A New Family of Spline-Based Biorthogonal Wavelet Transforms and Their Application to Image Compression

Abstract

In this paper. we design a new family of biorthogonal wavelet transforms and describe their applications to still image compression. The wavelet transforms are constructed from various types of interpolatory and quasiinterpolatory splines. The transforms use finite impulse response and infinite impulse response filters that are implemented in a fast lifting mode.
