doi = 10.1109/76.499834] is an image compression algorithm that exploits the inherent similarities across the subbands in a wavelet decomposition of an image.
General description
The algorithm codes the most important wavelet transform coefficients first, and transmits the bits so that an increasingly refined copy of the original image can be obtained progressively.
The SPIHT is considered the premier state-of-the-art algorithm in image compressionFact|date=April 2008, and has given excellent results in terms of compression performance for the natural images (and signals).
