A New Class of Two-Channel Biorthogonal Filter Banks and Wavelet Bases.

Abstract

Abstract-We propose a novel framework for a new class of two-channel biorthogonal filter banks. The framework covers two useful subclasses: i) causal stable IIR filter banks ii) linear phase FIR filter banks. There exists a very effcient structurally perfect reconstruction implementation for such a class. Filter banks of high frequency selectivity can be achieved by using the proposed framework with low complexity. The properties of such a class are discussed in detail. The design of the analysis/synthesis systems reduces to the design of a single transfer function. Very simple design methods are given both for FIR and IIR cases. Zeros of arbitrary multiplicity at aliasing frequency can be easily imposed, for the purpose of generating wavelets with regularity property. In the IIR case, two new classes of IIR maximally f i t filters different from Butterworth filters are introduced. The filter coefficients are given in closed form. The wavelet bases corresponding to the biorthogonal systems are generated. We also provide a novel mapping of the proposed 1-D framework into 2-D. The mapping preserves the following: i) perfect reconstruction ii) stability in the IIR case iii) linear phase in the FIR case iv) zeros at aliasing frequency v) frequency characteristic of the filters.

Palmprint Compression using Wavelet based Contourlet Transform and SPIHT

“…The filters chosen for the two stages of decomposition are 9/7 filter and PKVA filters. The 9/7 filter is a bi-orthogonal filter and PKVA filter is coined from the first names of the four authors who proposed it, Phoong, Kim, Vaidyanathan, and Ansari [7] . It is of quincunx/fan filter type.…”

“…The band pass outputs at various levels of Laplacian pyramids are analyzed using Directional Filter Banks (DFB) for extracting the angular information [5]. But due to redundancy nature of Laplacian pyramidal representation of images, the use of contourlet transform has not become popular for image compression algorithms [6][7].…”

Coding of spatio-temporal audio spectra using tree-structured directional filterbanks

“…Such a filterbank has been extensively studied [7,8,3], and is known as Quincunx Filterbank (QFB). The QFB is a non-separable perfect reconstruction filterbank defined by two diamond-shaped half-band filters, H 0 (z) and H 1 (z), preceded by a parallelogram resampler R and followed by a quincunx resampler Q [9], as illustrated in Fig.…”

Bi-orthogonal Filter Banks with Directional Vanishing Moments

“…The analysis filter is zero-phase with 7×13 coefficients and the synthesis with 9×17, also zero-phase. As a comparison, we use the quincunx/fan filters of [9] (PKVA), where the analysis filter has 23×23 taps and the synthesis 46×46. For this synthetic image, a significant improvement is observed.…”
