A computer system includes a memory and a processor. The memory stores a program to cause the processor to provide wavelet coefficients that indicate an image. The processor represent each wavelet coefficient as a collection of ordered bits, and the processor codes the bits of each order to indicate zerotree roots that are associated with the order.

A computer system includes a memory and a processor. The memory stores a program to cause the processor to provide error data that indicate motion in an image. The processor represent each error signal as a collection of ordered bits, and the processor codes the bits of each order to indicate zerotree roots that are associated with the order.

In accordance with one embodiment of the invention, a method of compressing a color image includes the following. The wavelet transform of each of the respective color planes of the color image is computed. One of the respective wavelet transformed color plane frames is encoded. For the other two respective wavelet transformed color plane frames, a prediction coefficient from at least one of subbands of each color plane thereof is computed. In accordance with another embodiment of the invention, a method of decompressing a compressed color image includes the following. The compressed color image includes at least an encoded frame for one color plane of the color image and prediction coefficients for the other two color plane frames of the color image. The one color plane frame of the color image is reconstructed from the encoded frame. The other two color plane frames of the color image are at least partially reconstructed from the reconstructed one color plane frame and the prediction coefficients.
