As the wavelet-based contourlet transform provides a multi-scale and directional decomposition for images
a new image coding scheme called CSPECK was proposed
which was constructed by wavelet-based contourlet transform and set partitioning embedded block (SPECK) algorithm. In the wavelet-based contourlet transform
the high frequency sub-band decomposed by the wavelet transform was further decomposed into multiple directional sub-bands by directional filter bank so as to explain the edge and texture of the image more sparsely. The SPECK algorithm exhibits lower complexity and more efficient compression ratio. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method is efficient in coding images that possess mostly textures and contours. The simulation results also show that this new coding algorithm increases the PSNR by 0.2~ 0.6 dB over CSPIHT.
