Symmetric-extension-compatible reversible integer-to-integer wavelet transforms

Abstract

Symmetric extension is explored as a means for constructing nonexpansive reversible integer-to-integer (ITI) wavelet transforms for finite-length signals. Two families of reversible ITI wavelet transforms are introduced, and their constituent transforms are shown to be compatible with symmetric extension. One of these families is then studied in detail, and several interesting results concerning its member transforms are presented. In addition, some new reversible ITI structures are derived that are useful in conjunction with techniques like symmetric extension. Lastly, the relationship between symmetric extension and per-lifting-step extension is explored, and some new results are obtained in this regard.

Optimal design of high-performance separable wavelet filter banks for image coding

“…In what follows, let L k denote the length of the lifting filter P k . It can be shown [22] that if the {P k } 2λ−1 k=0 are chosen to be of either of the following two forms, then the resulting filter bank will have linear phase:…”

“…In fact, this relaxed form of moment constraint is actually quite beneficial, as it allows increased design flexibility, which in most cases leads to better designs. In passing, we note that parameterization (7b) structurally imposes vanishing zeroth primal and dual moments [22]. So, when this parameterization is employed, the vanishing moment conditions for the zeroth moments will always be satisfied exactly.…”

Shift-Invariant DWT for Medical Image Classification

“…The integer wavelet which will be used is part of the Odd-Length Analysis/Synthesis Filter (OLASF) family, where the number of filter taps in the FIR filter (for the filterbank implementation) are odd Adams & Ward (2003). Additionally, biomedical images are high resolution images, which results in large image sizes.…”

Design of High-Performance Filter Banks for Image Coding

“…As suggested above, the linear-phase condition can be easily imposed through a clever choice of the lifting filters It can be shown [8] that if the {F k (z)} 2λ−1 k=0 are chosen to be of either of the following two forms, then the resulting filter bank will have linear phase:…”
