Abstract:
1. A method for wireless image transmission, comprising the steps of: inputting an image selected from the group consisting of uncompressed images and compressed images, whereupon if said image is UNCOMPRESSED, then said method for wireless image transmission further comprises the steps of: performing a wavelet transform of said image to produce wavelet coefficients; performing a scalar quantization of said wavelet coefficients; organizing said coefficients into low-resolution sub-bands and high-resolution sub-bands; forming said organized coefficients into a binary stream representation; modulating said binary stream representation; transmitting said modulated binary stream representation over a wireless channel; demodulating said transmitted binary stream; reconverting said demodulated binary stream back into reconverted wavelet coefficient values; dividing said reconverted wavelet coefficient values into low resolution and high resolution coefficients; performing a wavelet coefficient combining process, comprising:
