Multiwavelet is attracting more and more attention for its good properties such as orthogonality, symmetry, compactly supported, high vanishing moment and balance contrast with the traditional wavelet. These properties, along with optimum time-frequency resolution (OPTFR) are all very important in image processing. Multifilter banks having all properties of symmetry, balancing, optimum time-fre...

Motivated by [B. Han and Q. Mo, Adv. Comp. Math. 18 (2003) 211-245] and [B. Han and Z. Shen, Constr. Approx. 29 (2009) 369-406], we propose dual two-direction frames in dual Sobolev spaces (H(R), H−s(R)), with s > 0. Based on the dual two-direction frames from a pair of two-direction refinable functions, dual multiwavelet frames with symmetry {Ψ(x) := (ψ 1(x), ψ 2(x)) T }`=1 and {Ψ̃(x) : = (ψ̃ 1(...

In this paper, we propose digital image watermarking algorithm in the multiwavelet transform domain. The embedding technique is based on the quantization index modulation technique and this technique does not require the original image in the watermark extraction. We have developed an optimization technique using the genetic algorithm to search for optimal quantization steps to improve the qual...

This paper analyses performance of multiwavelets a variant of wavelet transform on compression of medical images. To do so, two processes namely, transformation for decorrelation and encoding are done. In transformation stage medical images are subjected to multiwavelet transform using multiwavelets such as GeronimoHardin-Massopust, Chui Lian, Cardinal 2 Balanced (Cardbal2) and orthogonal symme...

We present a new family of compactly supported and symmetric biorthogonal wavelet systems. Each refinement mask in this family has tension parameter ω. When ω = 0, it becomes the minimal length biorthogonal Coifman wavelet system [22]. Choosing ω away from zero, we can get better smoothness of the refinable functions at the expense of slightly larger support. Though the construction of the new ...
