We consider the application of the polyharmonic subdivision wavelets (of Daubechies type) to Image Processing, in particular to Astronomical Images. The results show an essential advantage over some standard multivariate wavelets and a potential for better compression.

We want to approximate the mxn image A from scanned astronomical photographic plates (from the Sofia Sky Archive Data Center) by using far fewer entries than in the original matrix. By using rank of a matrix, k we remove the redundant information or noise and use as Wiener filter, when rank k<m or k<n. With this approximation more than 98% compression ration of image of astronomical plate without that image details, is obtained. The SVD of images from scanned photographic plates (SPP) is considered and its possible image compression.
