Hexagonal tight frame filter banks with idealized high-pass filters (Q2391078)

The author deals with the construction of hexagonal tight wavelet frame filter banks which contain three idealized high-pass filters. These high-pass filters are suitable spatial shifts and frequency modulations of the associated low-pass filter. For an idealized low-pass filter, these three associated high-pass filters separate high frequency components of a hexagonal image in three different directions in the frequency domain. It is proved that an idealized tight frame, a frame generated by a tight frame filter bank containing the idealized high-pass filters, has at least seven frame generators. Several examples with scaling function being the Courant element \(B_{111}\) or the box spline \(B_{222}\) are discussed.
