We investigate the analysis of Mojette transform projec- tions in an image coding context. A strategy for choosing projections elements (denoted as bins) is introduced in or- der to obtain compact bin-streams. In a first part the Mo- jette transform is presented with its direct and inverse al- gorithms. In a second part these basis algorithms are up- graded, to select the useful bins for image reconstruction, and to get well-defined streams for projection coding. The rules for this selection are detailed. Results of real world image coding will be presented.
