The SPIHT (set partitioning in hierarchical trees) algorithm has attracted great attention in recent years as a technique for image coding. Not only does it give good objective and subjective performance, it is also simple and efficient. In this paper we propose an enhanced image lossless image compression that is based on SPIHT The most important modification in this algorithm is the addition of a simple modification to the set of type A with a new test on the threshold . Our experiments show that this improvement increases the performance of lossless image coding for all standard test images.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
