Foil 15 Introduction to Wavelets (1)

From CPS600 Compression Presentation CPS600 Spring 1995 -- March 1995. by Roman Markowski and Geoffrey Fox * See also color IMAGE

new technology
signal analysis - weighted sum of basis functions
Infinitely many possible sets of wavelets
coefficients contain information about the signal
basis functions
  • impulse function reveals information only about the time domain behavior of the signal
  • Fourier representation reveals information about signal's frequency domain behavior
  • we want to have representation which contains info about both the time and frequency (frequency content of the signal at the particular instant of time)
Heisenberg inequality - resolution in time and in frequency cannot both be made arbitrarily small
