Multiwavelets denoising using neighboring coefficients

Multiwavelets give better results than single wavelets for signal denoising. We study multiwavelet thresholding by incorporating neighboring coefficients. Experimental results show that this approach is better than the conventional approach, which only uses the term-by-term multiwavelet denoising. Also, it outperforms neighbor single wavelet denoising for some standard test signals and real-life images. This is an extension to Cai and Silverman´s (see Sankhya: Ind. J. Stat. B, pt.2, vol.63, p.127-148, 2001) work.
