Foil 10 Discrete Wavelet Transform

From Master Foils for HPDC95 Compression Presentation HPDC95 Pentagon City -- August 1,1995. by Roman Markowski and Geoffrey Fox * Critical Information in IMAGE

FFT vs DWT -
  • Individual wavelet localized pretty well in both time (space) and frequency
  • Fourier expansion functions localized very well in frequency but not all in space or time
Both fast, linear operations; invertible and orthogonal
rotation in function space
  • From Impulse (delta function) space to that of coefficients of Fourier or Wavelet functions
  • Wavelet Transformation on N points performed as log2N rotations in multiresolution fashion
wavelet - localized in space and frequency;
  • Basis consists of scalings and translations of Mother functions
