J. T. Rucker and J. E. Fowler, "Coding of Ocean-Temperature Volumes Using Binary Set Splitting with k-d Trees," in Proceedings of the International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, Anchorage, AK, September 2004, vol. 1, pp. 289-292.

• Abstract:
  An embedded wavelet-based coder for the shape-adaptive coding of ocean-temperature data is described. The proposed coder, 3D binary set splitting with k-d trees (3D-BISK), is based upon the popular bitplane-coding paradigm and is specifically designed for shape-adaptive coding. Other similar coding methods use octree-based set partitioning; however, 3D-BISK employs a simpler set decomposition based on k-d trees which makes it more flexible when considering shape-adaptive coding. The performance of 3D-BISK is compared to prominent shape-adaptive coders and superior performance is demonstrated for a variety of ocean-temperature datasets.
