  • Patent number: 7634145
    Abstract: A compression and decompression system in which a reversible wavelet filter are used to generates coefficients from input data, such as image data. The reversible wavelet filter is an efficient transform implemented with integer arithmetic that has exact reconstruction. The present invention uses the reversible wavelet filter in a lossless system (or lossy system) in which an embedded codestream is generated from the coefficients produced by the filter. An entropy coder performs entropy coding on the embedded codestream to produce the compressed data stream.

  • Patent number: 7418142
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for encoding and decoding data is described. The present invention includes a method and apparatus for generating transformed signals in response to input data. In one embodiment, the transformed signals are generated using a reversible wavelet transform. The present invention also includes a method and apparatus for compressing the transformed signals into data representing a losslessly compressed version of the input data. In one embodiment, the present invention decomposes the input data using a non-minimal length reversible filter. The decomposition may be performed using multiple one-dimension filters.
