Wavelet construction using Lagrange halfband filters

Abstract

Using the approach described by M.J.T. Smith and T.P. Barnwell (1986) for obtaining exact-reconstruction filter banks, the authors present conjugate-quadrature and linear-phase solutions for two-channel filter banks using Lagrange halfband filters. It is shown that the wavelet solutions obtained by I. Daubechies (1988) under certain regularity conditions are the same as the conjugate-quadrature solutions derived from Lagrange halfband filters using the above approach. The linear-phase solution that is described provides filters with simple coefficients.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
