Image compression based on orthogonal balanced multiwavelets with symmetry/antisymmetry

Multiwavelets have orthogonality, compacted support and symmetry simultaneously, these properties are very important for signal processing. However, most of Multiwavelets require related prefilters. An approach to construction of symmetry/antisymmetry orthogonal filter is proposed and its corresponding balanced filter is constructed, no any prefilter is necessary. Experimental results prove its performance is superior to DGHM and CL multiwavelets, higher than Bi9/7.
