Antisymmetric biorthogonal coiflets for image coding
Wavelet techniques have achieved a tremendous success in image data compression. In designing wavelet coding algorithms, the choice of wavelet systems is of great importance for compression performance. We design the entire class of antisymmetric biorthogonal coiflet systems, whose filterbanks have even lengths and are linear phase. We show that one of the novel filterbanks achieves noticeably better rate-distortion performance than several state-of-the-art filterbanks in image coding.
