Embedded color image coding using SPIHT with partially linked spatial orientation trees

This paper describes a variation of the set partitioning in hierarchical trees (SPIHT) scheme for color image coding. By using partially linked spatial orientation tree structures across different spectral planes, the new color-SPIHT scheme is able to embed both chrominance and luminance data in the coded bit stream. The performance is comparable to that of a SPIHT-based coding scheme but with significantly lower computational complexity.
