SMPTE Tutorial: Wavelets and Image Compression

John C. Huffman

Wavelet technology combines powerful new mathematical methods for representing functions with efficient software and very large scale integration (VLSI) implementations. Government and commercial evaluations have shown that wavelet-based still-image compression outperforms all other methods considered, including those based on the discrete cosine transform (DCT).
