Abstract
Embedded zero-tree coding of wavelet coefficients (EZW) was introduced by Shapiro [132]. At that time, it produced state-of-the-art compression performance at a relatively modest level of complexity. The bit-stream produced by EZW is also embedded. Every prefix of the compressed bit-stream is itself a compressed bit-stream, but at a lower rate (quality). As we will see, EZW achieves its embedding via binary bit-plane coding of deadzone scalar quantizer indices.
