Wavelet Transform: Specialty
y
Scalingg and Translation are indeed
Hallmarks of Wavelet transform
y
They lead us to MultiResolutioAnalysis
(MRA) !!
Relationship
As the spaces
p
and spans
p
are clear now
y Intuitionally, we observe a relationship
between tthese
betwee
ese spaces!
y
.......V−2 ⊂ V−1 ⊂ V0 ⊂ V1 ⊂ V2 .......
y
Intuitively we can see that as we move
towards right, i.e. up the ladder, we are
moving towards L2 (ℜ)

Gave us p
power to move upp or down the
ladder
y We
e can
ca now
ow indeed
ee zoom-in

or zoomo
oo
out of any part of the signal
y This makes the entire analysis ‘scalable’!!
scalable !!
y Scalability stems out of multi-resolution
framework !
y
Framework
Leads us to two questions
q
1) How do we go about selecting the
mother
ot e wavelet
wave et and
a scale
sca e of

a a ys s?
2) What is the procedure to calculate
scaling and wavelet coefficients?

eo e 2::
y
If the scaling function φ ( x) has compact support on
0 ≤ x ≤ N -1 and if, {φ ( x - k )} are linearly independent,
then hn = h( n) = 0, for n<0 and n > N -1.
Hence N is the length of the sequence.
