Purpose – Because of advantages such as multi‐scale and multi‐direction, contourlet transform is better at treating a 2‐D image than wavelet transform and the Classified Hidden Markov Tree (CHMT) model is able to analyze statistical character of coefficients, which means they can be analyzed more efficiently and effectively. So in this paper, the purpose is to use contourlet transform and CHMT model to redevelop traditional set partitioning in hierarchical trees (SPIHT) code algorithm, and by using these two methods, hope to decrease the distortion and increase the quality.
