Wavelet, Subband and Block Transforms in Communications and Multimedia

Wavelet and subband transforms have been of great interest in the fields of — gineering and applied mathematics. The theories of these powerful signal p— cessing tools have matured and many applications utilizing them are emerging in different disciplines. This book, comprised of eleven chapter contributions from prominent researchers in the field, focuses on communications and mul— media applications of wavelet and subband transforms. The first six chapters of this book deal with a variety...
