A method and apparatus for adaptive bit allocation and hybrid lossless entropy encoding. The system includes three components: (1) a transform stage, (2) a quantization stage, and (3) a lossless entropy coder stage. The transform stage (1) uses a wavelet transform algorithm. The quantization stage (2) adaptively estimates values for parameters defining an approximation between quantization size and the logarithm of quantization error, and recursively calculates the optimal quantization size for each band to achieve a desired bit rate. The baseband and subbands are transformed into quantization matrices using the corresponding quantization sizes. The lossless entropy coder stage (3) uses the observation that the entropy property of run lengths of zero index values in the subband quantization matrices is different from the entropy property of non-zero indices. Each quantization matrix is parsed so that each non-zero index is extracted into a separate stream, and the remaining position information is parsed into an odd stream of run length values for "0" and an even stream of run length values for "1 ". These three streams are Huffman coded separately in conventional fashion.
