Abstract

We present a study on applications of multiwavelet analysis to image compression, where filter coefficients form matrices. As a multiwavelet filter bank has multiple channels of inputs, we investigate the data initialization problem by considering prefilters and postfilters that may give more efficient representations of the decomposed data. The interpolation postfilter and prefilter are formulated, which are capable to provide a better approximate image at each coarser resolution level. A design process is given to obtain both filters having compact supports, if exist. Image compression performances of some multiwavelet systems are studied in comparison to those of single wavelet systems.
