 Directional Filter bank
 A Directional Filter Bank (DFB) is an array
of selective filters designed to allow
directional information to be extracted in
the analysis section and reconstructed in
the synthesis section.
 DFB decomposes the input signal into
decimated directional sub-bands.
 Each sub-band is directionally orthogonal
to others.
 The sum of all the pixels in the sub-bands
equals to the total number of pixels in the
original image.
