Wavelet image and video coding on parallel architectures

We discuss parallel algorithms for wavelet-based image and video coding. After reviewing fundamentals of the parallel discrete wavelet transform, we cover the parallelization of two state-of-the-art compression schemes: a C++ 3D SPIHT video codec and a Java JPEG-2000 implementation.
