Stabilization of the compressed data formation rate in hierarchical image compression

A new method is proposed for stabilizing the rate of compressed data formation in the case of hierarchical image compression. The method is based on using various values of the control parameter (maximum error) for various scale levels of image representation and for error correction at the last level depending on the received compressed information content.
