An image coding apparatus and method are disclosed. The method and apparatus are applicable to coding any array of arbitrary dimension. The apparatus utilizes FIR filters which generate three or more sets of coefficients from linear arrays generated from the array being coded. Each set of coefficients represents spatial frequency information of different frequencies. The filters utilize coefficient sets which are preferrably orthogonal.

Image coding apparatus and method utilizing separable transformations

A method for coding an image or other two-dimensional data array to provide a sequence of images having differing spatial frequency content is disclosed. The method generates the output images by taking weighted sums of the pixels in the input image. The weights are sets of two-dimensional irreducible scaling and wavelet coefficients.
