A new structure of parallel filter bank allowing perfect reconstruction

New parallel filter banks allowing perfect reconstruction which are categorized in coding intermediate between subband coding and predictive coding are presented. M-channel filter banks allowing perfect reconstruction are represented mathematically, and filter banks categorized in the above coding are discovered. Three types of three-channel filter banks are designed. The coding gains of these filter banks are then maximized, i.e., the filter coefficients are optimized from the viewpoint of energy compaction property. Computer simulation shows that the designed filter bank performs well.<<ETX>>
