Low bit-rate design considerations for wavelet-based image coding
Michael L. Lightstone, Eric Majani · Proceedings of SPIE, the International Society for Optical Engineering/Proceedings of SPIE · 1994
Biorthogonal and orthogonal filter pairs derived from the class of binomial product filters are considered for wavelet transform implementation with the goal of high performance lossy compression. To help narrow the potential candidate filters, a number of design objectives based on filter frequency response and orthonormality are introduced with final selection being determined by experimental rate-distortion performance. While image data compression is specifically addressed, many of the proposed techniques are applicable to other coding applications.
