Wavelet
A wavelet is a wave-like oscillation with an amplitude that begins at zero, increases or decreases, and then returns to zero one or more times. Wavelets are termed a "brief oscillation". A taxonomy of wavelets has been established, based on the number and direction of its pulses. Wavelets are imbued with specific properties that make them useful for signal processing. For example, a wavelet could be created to have a frequency of Middle C and a short duration of roughly one tenth of a second. If this wavelet were to be convolved with a signal created from the recording of a melody, then the resulting signal would be useful for determining when the Middle C note appeared in the song. Mathematically, a wavelet correlates with a signal if a portion of the signal is similar. Correlation is at the core of many practical wavelet applications. As a mathematical tool, wavelets can be used to extract information from many different kinds of data, including but not limited to au ...

Stationary Wavelet Transform
The Stationary wavelet transform (SWT) is a wavelet transform algorithm designed to overcome the lack of translation-invariance of the discrete wavelet transform (DWT). Translation-invariance is achieved by removing the downsamplers and upsamplers in the DWT and upsampling the filter coefficients by a factor of 2^ in the jth level of the algorithm. The SWT is an inherently redundant scheme as the output of each level of SWT contains the same number of samples as the input – so for a decomposition of N levels there is a redundancy of N in the wavelet coefficients. This algorithm is more famously known as "''algorithme à trous''" in French (word ''trous'' means holes in English) which refers to inserting zeros in the filters. It was introduced by Holschneider et al. Implementation The following block diagram depicts the digital implementation of SWT. In the above diagram, filters in each level are up-sampled versions of the previous (see figure below). KIT Applications A ...

Noiselet
Noiselets are functions which gives the worst case behavior for the Haar wavelet packet analysis. In other words, noiselets are totally incompressible by the Haar wavelet packet analysis.R. Coifman, F. Geshwind, and Y. Meyer, Noiselets, Applied and Computational Harmonic Analysis, 10 (2001), pp. 27–44. . Like the canonical and Fourier bases, which have an incoherent property, noiselets are perfectly incoherent with the Haar basis. In addition, they have a fast algorithm for implementation, making them useful as a sampling basis for signals that are sparse in the Haar domain. Definition The mother bases function \chi(x) is defined as: \chi(x)= \begin 1 & x\in[0,1) \\ 0 & \text \end The family of noislets is constructed recursively as follows: \begin f_1(x) &= \chi(x)\\ f_(x) &= (1-i)f_n(2x)+(1+i)f_n(2x-1)\\ f_(x) &= (1+i)f_n(2x)+(1-i)f_n(2x-1) \end Property of fn * \ is an orthogonal basis for V_N , where V_N is the space of all possible approximations at the r ...

Curvelet
Curvelets are a non- adaptive technique for multi-scale object representation. Being an extension of the wavelet concept, they are becoming popular in similar fields, namely in image processing and scientific computing. Wavelets generalize the Fourier transform by using a basis that represents both location and spatial frequency. For 2D or 3D signals, directional wavelet transforms go further, by using basis functions that are also localized in ''orientation''. A curvelet transform differs from other directional wavelet transforms in that the degree of localisation in orientation varies with scale. In particular, fine-scale basis functions are long ridges; the shape of the basis functions at scale ''j'' is 2^ by 2^ so the fine-scale bases are skinny ridges with a precisely determined orientation. Curvelets are an appropriate basis for representing images (or other functions) which are smooth apart from singularities along smooth curves, ''where the curves have bounded curvature'', ...

Contourlet
Contourlets form a multiresolution directional tight Frame of a vector space, frame designed to efficiently approximate images made of smooth regions separated by smooth boundaries. The contourlet transform has a fast implementation based on a Laplacian pyramid decomposition followed by directional filterbanks applied on each bandpass subband. Contourlet transform Introduction and motivation In the field of geometrical image transforms, there are many 1-D transforms designed for detecting or capturing the geometry of image information, such as the Fourier transform, Fourier and wavelet transform. However, the ability of 1-D transform processing of the intrinsic geometrical structures, such as smoothness of curves, is limited in one direction, then more powerful representations are required in higher dimensions. The contourlet transform which was proposed by Do and Vetterli in 2002, is a new two-dimensional transform method for image representations. The contourlet transform has pro ...

