A new general method is proposed for image coding which exploits similarities, possibly with scaling, among different parts of the image. The coding is a linear combination of blocks selected from a pool of basis blocks. this pool is made up of (1) a set of fixed basis blocks, (2) a set of blocks taken from the filtered, subsampled image, and (3) a set of blocks taken from the image without any change of scale. When the last two sets are selected causally, the decoding process is noniterative with no constraints on the coefficients of the basis blocks. The index of the selected basis blocks and their corresponding coefficients make the code for each range block. Methods are proposed for making the pool and selecting blocks from the pool.
