M-Channel compactly supported biorthogonal cosine-modulated wavelet bases

Abstract

In this correspondence, we generalize the theory of compactly supported biorthogonal two-channel wavelet bases to M -channel. A sufficient condition for the M-channel perfect reconstruction filter banks to construct M-channel biorthogonal bases of compactly supported wavelets is derived. It is shown that the construction of biorthogonal Af-channel wavelet bases is equivalent to the design of a Af-channel perfect reconstruction filter bank with some added regularity conditions. A family of M-channel biorthogonal wavelet bases based on the cosinemodulated filter bank (CMFB) is proposed. It has the advantages of simple design procedure, efficient implementation, and good filter quality. A new method for imposing the regularity on the CMFB's is also introduced, and several design examples are given. ©1998 IEEE.published_or_final_versio
