Search for: [Description = "This paper presents a fully scalable image coding scheme based on the set partitioning in hierarchical trees \(SPIHT\) algorithm. The proposed algorithm, called fully scalable SPIHT \(FS\-SPIHT\), adds the spatial scalability feature to the SPIHT algorithm. It provides this new functionality without sacrificing other important features of the original SPIHT bitstream such as\: compression efficiency, full embeddedness and rate scalability. The flexible output bitstream of the FS\-SPIHT encoder which consists of a set of embedded parts related to different resolutions and quality levels can be easily adapted \(reordered\) to given bandwidth and resolution requirements by a simple parser without decoding the bitstream. FS\-SPIHT is a very good candidate for image communication over heterogenous networks which requires high degree of scalability from image coding systems."]
