For non-reversible systems this value corresponds to ceil(log2(D')), /// where D' is the quantization step size normalized to data of a dynamic /// range of 1. The true quantization step size is (2^R)*D', where R is /// ceil(log2(dr)), where 'dr' is the dynamic range of the subband samples, /// in the corresponding subband. /// ///
For reversible systems the exponent value in 'exp' is used to /// determine the number of magnitude bits in the quantized /// coefficients. It is, in fact, the dynamic range of the subband data. /// ///
In general the index of the first subband in a resolution level is /// not 0. The exponents appear, within each resolution level, at their /// subband index, and not in the subband order starting from 0. For /// instance, resolution level 3, the first subband has the index 16, then /// the exponent of the subband is exp[3][16], not exp[3][0]. /// ///
The true step size D is obtained as follows: D=(2^R)*D', where /// 'R=ceil(log2(dr))' and 'dr' is the dynamic range of the subband /// samples, in the corresponding subband. /// ///
This value is 'null' for reversible systems (i.e. there is no true /// quantization, 'D' is always 1). /// ///
In general the index of the first subband in a resolution level is /// not 0. The steps appear, within each resolution level, at their subband /// index, and not in the subband order starting from 0. For instance, if /// resolution level 3, the first subband has the index 16, then the step /// of the subband is nStep[3][16], not nStep[3][0]. /// ///
