M-channel cosine-modulated wavelet bases

In this paper, we propose a new M-channel wavelet bases called the cosine-modulated wavelets. We first generalize the theory of two-channel biorthogonal compactly supported wavelet bases to the M-channel case. A sufficient condition for the M-channel perfect reconstruction filter banks to construct M-channel compactly supported wavelet bases is given. By using this condition, a family of orthogonal and biorthogonal M-channel cosine-modulated wavelet bases is constructed by iterations of cosine-modulated filter banks (CMFB). The advantages of the approach are their simple design procedure, efficient implementation and good filter quality. A method for imposing the regularity on the cosine-modulated filter banks is also introduced and design example is given.
