Abstract

One method of transmitting wavelet based zerotree encoded images over noisy channels is to add channel coding without altering the source coder. A second method is to reorder the embedded zerotree bitstream into packets containing a small set of wavelet coefficient trees. We consider a hybrid mixture of these two approaches and demonstrate situations in which the hybrid image coder can outperform either of the two building block methods, namely on channels that can suffer packet losses as well as statistically varying bit errors
