In order to maximise the available information for human identification of faces, a variety of coding schemes based on Binary Tree Predictive Coding 5 (BTPC5) are proposed and evaluated against similar schemes applied to the JPEG coder. The results of these schemes are presented quantatively with some discussion of the subjective results.10.2312/vvg.20031018
