The JASF graph combines partitionable frequency expansion and spatial segmentation of the image, symmetrically. We demonstrate by using a rate-distortion framework for basis selection that the JASF graph improves compression performance over recent wavelet packet and double-tree methods by offering exponentially more bases in which to represent the images %U http://www.ee.columbia.edu/dvmm/publications/97/smithicip97.pdf %8 October %D 1997
