A class of lifting based integer wavelet transform
D.B.H. Tay · 2002
A class of integer wavelet transform (IWT) which are parametrized simply by one free parameter is presented . The class of IWT is obtained by a lifting based factorization on a class of 9/7 filter pair. The class includes the celebrated 9/7 filter pair of Cohen, Daubechies and Feauveau which is adopted in the upcoming JPEG2000 image compression standard. Within this class are lifting filters with simple rational coefficients which are close in characteristics to the irrational coefficient 9/7 pair employed in JPEG2000. By adjusting the free parameter, IWT with different properties and characteristics can be obtained. A study of the non-linearity of this class of IWT is also performed.
