abstract = "In wavelet-based L-infinity-constrained embedded coding, the bit-stream is truncated at the bit-rate that corresponds to a guaranteed, user-defined distortion bound. The letter analyzes the optimality of embedded deadzone scalar-quantizers for high-rate L-infinity-constrained scalable wavelet-based image coding. A rate-distortion model applicable to the family of embedded deadzone scalar-quantizers is derived and experimentally validated. Conclusions are drawn regarding the optimal subband-quantizer instantiations. The optimal quantizers are employed in a coding algorithm that retains the coding performance and the flexibility options of wavelet-based codecs while allowing for a fully embedded L-infinity-oriented bit-stream.",
