Rate control optimization in embedded wavelet coding
To circumvent the lack of knowledge of what measure is more suitable for optimization of the trade-off between image fidelity and coding rate, this paper shall introduce a novel mathematical methodology for rate control by organizing the progressive transmission in accordance with coherence constraints for avoiding forms of behavioral inconsistency. This methodology could be used within a progressive transmission scheme to produce a new compression method (a rational embedded wavelet image coding). Here we compare a new coding scheme based on the proposed rate control technique against the state of art coder in progressive transmission and demonstrate its superior performance based on an objective criterion of evaluation.
