Constructions of two-dimensional nonseparable Malvar wavelets

Malvar wavelets or lapped orthogonal transform has been recognized as a useful tool in eliminating block effects in transform coding. Suter and Oxley extended the Malvar wavelets to more general forms, which enable one to construct an arbitrary orthonormal basis on different intervals. In this paper, we generalize the idea in Suter and Oxley from 1D to 2D cases and construct nonseparable Malvar wavelets, which is potentially important in multidimensional signal analysis. With nonseparable Malvar wavelets, we then construct nonseparable Lemarie-Meyer wavelets which are band-limited.
