In this book, we introduce an important technique of multimedia applications, Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT), which not only is the key algorithm of signal processing but has also led to revolutions in image and video coding algorithms. This book provides a comprehensive analysis and discussion of DWT and its applications, including the important material and the newest development of wavelet processing. We discuss DWT from its theories, algorithms, to related architectures. The architecture designs of DWT in JPEG 2000 are given as a practical example, and the latest development of DWT, Motion-Compensated Temporal Filtering (MCTF), is also explored in this book. We believe it is an important reference book for related research or courses on DWT.
