Abstract

A technique for the sub-band decomposition and reconstruction of video signals is disclosed. In an illustrative embodiment of the present invention, each field of a video signal is decomposed into sub-bands utilizing a polyphase filter bank unit including an infinite impulse response allpass filter with coefficients that are powers of two. To reconstruct the original image, an FIR is utilized which approximates an IIR allpass filter This eliminates the need for a full field memory in the reconstruction process.
