Abstract:The filter design is the key to 2-D image wavelet transform. Based on the studying of image properties and 1-D wavelet theory,the authors describe a parasymmetry boundary extension method and realize 2-D discrete wavelet transform by means of 1-D wavelet transform according to correlation of adjacent pixels. Also,it is proved that the discrete wavelet transform of inverse data stream in row and the sign of discrete detail signal will be inversed,and that a filter of wavelet transform based on symmetry of bi_orthogonal filter is constructed. The test has proved the fine reconstruction and perfect SNR.
