Multiwavelet extends traditional scalar wavelet to vector space
and includes all the advantages of the traditional wavelet. Multiwavelet shows the perfect union of symmetry
orthogonally
finitely support and smoothness. As a result
the applications of multiwavelet in image processing have shown great potential. An image coding method of image coding based on EBCOT algorithm and multiwavelet transform was proposed. In this research
a variety of commonlyused multiwavelet bases were used to combine EBCOT algorithm.The experimental result shows that the proposed method is a valuable attempt of image compression.
