Abstract: This paper is dedicated to entropy coding for scalable video compression based on three-dimensional discrete wavelet transform (3-D DWT). A new simple bit-plane entropy coding of wavelet subband matrices is proposed. Practical results show that 3-D DWT video codec with proposed entropy coding allows to increase the encoding speed 2-3 times for the same quality level in comparison with x.264 codec which is one of the fastest software implementation of H.264/AVC standard.
