This paper presents a lossless image compression method, which provides progressive transmission property and scalability. The proposed method enables the codec to have an asymmetric structure by employing a fast adaptive subband decomposition and the optimization of the quantization parameter during arithmetic coding. This method provides a higher compression ratio than JPEG lossless mode.
