Abstract

We examine the central issues of invertibility, stability, artifacts, and frequency-domain characteristics in the construction of non-linear analogs of the wavelet transform. The lifting framework for wavelet construction motivates our analysis and provides new insight into the problem. We describe a new type of non-linearity for use in constructing non-linear transforms: a set of linear predictors that are chosen adaptively using a non-linear selection function. We also describe how earlier families of non-linear filter banks can be extended through the use of prediction functions operating on a causal neighborhood. We present preliminary results for a synthetic test image.
