Ternary wavelets and their applications to signal compression
We introduce ternary wavelets, based on an interpolating 4-point C^2 ternary stationary subdivision scheme, for compressing fractal-like signals. These wavelets are tightly squeezed and therefore they are more suitable for compressing fractal-like signals. The error in compressing fractal-like signals by ternary wavelets is at most half of that given by four-point wavelets (Wei and Chen, 2002). However, for compressing regular signals we further classify ternary wavelets into 'odd ternary' and 'even...
