Abstract

The achievement of traditional image resolution reduction is primarily through image resampling. Multi-band wavelet is a newly developed branch of wavelet analysis, and its orthogonality, compact support and smoothness are better than the binary wavelet. In this paper we firstly described the demand of quantitative reduction of image resolution and the traditional methods on image resolution reduction. Then we used multi-band wavelet to reduce image resolution quantitatively based on multi-resolution time frequency characteristics. We did the image resolution reduction experiment through the 3-band wavelet transformation and extracted the low-frequency information of the 3-band wavelet as the resulting image that achieved the image resolution reduction. Lastly, compared with the results of common image re-sampling methods, such as the nearest method, bilinear interpolation method and derivative neighborhood averaging method qualitatively and quantitatively, we found that multi-band wavelet has obvious advantages in image resolution reduction.
