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] |
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 ...
