Compression of the color images by SPIHT technique

In this paper, we propose a new method for the adaptation of SPIHT algorithm (set partitioning in hierarchical trees) to the color images. The goal is to effectively exploit the space and interspectral redundancies of the three components of the color. A slight modification of the "parent-children" relation, defined in SPIHT, was introduced, taking account of the interspectral correlation and the energy distribution of the image through the three components.
