Time varying wavelet transform for image coding

Wavelet with longer support length is used in the smooth area of image to integrate energy effectively, while wavelet with shorter support length is used in the vicinity of edges. These two sets of wavelet transform switch automatically according to the image. The main problem for the design of time-varying filter is how to reconstruct exactly the signal during the transition period. An exact reconstruction method between any two sets of the widely used biorthogonal wavelet bases was proposed in this paper. And even more, by feedback of quantized wavelet coefficients, side information is embedded in the coding bit stream.
