Multidimensional Multirate Systems: Characterization, Design, and Applications MULTIDIMENSIONAL MULTIRATE SYSTEMS: CHARACTERIZATION, DESIGN, AND APPLICATIONS BY JIANPING ZHOU B.S., Xi’an Jiaotong University, 1997 M.E., Peking University, 2000 DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Electrical Engineering in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2005 Urbana, Illinois c 2005 by Jianping Zhou.

Traditional multidimensional multirate systems are tensor products of one-dimensional systems. While these systems are easy to implement and design, they are inadequate to represent multidimensional signals since they cannot capture the geometric structure. Therefore, “true” multi- dimensional systems are more suited to multidimensional signals, such as images and videos. This thesis focuses on the characterization, design, and applications of “true” multidimensional multirate systems. One key property of multidimensional mul- tirate systems is perfect reconstruction, which guarantees the original input can be perfectly reconstructed from the outputs. The most popular multidimensional multirate systems are multidimensional filter banks, including critically sampled and oversampled ones. Characterizing and designing multidimensional perfect reconstruction filter banks have been challenging tasks. For critically sampled filter banks, previous one-dimensional theory cannot be extended to the multi- dimensional case due to the lack of a multidimensional factorization theorem. For oversampled filter banks, existing one-dimensional theory does not work in the multidimensional case. We derive complete characterizations of multidimen- sional critically sampled and oversampled filter banks and propose novel design methods for multidimensional filter banks. We illustrate our multidimensional multirate system theory by several image processing applications. iii To my wife Jie and my baby Ruijie. iv ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to thank my advisor, Professor Minh N.

  • Euclidean Algorithm for Laurent Polynomial Matrix Extension
    Euclidean Algorithm for Laurent Polynomial Matrix Extension |A note on dual-chain approach to construction of wavelet filters Jianzhong Wang May 11, 2015 Abstract In this paper, we develop a novel and effective Euclidean algorithm for Laurent polynomial matrix extension (LPME), which is the key of the construction of perfect reconstruction filter banks (PRFBs). The algorithm simplifies the dual-chain approach to the construction of PRFBs in the paper [5]. The algorithm in this paper can also be used in the applications where LPME plays a role. Key words.

In the theory, the perfect reconstruction filter banks (PRFBs) play an important role [7, 8, 17, 18, 19, 20]. A PRFB consists of two sub-filter banks: an analysis filter bank, which is used to decompose signals into different bands, and a synthetic filter bank, which is used to compose a signal from its different band components. Either an analysis filter bank or a synthetic one consists of several band-pass filters. Figure 1 illustrates the role of an M-band PRFB, in which, the filter set fH0;H1; ··· ;HM−1g forms an analysis filter bank and the filter set fB0;B1; ··· ;BM−1g forms a synthetic one.

    FACTORING PERFECT RECONSTRUCTION FILTER BANKS INTO CAUSAL LIFTING MATRICES: A DIOPHANTINE APPROACH CHRISTOPHER M. BRISLAWN Abstract. The theory of linear Diophantine equations in two unknowns over polynomial rings is used to construct causal lifting factorizations for causal two- channel FIR perfect reconstruction multirate filter banks and wavelet trans- forms. The Diophantine approach generates causal lifting factorizations sat- isfying certain polynomial degree-reducing inequalities, enabling a new lifting factorization strategy called the Causal Complementation Algorithm. This provides an alternative to the noncausal lifting scheme based on the Ex- tended Euclidean Algorithm for Laurent polynomials that was developed by Daubechies and Sweldens. The new approach, which can be regarded as Gauss- ian elimination in polynomial matrices, utilizes a generalization of polynomial division that ensures existence and uniqueness of quotients whose remainders satisfy user-specified divisibility constraints. The Causal Complementation Al- gorithm is shown to be more general than the Extended Euclidean Algorithm approach by generating causal lifting factorizations not obtainable using the polynomial Euclidean Algorithm. 1. Introduction Figure1 depicts the Z-transform representation of a two-channel multirate digital def i filter bank with input X(z) = i x(i)z− [1,2,3,4,5]. It is a perfect reconstruction (PR) filter bank if the transfer function X(z)=X(z) is a monomial (i.e., a constant P multiple of a delay) in the absence of additional processing or distortion. For suit- ably chosen polyphase transfer matrices bH(z) and G(z) the system in Figure1 is mathematically equivalent to the polyphase-with-delay (PWD) filter bank represen- tation in Figure2[2,4].

  • Learning Filter Bank Sparsifying Transforms Luke Pfister, Student Member, IEEE, Yoram Bresler, Fellow, IEEE
    1 Learning Filter Bank Sparsifying Transforms Luke Pfister, Student Member, IEEE, Yoram Bresler, Fellow, IEEE Abstract Data is said to follow the transform (or analysis) sparsity model if it becomes sparse when acted on by a linear operator called a sparsifying transform. Several algorithms have been designed to learn such a transform directly from data, and data-adaptive sparsifying transforms have demonstrated excellent performance in signal restoration tasks. Sparsifying transforms are typically learned using small sub-regions of data called patches, but these algorithms often ignore redundant information shared between neighboring patches. We show that many existing transform and analysis sparse representations can be viewed as filter banks, thus linking the local properties of patch-based model to the global properties of a convolutional model. We propose a new transform learning framework where the sparsifying transform is an undecimated perfect reconstruction filter bank. Unlike previous transform learning algorithms, the filter length can be chosen independently of the number of filter bank channels. Numerical results indicate filter bank sparsifying transforms outperform existing patch-based transform learning for image denoising while benefiting from additional flexibility in the design process. Index Terms sparsifying transform, analysis model, analysis operator learning, sparse representations, perfect reconstruction, filter bank. I. INTRODUCTION Countless problems, from statistical inference to geological exploration, can be stated as the recovery of high-quality data from incomplete and/or corrupted linear measurements. Often, recovery is possible only if a model of the desired signal is used to regularize the recovery problem. A powerful example of such a signal model is the sparse representation, wherein the signal of interest admits a representation with few nonzero coefficients.

  • Discrete Wavelet Transform, Lifting, and Image Coding: an Overview
    Chapter 2 Discrete Wavelet Transform, Lifting, and Image Coding: An Overview This second chapter is an overview of the relevant issues required in the development of the Ph.D. thesis dissertation and a description of the state-of-the-art surrounding the lifting scheme. Sec- tion 2.1 starts with an introduction to wavelet theory and discrete wavelet transforms. Their connection to filter banks and subband coding is established. The employment of the wavelet transform in image compression is then justified. Section 2.2 introduces lifting scheme and de- scribes its use and advantages in image coding. Adaptive lifting is the foundation stone of the nonlinear transforms proposed in this dissertation. It is briefly described in section 2.2.6 waiting for the more detailed analysis in chapter 4. Section 2.3 is a state-of-the-art review on lifting filters design and optimization techniques. Section 2.4 refers to some related nonlinear decompositions. Finally, section 2.5 is a review of another fundamental aspect for this work, the wavelet-based image coders. 2.1 Discrete Wavelet Transform A main goal of wavelet research [Dau88, Coh92, Mal98, Bur98] is to create a set of expansion functions and transforms that give informative, efficient, and useful description of a function or signal. In applications working on discrete signals, one never has to directly deal with expansion functions. Discrete wavelet transform (DWT) is obtained simply by passing a discrete signal through a filter bank (figure 2.1). Wavelet theory can be understood and developed only by using such digital filters. This is the meeting point between wavelets and subband coding and the origin of two different nomenclatures for the same concepts.
