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
