Abstract
An apparatus for decompressing an image that has been compressed by an image compression system in which the image is first repetitively filtered in one direction to produce a series of sub-images which are then repetitively filtered in a second direction to produce an image representation having a plurality of sub-images in which each sub-image has a different spatial frequency content is disclosed. The decompression apparatus reverses the filtering process to recover the original image.
