“…(a) the best known B-spline 9/7 filter bank [2,6] and, from the same family, the 9/3 filters [6, p. 277]; (b) two longer even-length kernels, the 10/18 of [29] and the 22/14 [33]; both have demonstrated, despite their length, competitive performance when used for 2D images and 3D medical data coding [14,12]; (c) two well-known short filters: the Haar and the 5/3 B-spline kernels [6, p. 277], because of their role in the current research on wavelet video coding. In fact short filters are useful for an effective MCTF, which must be used instead of the rectilinear third dimension (temporal) filtering for high-performance scalable video coding applications [18,Chapter 13].…”
