Advanced Wavelet Transform for Image Processing—A Survey

Over the last few years, the wavelet transform has played a significant role in the field of multiresolution image analysis. The shortcomings of the wavelet transform laid the foundation of many advanced wavelets. This review paper brings together ten advanced wavelets on a common platform to discuss their importance, concept, architecture, merits and demerits in various fields of image processing. The relationships among the different advanced wavelets are also illustrated here. A comparison table serves as a catalog to know the recent trends and applications of the advanced wavelets.
