Baraniuk, "Nonlinear Wavelet Transforms for Image Coding via Lifting," <i>IEEE Transactions on Image Processing,</i> vol. 12, no. 12, 2003.https://hdl.handle.net/1911/19809Journal PaperWe investigate central issues such as invertibility, stability, synchronization, and frequency characteristics for nonlinear wavelet transforms built using the lifting framework. The nonlinearity comes from adaptively choosing between a class of linear predictors within the lifting framework. We also describe how earlier families of nonlinear filter banks can be extended through the use of prediction functions operating on a causal neighborhood of pixels. Preliminary compression results for model and real-world images demonstrate the promise of our techniques.engcompressionDSP for CommunicationsJournal articlecompressionhttp://dx.doi.org/10.1109/TIP.2003.817237
