Two enhanced subband coding schemes using a regularized image restoration technique are proposed: the first controls the global regularity of the decompressed image; the second extends the first approach at each decomposition level. The quantization scheme incorporates scalar quantization (SQ) and pyramidal lattice vector quantization (VQ) with both optimal bit and quantizer allocation. Experimental results show that both the block effect due to VQ and the quantization noise are significantly reduced.
