In this paper, we present an efficient implementaand the resulting spatial domain signal sequence is tion of two-dimensional SSB analysis/synthesis system multiplied by a synthesis window. The output response which is capable of transmitting good quality images at high compression rates [1-3]. The proposed system consists of is simply overlapped and added to the accumulator shift two distinct subsystems: (1) an analysis/synthesis filter register of previously accumulated signal segments [1-3]. which splits the signal (or image) into narrow bands, and Again, a straightforward expression for the requirements (2) a coder which encodes each subband signal for the of the analysis/synthesis system can be designed so that purpose of transmission. The first part subsystem is based the signal x(m, n) is properly reconstructed. The signal on a 2-D separable single-sideband analysis/synthesis sysx(m, n) can be reconstructed if the adjacent pairs of 2-D tem in a spatial domain which is an extension from the analysis/synthesis window responses overlap and add in 1-D case [1].

A basic framework for a 2-D in the analysis will be cancelled during the synthesis. analysis/synthesis filter system is shown in Fig. 1. A 2-D

In the design of analysis/synthesis systems, it is desired signal, such as an image, is first split into subimages, and that the overall sampling rate at the output of the analysis bank be equal to that of the input signal. There are three sampling rates that can be applied to the system: (1) criti-
