The generalized lapped transform (GLT) for subband coding applications

This paper proposes a new family of perfect reconstruction (PR) linear phase filter banks called the generalized lapped transform (GLT). The GLT differs from the traditional lapped orthogonal transform (LOT) in that it is nonorthogonal and hence offers more freedom to avoid blocking effects and improve the coding gain. Since the GLT can also be viewed as a generalization of the traditional discrete cosine transform (DCT), fast algorithms for their implementation are also available.
