....function. Whereas, the Multiwavelets spans the lowpass space by translations and dilations of more than one mother wavelet functions [8] They are known to have several advantages over scalar wavelets such as support, orthogonality, symmetry, and higher order vanishing moments. Strela et al. [9] claimed that multiwavelet soft thresholding offer better results than the traditional scalar wavelet soft thresholding. Since the wavelet thresholding have been applied to log transformed SAR images for speckle reduction [10] it is natural to attempt multiwavelet denoising. GCV based ....

It has been shown [16] that multiwavelets have some advantages over the conventional wavelets, especially in data compression. In this section we provide the connection between MIMO biorthogonal partners and prefilters employed in multiwavelet theory. To that end we first give a brief overview of some of the results ....

Due to a larger flexibility, biwavelets can be more symmetric, have shorter support, and be smoother (more regular) than uniwavelets; see the discussion in [8,13,19,20,22]. This together with a biwavelet discrete transform, which has the same complexity O(n) as its uniwavelet counterpart, implies excellent approximation properties of biwavelets. On the other hand, because now 2n wavelet coefficients should be calculated based on just n observations, the case of a ....

....banks. An important property of multiwavelets is approximation order. In the case of compactly supported multiwavelets, this corresponds to the property of polynomial reproduction. In applications, one must associate a given discrete signal with a function in the scaling space V 0 (see [2] [10], 12] 14] 13] Such a process is referred to as prefiltering. In a companion to this paper, Hardin and Roach [4] develop a theory for constructing prefilters which preserve both orthogonality and approximation order up to order 2 (that is up to linear polynomial reproduction) In this paper, we ....

....Theoretically, multiwavelets should perform even better due to the extra freedom in the design of multifilters. But previously published results still favor wavelets since the effective application of multiwavelets requires solving additional problems to those encountered with wavelets [1], 2] Theoretical and experimental results in the study of multiwavelets have been steadily progressing and all of the key components for the application of multiwavelets to image compression are now in place. In particular, there now exist methods for: the construction of orthogonal and ....

We explain this in detail showing, with examples, several possible cases. The purpose of this paper is also to extend the experimentation made in [22], regarding signal compression, to multiwavelet bases other than the Geronimo Hardin Massopust basis, with the use of different prefilters.

This problem is known as data preprocessing or prefiltering and several ways of evaluating the required starting sequences are given in [22], 24] where the Geronimo Hardin Massopust orthonormal multiwavelets are considered. In this section we show how the preprocessing method is strongly dependent on the chosen multi scaling function and, especially for compression problems, is all the more efficient the better it approximates the ....

....I. Introduction I N this paper, prefilters are constructed for multiwaveletbased matrix filter banks which preserve certain properties of the central filter bank. Two of the important properties of the DGHM multiwavelet [2] 1] are their orthogonality and approximation order. As noted in [8] and [5], there is a necessary prefiltering step that corresponds to associating discrete signals with functions in the scaling space V 0 . The prefilter must be compatible with the central matrix filter banks in order to fully exploit the underlying properties of the filter banks. For instance, a ....

In this case, we also say that the scaling vector Phi (which generates fV j g) has approximation order p. Because Phi is compactly supported, it is known (see [3] [5]) that Phi has approximation order p if and only if there exist vector coefficients ff n (k) such that x n = X k ff n (k) T Phi(x Gamma k) n = 0; p Gamma 1 (5) where ff n = ff 1 n ; ff 2 n ; ff r n ) T .
