      Lenses

      A lens is a custom view of Connexions content. You can think of it as a fancy kind of list that will let you see Connexions through the eyes of organizations and people you trust.

      What is in a lens?

      Lens makers point to Connexions materials (modules and collections), creating a guide that includes their own comments and descriptive tags about the content.

      Who can create a lens?

      Any individual Connexions member, a community, or a respected organization.

M-Channel Filter Banks

Module by: Douglas L. Jones

The theory of M-band QMFBs and PRFBs has been investigated recently. Some results are available.

Tree-structured filter banks

Once we have a two-band PRFB, we can continue to split the subbands with similar systems! (Figure 1)

Figure 1 (imag001.png)
Thus we can recursively decompose a signal into 2p 2 p bands, each sampled at 2p 2 p th the rate of the original signal, and reconstruct exactly! Due to the tree structure, this can be quite efficient, and in fact close to the efficiency of an FFT filter bank, which does not have perfect reconstruction.

Wavelet decomposition

We need not split both the upper-frequency and lower-frequency bands identically. (Figure 2)

This is good for image coding, because the energy tends to be distributed such that after a wavelet decomposition, each band has roughly equal energy.
