Multiwavelets are new addition to the body of wavelet theory. In recent years, it has been a new research spot. There are many types of symmetric-antisymmetric orthonormal multiwavelets such as CL and Sa4 multiwavelets. They perfectly combine smoothness, short support, orthogonality, symmetry, ect. For the intense competition in space technology, the transmission and storage inform-ation of infrared images is very huge, the infrared images compression becomes very important. So in this paper, multiwavelet-based infrared image compression technology is researched. Experimental result shows that this algorithm is efficient in infrared image compression domain and superior to traditional methods.
