MATLAB Implementation of SPIHT Algorithm
This MATLAB-coded SPIHT (Set Partitioning in Hierarchical Trees) algorithm, also known as hierarchical tree diversity compression, currently processes 8×8 matrices. While limited to small-scale operations due to time constraints, the core algorithm framework is fully implemented. With minor modifications, it can be extended to handle larger images. The implementation demonstrates key compression techniques including sorting passes and bit-plane coding.
