Abstract :
The MPEG-4 visual texture coding (VTC) is a wavelet-based image coder that was created in the context of synthetic and natural hybrid coding (SNHC) to support applications that demand high-quality, efficient, and scalable textures. This paper provides an overview of various MPEG-4 VTC techniques and the functionalities supported by these techniques.
