Unlike conventional approaches, all bitplanes of coefficients are processed in parallel in the proposed algorithm. The algorithm is based on the observations and the analysis of the significant state of a coefficient and its contribution to neighbors. As a result of the analysis, there is only the coding pass of the MSB of a coefficient is the required information for the word-level processing. An algorithm for finding the coding pass of the MSB of a coefficient is also proposed. The number of scans of the entire code block is reduced to two scans and is independent of the number of bit planes. © 2003 IEEE.application/pdf233745 bytesapplication/pdfCodes (symbols); Signal encoding; A-coefficient; Bit planes; Code blocks; Coding pass; Conventional approach; Embedded block coding; JPEG 2000; Level algorithms; Algorithmsconference paper10.1109/ICME.2003.12208732-s2.0-84908496076
