Symmetric-antisymmetric orthonormal multiwavelet infrared image compression research

Multiwavelets are new addition to the body of wavelet theory. In recent years, it has been a new research spot. There are many types of symmetric-antisymmetric orthonormal multiwavelets; such as CL and Sa4 multiwavelets. They perfectly combine smoothness, short support, orthogonality, symmetry. ect. For the intense competition in space technology, the transmission and storage information of infrared images is very huge, the infrared images compression becomes very important. So in this paper, multiwavelet-based infrared image compression technology is researched. Experimental result shows that this algorithm is efficient in infrared image compression domain and superior to traditional methods.
