 The Wavelet Transform

• Wavelet transforms are mathematical tools for analyzing data

where features vary features can be frequencies varying over time,
over different scales. For signals, transients, or slowly varying trends.
• A wavelet transform is the representation of a function by wavelets. 
History of Wavelet
• It was introduced by engineers not by mathematicians.
• It was introduced by some geophysical engineer Jean Morlet and Alex Grossmaan
(physicist) in 1982.
• In 1982, they introduced the idea to described complex engineering process.
• In 1985, yeus meyer (mathematician) gave the relationship b/w wavelet and
Morlet algorithm.
• In 1988, Daubechies (Belgium mathematician) introduced an orthonormal wavelet
with prescribed degree of smoothness.
• Some work had done in this area by cohen in 1992 in bi-orthogonal wavelet.

 APPLICATIONS
1.Signal processing: Wavelet transforms are used for signal denoising, compression, and
feature extraction. They are especially useful for analyzing non-stationary signals.
2.Image processing: Wavelet transforms are used for image denoising, compression, and
enhancement. They are especially useful for analyzing images with sharp edges or textures.
3.Data compression: Wavelet transforms can be used for lossless and lossy compression of
data. They are especially effective for compressing data with sparsity or self-similarity.
4.Pattern recognition: Wavelet transforms can be used for feature extraction in pattern
recognition tasks. They are especially useful for analyzing time-frequency features of
signals.
5.Financial analysis: Wavelet transforms can be used for analyzing financial time series
data. They are especially useful for identifying trends and cycles in the data.
