Abstract

This article deals with multiwavelets, which are a generalization of wavelets in the context of time-varying filter banks and with their applications to signal processing and especially compression. By their inherent structure, multiwavelets are fit for processing multichannel signals. This is the main issue in which we are interested. First, we review material on multiwavelets and their links with multifilter banks and, especially, time-varying filter banks. Then, we have a close look at the problems encountered when using multiwavelets in applications, and we propose new solutions for the design of multiwavelets filter banks by introducing the so-called balanced multiwavelets
