An image compression system for implementing a zerotree wavelet compression algorithm. The compression system uses a wavelet based coding system wh takes advantage of the correlation between insignificant coefficients at different scales. The compression system uses parallel arrays of processing elements...http://www.google.de/patents/US6148111?utm_source=gb-gplus-sharePatent US6148111 - Parallel digital image compression system for exploiting zerotree redundancies in wavelet coefficients
