Boundary operation of 2-D nonseparable linear-phase paraunitary filter banks.

Abstract

This paper proposes a boundary operation technique of 2-D nonseparable linear-phase paraunitary filter banks (NS-LPPUFBs) for size limitation. The proposed technique is based on a lattice structure consisting of the 2-D separable block discrete cosine transform and nonseparable support-extension processes. The bases are allowed to be anisotropic with the fixed critically subsampling, overlapping, orthogonal, symmetric, real-valued, and compact-support properties. First, the blockwise implementation is developed so that the basis images can be locally controlled. The local control of basis images is shown to maintain orthogonality. This property leads a basis termination (BT) technique as a boundary operation. The technique overcomes the drawback of NS-LPPUFBs that the popular symmetric extension method is invalid. Through some experimental results of diagonal texture coding, the significance of the BT is verified.
