Are the Wavelet Transforms the Best Filter Banks for Image Compression?

Maximum regular wavelet filter banks have received much attention in the literature, and it is a general conception that they enjoy some type of optimality for image coding purposes. To investigate this claim, this article focuses on one particular biorthogonal wavelet filter bank, namely, the 2-cha...
