Abstract

A method and apparatus for recursively optimizing the rate control of a hierarchical subband coding system that offers spatial, quality and/or complexity scalabilities. The rate control method recursively adjusts the quantizer scale for each layer of a subband tree, i.e., a subband decomposed image.
