Of course. It is basically yet another transformation based encoding.

Yes. However I'm on another track. The main goal is not incredible compression,
but rather a somewhat scalable compression with some specific boundary
conditions. I.e. the method I am working on does not separate by spatial
frequencies like wavelets, JPEG etc. do, but by "image properties" like
edges, color/greyvalue and texture.

I'll have a look. TNX.
