Vector-valued wavelets and vector filter banks

In this paper, we introduce vector-valued multiresolution analysis and vector-valued wavelets for vector-valued signal spaces, We construct vector-valued wavelets by using paraunitary vector filter bank theory. In particular, we construct vector-valued Meyer wavelets that are band-limited, We classify and construct vector-valued wavelets with sampling property. As an application of vector-valued wavelets, multiwavelets can be constructed from vector-valued wavelets, We show that certain linear combinations of known scalar-valued wavelets may yield multiwavelets, We then present discrete vector wavelet transforms for discrete-time vector-valued (or blocked) signals, which can be thought of as a family of unitary vector transforms.
