This paper explores an application of the sigmoidal function—the complementary integral Gaussian error function (erfc(.))—in two-dimensional (2D) uniform and nonuniform filter bank synthesis. The complementary integral Gaussian error function graph represents a smooth low-pass filter magnitude response. A parameter changes the function slope and increases the magnitude response selectivity. The theory is applied to 2D band-pass filter banks. Exact expressions for the magnitude response parameters are determined. As a result, 2D uniform and nonuniform filter banks with very high selectivity and exact shapes are obtained. Three synthesis examples of 2D filter banks with circular and fan-shaped magnitude responses are provided. The theoretical exposition is supplemented with two examples of image analysis using 2D uniform and nonuniform filter banks. A procedure to reduce the computations in image analysis is proposed. A comparison of filter synthesis between Parks–McLellan’s 2D filters and the erfc(.) demonstrates the significantly shorter calculation time of the proposed method.
