Lecture 9. Wavelet Transform: CS589-04 Digital Image Processing

The document discusses the wavelet transform, which is a tool that decomposes data into different frequency components at different resolutions. This allows wavelet transforms to provide both frequency and temporal information, unlike the Fourier transform which only provides frequency information. The wavelet transform uses small wave-like functions called wavelets at varying scales and positions to analyze signals. It provides localized time-frequency analysis, while the Fourier transform loses the time coordinate. The discrete wavelet transform behaves like a filter bank that decomposes signals into an approximation and details at different scales.

Lecture 9. Wavelet Transform


Spring 2008
New Mexico Tech

Wavelet Definition
The wavelet transform is a tool that cuts up data, functions
or operators into different frequency components, and then
studies each component with a resolution matched to its
scale
Dr. Ingrid Daubechies, Lucent, Princeton U.

Fourier vs. Wavelet

FFT, basis functions: sinusoids

Wavelet transforms: small waves, called wavelet

FFT can only offer frequency information

Wavelet: frequency + temporal information

Fourier analysis doesnt work well on discontinuous,


bursty data
music, video, power, earthquakes,

Fourier vs. Wavelet

Fourier
Loses time (location) coordinate completely
Analyses the whole signal
Short pieces lose frequency meaning

Wavelets
Localized time-frequency analysis
Short signal pieces also have significance
Scale = Frequency band

Wavelet Transform

Scale and shift original waveform

Compare to a wavelet

Assign a coefficient of similarity

Scaling-- value of stretch

Scaling a wavelet simply means stretching (or


compressing) it.
f(t) = sin(t)

scale factor1

Scaling-- value of stretch

Scaling a wavelet simply means stretching (or


compressing) it.
f(t) = sin(2t)
scale factor 2

Scaling-- value of stretch

Scaling a wavelet simply means stretching (or


compressing) it.
f(t) = sin(3t)
scale factor 3

More on scaling

It lets you either narrow down the frequency band of interest, or


determine the frequency content in a narrower time interval

Scaling = frequency band

Good for non-stationary data

Scale is (sort of) like frequency

The scale factor works exactly the same with wavelets.


The smaller the scale factor, the more "compressed"
the wavelet.

Shifting
Shifting a wavelet simply means delaying (or hastening) its
onset. Mathematically, delaying a function f(t) by k is
represented by f(t-k)

Five Easy Steps to a Continuous Wavelet


Transform
1. Take a wavelet and compare it to a section at the start of
the original signal.
2. Calculate a correlation coefficient c

Five Easy Steps to a Continuous Wavelet


Transform
3. Shift the wavelet to the right and repeat steps 1 and 2 until you've
covered the whole signal.

4. Scale (stretch) the wavelet and repeat steps 1 through 3.

5. Repeat steps 1 through 4 for all scales.
