This paper presents a method to apply progressive transmission to line drawings using the wavelet transform. Experiments have been conducted and showed that the wavelet transform, combined with a quantization step, performs progressive transmission using a data rate comparable to standard chain coding at the expense of almost no visually perceptible distortion.
