1. A method for processing a plurality of subbands of a subband decomposition, the method comprising:

  • partitioning each subband into a plurality of disjoint blocks;

    dividing each block into a plurality of disjoint sub-blocks; and

    coding the blocks bit-plane by bit-plane, the blocks of each subband being coded independently of each other;

    wherein a given bit-plane of a block is coded by arithmetically coding the bit-plane bit of each sub-block that is significant with respect to the given bit-plane.
