Wavelet Transforms and Their Applications

Overview Historically, the concept of "ondelettes" or "wavelets" originated from the study of time-frequency signal analysis, wave propagation, and sampling theory. One of the main reasons for the discovery of wavelets and wavelet transforms is that the Fourier transform analysis does not contain the local information of signals. So the Fourier transform cannot be used for analyzing signals in a joint time and frequency domain. In 1982, Jean MorIet, in collaboration with a group of French engineers, first introduced the idea of wavelets as a family of functions constructed by using translation and dilation of a single function, called the mother wavelet, for the analysis of nonstationary signals. However, this new concept can be viewed as the synthesis of various ideas originating from different disciplines including mathematics (Calder6n-Zygmund operators and Littlewood-Paley theory), physics (coherent states in quantum mechanics and the renormalization group), and engineering (quadratic mirror filters, sideband coding in signal processing, and pyramidal algorithms in image processing). Wavelet analysis is an exciting new method for solving difficult problems in mathematics, physics, and engineering, with modern applications as diverse as wave propagation, data compression, image processing, pattern recognition, computer graphics, the detection of aircraft and submarines, and improvement in CAT scans and other medical image technology. Wavelets allow complex information such as music, speech, images, and patterns to be decomposed into elementary forms, called the fundamental building blocks, at different positions and scales and subsequently reconstructed with high precision.

Topics and Features: * This second edition heavily reworks the chapters on Extensions of Multiresolution Analysis and Newlands’s Harmonic Wavelets and introduces a new chapter containing new applications of wavelet transforms * Uses knowledge of Fourier transforms, some elementary ideas of Hilbert spaces, and orthonormal systems to develop the theory and applications of wavelet analysis * Offers detailed and clear explanations of every concept and method, accompanied by carefully selected worked examples, with special emphasis given to those topics in which students typically experience difficulty * Includes carefully chosen end-of-chapter exercises directly associated with applications or formulated in terms of the mathematical, physical, and engineering context and provides answers to selected exercises for additional help Mathematicians, physicists, computer engineers, and electrical and mechanical engineers will find Wavelet Transforms and Their Applications an exceptionally complete and accessible text and reference. It is also suitable as a self-study or reference guide for practitioners and professionals.
Wavelet Transforms and Localization Operators

Release Date: 2002
The focus of this book is on the Schatten-von Neumann properties and the product formulas of localization operators defined in terms of infinite-dimensional and square-integrable representations of locally compact and Hausdorff groups. Wavelet transforms, which are the building blocks of localization operators, are also studied in their own right. Daubechies operators on the Weyl-Heisenberg group, localization operators on the affine group, and wavelet multipliers on the Euclidean space are investigated in detail. The study is carried out in the perspective of pseudo-differential operators, quantization and signal analysis. Although the emphasis is put on locally compact and Hausdorff groups, results in the context of homogeneous spaces are given in order to unify the various localization operators into a single theory. Several new spectral results on pseudo-differential operators in the setting of localization operators are presented for the first time. The book is accessible to graduate students and mathematicians who have a basic knowledge of measure theory and functional analysis and wish to have a fast track to the frontier of research at the interface of pseudo-differential operators, quantization and signal analysis.
