In this paper, a simplified structure of integer lifting wavelet filter banks for lossless image compression is proposed by shifting and merging the scaling factors of the row and the column wavelet transforms. It is implemented by reducing the numbers of scaling factors and considering the scaling lifting. The numbers of scaling factors of the 2-D wavelet transform can be reduced by shifting and merging operation, and then the computing speed can be improved. Furthermore, the scaling lifting of simplified structure can be used to reduce the computing errors and get more accurate results. Experiments show that the simplified integer lifting structure results in lesser computational steps than the standard integer lifting structure and therefore improves the speed of the image compression. Besides, using the new lossless image compression system based on simplified integer lifting wavelet, the lower bit-rates are obtained.
