Wavelet discrete

There are various kinds of wavelets, including continuous wavelets, discrete orthogonal wavelets, spline wavelets, local cosines, and wavelet packets. Different applications...

To ensure that no information is lost on Fio)) as the dilation is discretized, the scale factors 2 " for m g Z must cover the whole frequency axis. This can be accomplished by requiring the wavelets to satisfy the following... 

As a result of the dyadic discretization in dilation and translation, the members of the wavelet family are given by... 

For practical purposes, the wavelet decomposition can only be applied to a finite record of discrete-time signals. If N is the number of samples in the record, and t = 1, then the maximum value of the translation parameter can be found from Eq. (12), by setting u=N, and is equal to k = N/2". Consequently, the decomposition and reconstruction relations [Eqs. (5b), (11a), (6b)] take the following form ... 

Let us now see how the theory of the wavelet-based decomposition and reconstruction of discrete-time functions can be converted into an efficient numerical algorithm for the multiscale analysis of signals. From Eq. (6b) it is easy to see that, given a discrete-time signal, FqU) we have... 

Unfortunately, the requirements for translational invariance of the wavelet decomposition are difficult to satisfy. Consequently, for either discretization scheme, comparison of the wavelet coefficients for two signals may mislead us into thinking that the two trends are different, when in fact one is simply a translation of the other. 

Step 1. Generate the finite, discrete dyadic wavelet transform of data using Mallat and Zhong s (1992) cubic spline wavelet (Fig. 8c). 

The discrete wavelet transform can be represented in a vector-matrix notation...

Having a closer look at the pyramid algorithm in Fig. 40.43, we observe that it sequentially analyses the approximation coefficients. When we do analyze the detail coefficients in the same way as the approximations, a second branch of decompositions is opened. This generalization of the discrete wavelet transform is called the wavelet packet transform (WPT). Further explanation of the wavelet packet transform and its comparison with the DWT can be found in [19] and [21]. The final results of the DWT applied on the 16 data points are presented in Fig. 40.44. The difference with the FT is very well demonstrated in Fig. 40.45 where we see that wavelet describes the locally fast fluctuations in the signal and wavelet a the slow fluctuations. An obvious application of WT is to denoise spectra. By replacing specific WT coefficients by zero, we can selectively remove... 

In brief, wavelets are a family of functions of constant shape that are localized in both time and frequency. A family of discrete dyadic wavelets is represented as...

Just as the discrete Fourier transform generates discrete frequencies from sampled data, the discrete wavelet transform (often abbreviated as DWT) uses a discrete sequence of scales aj for j < 0 with a = 21/v, where v is an integer, called the number of voices in the octave. The wavelet support — where the wavelet function is nonzero — is assumed to be -/<72, /<72. For a signal of size N and I < aJ < NIK, a discrete wavelet / is defined by sampling the scale at a] and time (for scale 1) at its integer values, that is...

FIGURE 10.23 The cascade of wavelet coefficient vectors output from the wavelet tree filter banks defining the discrete wavelet transform in Figure 10.22. A db-7 mother wavelet was used for the decomposition of the noisy signal in Figure 10.1. 

Figure 10.23 demonstrates one aspect of discrete wavelet transforms that shows similarity to discrete Fourier transforms. Typically, for an. V-point observed signal, the points available to decomposition to approximation and detail representations decrease by (about) a factor of 2 for each increase in scale. As the scale increases, the number of points in the wavelet approximation component decreases until, at very high scales, there is a single point. Also, like a Fourier transform, it is possible to reconstruct the observed signal by performing an inverse wavelet transform,... 

The evaluation of the measurements, the correlation between the medium components and the various ranges of the 2D-fluorescence spectrum was performed by Principal Component Analysis (PCA), Self Organized Map (SOM) and Discrete Wavelet Transformation (DWT), respectively. Back Propagation Network (BPN) was used for the estimation of the process variables [62]. By means of the SOM the courses of several process variables and the CPC concentration were determined. 

The advantage of this transform is that its kernel f(s, x, x) is left unspecified. The discrete wavelet transform was invented by Haar125, used by petroleum geologists to extract meaningful data from noisy seismograms, and later utilized in JPEG2000 pixel compression.
