The following may be of interest. The compression program in MR/1, for
instance, includes various wavelet and other multiscale options,
various noise models, variable compression ratio and quantization level,
lossless and other options. Decompression can be based on specified
scales to allow for progressive transmission, and an applet is
provided to illustrate this.

quality image compression based on noise modeling", International Journal
of Imaging Science and Technology 9, 38-45, 1998.
Visualization, deconvolution, image registration, vision modeling and
many other topics are also comprehensively covered in the new book (details
below) and in the MR/1 software package. A significant part of this work
is based on IDL.
