Implementation of 2-D denominator-separable digital filters using first-order all-pass sections

It is established that denominator-separable transfer functions which characterize an important subclass of 2-D filters can be expressed as a linear combination of first-order (1-D or 2-D separable) all-pass transfer functions with real or complex coefficients. This type of expansion is referred to as all-pass expansion of the corresponding transfer function. Based on this all-pass expansion, we derive some efficient structures for the realization of 2-D denominator-separable filters using all-pass sections.On leave from S.V.
