qorthwavf

Kingsbury Q-shift filters

Since R2020a

Description

example

[LoDa,LoDb,HiDa,HiDb,LoRa,LoRb,HiRa,HiRb] = qorthwavf(num) returns the Kingsbury Q-shift filters for the Q-shift complex dual-tree transform. The integer num refers to the number of nonzero coefficients (taps) in the filter. Valid options for num are 6, 10, 14, 16, and 18. All filters are of even lengths and the tree B filters are the time reverse of the tree A filters.

Examples

Obtain the Q-shift filters for the case with 10 nonzero coefficients.

[LoDa,LoDb,HiDa,HiDb,LoRa,LoRb,HiRa,HiRb] = qorthwavf(10);

Use the dwtfilterbank function and create two discrete wavelet transform filter banks. Use the tree A analysis filters in the first filter bank, and the tree B analysis filters in the second filter bank.

fbTreeA = dwtfilterbank('Wavelet','Custom',...
    'CustomScalingFilter',LoDa,...
    'CustomWaveletFilter',HiDa);
fbTreeB = dwtfilterbank('Wavelet','Custom',...
    'CustomScalingFilter',LoDb,...
    'CustomWaveletFilter',HiDb);

Plot the coarsest-scale wavelets of each filter bank.

[psiA,t] = wavelets(fbTreeA);
[psiB,~] = wavelets(fbTreeB);
plot(t,psiA(end,:))
hold on
plot(t,psiB(end,:))
grid on
hold off

Figure contains an axes object. The axes object contains 2 objects of type line. These objects represent Tree A, Tree B.

Confirm both filter banks are orthogonal.
