This paper proposes a method to realize the lifting scheme of tight frame wavelet filters. As for 4-channel tight frame wavelet filter, the tight frame transforms＇ matrix is 2×4, but the lifting scheme transforms＇ matrix must be 4×4. And in the case of 3-channel tight frame wavelet filter, the transforms＇ matrix is 2×3, but the lifting scheme transforms＇ matrix must be 3×3. In order to solve this problem, we introduce two concepts： transferred polyphase matrix for 4-channel filters and transferred unitary matrix for 3-channel filters. The transferred polyphase matrix is symmetric/antisymmetric. Thus, we use this advantage to realize the lifting scheme.
The concept of paraunitary two-scale similarity transform （PTST） is introduced. We discuss the property of PTST, and prove that PTST preserves the orthogonal, approximation order and smoothness of the given orthogonal multiscaling functions. What is more, by applying PTST, we present an algorithm of constructing high order balanced multiscaling functions by balancing the already existing orthogonal nonbalanced multiscaling functions. The corresponding transform matrix is given explicitly. In addition, we also investigate the symmetry of the balanced multiscaling functions. Finally, construction examples are given.
