Abstract
Introduces a new image coding scheme using lattice vector quantization. The proposed method involves two steps: biorthogonal wavelet transform of the image, and lattice vector quantization of wavelet coefficients. In order to obtain a compromise between minimum distortion and bit rate, we must truncate and scale the lattice suitably. To meet this goal, we need to know how many lattice points lie within the truncated area. We investigate the case of Laplacian sources where surfaces of equal probability are spheres for the L(1) metric (pyramids) for arbitrary lattices. We give explicit generating functions for the codebook sizes for the most useful lattices like Z(n), D(n), E(s), wedge(16).