Chirplet Transform
In signal processing, the chirplet transform is an inner product of an input signal with a family of analysis primitives called chirplets.S. Mann and S. Haykin,The Chirplet transform: A generalization of Gabor's logon transform, ''Proc. Vision Interface 1991'', 205–212 (3–7 June 1991).D. Mihovilovic and R. N. Bracewell, "Adaptive chirplet representation of signals in the time–frequency plane," ''Electronics Letters'' 27 (13), 1159–1161 (20 June 1991). Similar to the wavelet transform, chirplets are usually generated from (or can be expressed as being from) a single ''mother chirplet'' (analogous to the so-called ''mother wavelet'' of wavelet theory). Definitions The term ''chirplet transform'' was coined by Steve Mann, as the title of the first published paper on chirplets. The term ''chirplet'' itself (apart from chirplet transform) was also used by Steve Mann, Domingo Mihovilovic, and Ronald Bracewell to describe a windowed portion of a chirp function. In Ma ...

Bandelet (computer Science)
Bandelets are an orthonormal basis that is adapted to geometric boundaries. Bandelets can be interpreted as a warped wavelet basis. The motivation behind bandelets is to perform a transform on functions defined as smooth functions on smoothly bounded domains. As bandelet construction utilizes wavelets, many of the results follow. Similar approaches to take account of geometric structure were taken for contourlets and curvelet Curvelets are a non-adaptive technique for multi-scale object representation. Being an extension of the wavelet concept, they are becoming popular in similar fields, namely in image processing and scientific computing. Wavelets generalize the Fou ...s.

Dual-tree Complex Wavelet Transform
The complex wavelet transform (CWT) is a complex-valued extension to the standard discrete wavelet transform (DWT). It is a two-dimensional wavelet transform which provides multiresolution, sparse representation, and useful characterization of the structure of an image. Further, it purveys a high degree of shift-invariance in its magnitude, which was investigated in. However, a drawback to this transform is that it exhibits 2^ (where d is the dimension of the signal being transformed) redundancy compared to a separable (DWT). The use of complex wavelets in image processing was originally set up in 1995 by J.M. Lina and L. Gagnoin the framework of the Daubechies orthogonal filters bank It was then generalized in 1997 by Nick Kingsbury, Prof. Nick Kingsbury of Cambridge University. In the area of computer vision, by exploiting the concept of visual contexts, one can quickly focus on candidate regions, where objects of interest may be found, and then compute additional features thr ...

Second Generation Wavelet Transform
{{Short description, Type of wavelet transform In signal processing, the second-generation wavelet transform (SGWT) is a wavelet transform where the filters (or even the represented wavelets) are not designed explicitly, but the transform consists of the application of the Lifting scheme. Actually, the sequence of lifting steps could be converted to a regular discrete wavelet transform, but this is unnecessary because both design and application is made via the lifting scheme. This means that they are not designed in the frequency domain, as they are usually in the ''classical'' (so to speak ''first generation'') transforms such as the DWT and CWT). The idea of moving away from the Fourier domain was introduced independently by David Donoho and Harten in the early 1990s. Calculating transform The input signal f is split into odd \gamma _1 and even \lambda _1 samples using shifting and downsampling. The detail coefficients \gamma _2 are then interpolated using the values of \ ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Wavelet Packet Decomposition
Originally known as optimal subband tree structuring (SB-TS), also called wavelet packet decomposition (WPD) (sometimes known as just wavelet packets or subband tree), is a wavelet transform where the discrete-time (sampled) signal is passed through more filters than the discrete wavelet transform (DWT). Introduction In the DWT, each level is calculated by passing only the previous wavelet approximation coefficients (''cAj'') through discrete-time low- and high-pass quadrature mirror filters. However, in the WPD, both the detail (''cDj'' (in the 1-D case), ''cHj'', ''cVj'', ''cDj'' (in the 2-D case)) and approximation coefficients are decomposed to create the full binary tree.Daubechies, I. (1992), Ten lectures on wavelets, SIAM. For ''n'' levels of decomposition the WPD produces 2''n'' different sets of coefficients (or nodes) as opposed to sets for the DWT. However, due to the downsampling process the overall number of coefficients is still the same and there is no redundanc ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
