A new approach to the multiresolution time-domain (MRTD) algorithm is presented in this paper by introducing a field expansion in terms of biorthogonal scaling and wavelet functions. Particular focus is placed on the Cohen–Daubechies–Feauveau (CDF) biorthogonal-wavelet class, although the methodology is appropriate for general biorthogonal wavelets. The computational efficiency and numerical di...

This paper proposes a novel oblivious image watermarking technique for the copyright protection and authentication of still images, based on Discrete Multiwavelet Transform (DMWT) and Quantization Index Modulus Modulation (QIMM). The multiwavelet coefficients of an image are quantized using QIMM and the coefficients are modified according to the binary watermark logo. Watermark extraction does ...

Orthogonal wavelet bases have been developed using multiple mother wavelet functions. Applying the discrete multiwavelet transform requires the input data to be preprocessed to obtain a more economical decomposition. Four characteristics of a preprocessing method are presented: length, degree, orthogonality and frequency response. A minimal preelter is deened to have length one and highest atta...

A biorthogonal wavelet is derived from a pair of biorthogonal refinable functions using the standard technique in multiresolution analysis. In this paper, we introduce the concept of projectable refinable functions and demonstrate that many multivariate refinable functions are projectable; that is, they essentially carry the tensor product (separable) structure though themselves may be non-tens...

In this paper we use the lifting scheme to construct biorthogonal spline wavelet bases on regularly refined non-uniform grids. The wavelets have at least one vanishing moment and on each resolution level they form an L2 Riesz basis. Furthermore we are interested in determining the exact range of Sobolev exponents for which the complete multilevel system forms a Riesz basis. Hereto we need to ex...

Efficient image watermarking techniques have been developed in the wavelet domain. Similar to other wavelet-based image processing, the choice of wavelet filters generally affects the performance of a wavelet-based watermarking system. In this paper, we evaluate the performance of a set of biorthogonal integer wavelets under a multiresolution-watermarking framework. Biorthogonal integer wavelet...

A recent paper reported highly accurate density functional theory results for atomization energies and dipole moments using a multiwavelet-based method and compared the results with those obtained by standard Gaussian basis sets of the aug-cc-pVXZ type. Typical errors with the large aug-cc-pV5Z basis set were in the 0.2 kcal/mol range with outliers displaying errors of ∼2 kcal/mol, and these re...

The orthonormal basis generated by a wavelet of L 2 (R) has poor frequency localization. To overcome this disadvantage Coifman, Meyer, and Wickerhauser constructed wavelet packets. We extend this concept to the higher dimensions where we consider arbitrary dilation matrices. The resulting basis of L 2 (R d) is called the multiwavelet packet basis. The concept of wavelet frame packet is also gen...
