摘要
In this paper, we present a characterization of MRA biorthogonal wavelet filters with full frequency supports. Based on this characterization, it is established that wavelet ramp filters are biorthogonal wavelets if the original wavelets are sufficiently regular. An efficient subband coding algorithm is developed for wavelet filtering in filtered backprojection, which is the most popular method in computed tomography (CT). Computer simulation suggests that this wavelet filtering process is a useful tool for improving image quality and reducing computational time in local CT reconstruction. (C) 1999 Academic Press.
