Wavelet transform continuous

Historically, the first wavelet function is attributed to Haar [95] when he replaced the sinusoidal basis functions of FT with an orthonormal function, V (f), given as.

By compressing this function in time, Morlet was able to obtain a higher frequency resolution and spread it out to obtain a lower frequency resolution. To localize time, he shifted these waves in time. He called his transform the wavelets of constant shape and today, after a substantial number of studies in its properties, the transform is simply referred to as the Wavelet transform. The Morlet wavelet is defined by two parameters the amount of compression, called the scale, and the location in time. 

There are several families of wavelets, proposed by different authors. Those developed by Daubechies [46] are extensively used in engineering applications. Wavelets from these families are orthogonal and compactly supported, they possess different degrees of smoothness and have the maximum number of vanishing moments for a given smoothness. In particular, a function f t) has e vanishing moments if 

These properties are desirable when representing signals through a wavelet series. In addition [44],

Wavelets and the wavelet transformation refer the representation of a spectral data set in terms of a finite spectral range or a rapidly decaying oscillating waveform. This waveform is scaled and translated to match the original spectmm. Wavelet transformation may be considered to calculate the time-frequency representation, related to the subject of harmonic analysis. The projection of a spectmm on a single wavelet or a series of wavelets reduces the dimensionality of the data set. Wavelet transforms are broadly divided into three classes, the continuous wavelet transform, the discrete wavelet transform and multiresolution-based wavelet transforms. Each class has advantages and disadvantages in terms of the wanted information. 

This vast spectral bandwidth illustrates the necessity of a reliable scale and time resolved decomposition of available observations to separate and describe single processes as individual parts of the whole system. Often, the comlex interplay between climate subsystems plays an essential role and the understanding of coupling mechanisms is of crucial importance for the study and prediction of at first sight independent phenomena. Continuous wavelet transformation (CWT) is the prototypic instrument to address these tasks As an important application, it transforms time series to the time/scale domain for estimating the linear non-stationary spectral properties of the underlying process. 

Before introducing the continuous wavelet transform, we first recall some details about Fourier transforms. Let f(t) represent a signal from the L (R)... 

The continuous wavelet transform convolves the function f(t) with translated and dilated versions of a single basis function vj/ft). The basis function v /(t) is often called a mother wavelet. The various translated and dilated versions of the mother wavelet are called children wavelets. The children wavelets have the form j/((t - b)/a), where a is the dilation parameter which squeezes or stretches the window. 

A desirable property of any transform is to be able to revert from the transformed function into the original function. An inverse transform exists for the continuous wavelet transform. The original function can be reconstructed using... 

Fig. 6 The continuous wavelet transform of f(tj obtains localised frequency information of the function for varying constant time intervals.

The main difference between the continuous wavelet transform and the discrete wavelet transform (of continuous functions) is that the wavelet is stretched or dilated by 2 j for some integer), and translated by 2 k for some integer k. For example if j = 2, the children wavelets will be dilated by and translated by k. 

As stated previously, with most applications in analytical chemistry and chemometrics, the data we wish to transform are not continuous and infinite in size but discrete and finite. We cannot simply discretise the continuous wavelet transform equations to provide us with the lattice decomposition and reconstruction equations. Furthermore it is not possible to define a MRA for discrete data. One approach taken is similar to that of the continuous Fourier transform and its associated discrete Fourier series and discrete Fourier transform. That is, we can define a discrete wavelet series by using the fact that discrete data can be viewed as a sequence of weights of a set of continuous scaling functions. This can then be extended to defining a discrete wavelet transform (over a finite interval) by equating it to one period of the data length and generating a discrete wavelet series by its infinite periodic extension. This can be conveniently done in a matrix framework.
