Design of two-dimensional digital filters using singular-value decomposition and balanced approximation method
Wu-Sheng Lu, H.-P. Wang, A. Antoniou · IEEE Transactions on Signal Processing · 1991
It is shown that the singular-value decomposition (SVD) of the sampled amplitude response of a two-dimensional (2-D) digital filter possesses a special structure: every singular vector is either mirror-image symmetric or antisymmetric with respect to its midpoint. Consequently, the SVD can be applied along with 1-D finite impulse response (FIR) techniques for the design of linear-phase 2-D filters with arbitrary prescribed amplitude responses which are symmetrical with respect to the origin of the ( omega Psi omega /sub 2/) plane. The balanced approximation method is applied to linear-phase 2-D FIR filters of the type that may be obtained by using the SVD method. The method leads to economical and computationally efficient filters, usually infinite impulse response filters, which have prescribed amplitude responses and whose phase responses are approximately linear.>
