Abstract

M-band generalizations of the FIR wavelets of Daubechies have recently been introduced by several authors. We present here a set of explicit construction techniques for these M-band wavelet filters, and the results of their application to image compression. Beginning with a characterization of several equivalent notions of N-th order regularity for M-bend perfect reconstruction filters, we then uae this characterization to devise a closed-form expression for N-th order regular wavelet lowpass filters. We complete the construction of a full M-band filter bank given a lowpass filter and a rank M unitary matrix. Finally, we apply several of these new wavelets to image coding.
