Abstract: | We address the best basis problem--or, more generally, the best representation problem: Given a signal, a dictionary of representations, and an additive cost function, the aim is to select the representation from the dictionary which minimizes the cost for the given signal. We develop a new framework of multitree dictionaries, which includes some previously proposed dictionaries as special cases. We show how to efficiently find the best representation in a multitree dictionary using a recursive tree-pruning algorithm. We illustrate our framework through several examples, including a novel block image coder, which significantly outperforms both the standard JPEG and quadtree-based methods and is comparable to embedded coders such as JPEG2000 and SPIHT. |
