Second Generation Wavelet Transform Applied to Loss less Compression Coding of Image[J]. Journal of Image and Graphics, 2000, 5(8): 699. DOI: 10.11834/jig.20000815.
a new method for construction of second generation wavelet transform(SGWT) was introduced in briefly. The characteristics of SGWT are as follows: It still has the multiresolution nature as first generation wavelet
the construction is independent on Fourier transform
the coefficients after transform are integer
the performance of reconstruction of image is not influenced by the boundary conditions. Then
the second generation wavelet transform was applied to image lossless coding
according to the characteristic of integer transform of SGWT. SGWT can provide higher compression ratio than Huffman coding while it reconstruct image without lossing compared with first generation wavelet transform. The experiment results show the SGWT has exihibited excellent performance in medical image compression coding.
