`
`APPLICATIONS OF WAVELETS IN
`SIGNAL PROCESSING
`
`From the derivation of the wavelet transform as an
`
`alternative to the S'I‘F'l‘. it is clear that one oi’ the main
`
`applications will be in non-stauonsry signal analysis.
`While conceptually. the CWT‘ is a classical I:onai.a.nt—Q
`
`analysis. its simple definition {based on a single rune,-
`
`tion rather than multiple flltersi allows powerful
`
`analytical derivations and has already lead both to new
`
`insights and new theoretical results [WAV89|.
`
`Applications ofwavelet decompositions in numerical
`
`analysis. e.g. for solving ps.t1.ia.| differential equations.
`
`seem very promising because of the 'zoornln,g" pmperiy
`
`which allows a very good representation of discon-
`
`tinuities. unlike the Fourier tranafurrn IEEYBBS.
`Perhaps the biggest potential of wavelets has been
`
`-v

`'
`
`
`claimed for signal compression. Since discrete vvavelet
`i.ransi'orms are essentially subband coding systems.

`will find immediate application In compression

`
`It is therefore deer that dranie improvements of
`compression will not be achieved an easily simply be-
`eause wavelets are used. However. wavelets bring new _
`ideas and insights. In this respect. the use of wavelet
`deeotnposliions in eannectlan with other techniques
`(like vector quantization [ANI9D| or multiacale edges
`[MA.L89dl] are promising compression techniques
`which make use of the elegant theory ofwavclete.
`New develeprnenm. based on wavelet concepts. have
`
`already appeared. For example. statistical signal
`processing using wavelets is a promising field. Multi-
`scaie models of stochastic processes [M589]. [CH091|.

`" -_CONCLUSION
`
`‘
`
`We have seen that the Short-}[‘irnc F'ourier‘[‘runsl'orm
`and the Waveiet'l‘1-ansforrn represent alternative ways
`to divide the time-frequency [or Li1n¢:—scalel plane. Two
`major advantages of Lhe Wavelet Transform are that it
`can zoom in to time discontinuities and that orthonor-
`rnal bases.
`localized in lime and frequency. can be
`constructed. In the discrete case. the Wavelet Trans-
`form is equivalent to a iogarilhrriic filter bank. with the
`added constraint of regularity on the lowpass filter.
`The theory of wavelets can be seen as a common
`framework [or techniques that had been developed
`independently in various fields. This conceptual
`unification furthers the understanding of the
`mechanisms Involved. quantifies trade-offs. and points
`Lo new potential applications. A number of questions
`remain open. however. and will require further invcs—
`tigations (e.g.. what is Lhc "optimal" wavelet for a par-
`ticular applicationfl
`While some see wavelets as a very promising brand
`‘new theory ICIPBGI. others express some doubt that it
`represents a major breakthrough. One reason for skep-
`ticism is that the concepts have been around for some
`time. under different names. For example. wavelet
`transforms can be seen as constant-Q analysis

`We thlrrk that the interest and merit ofwavelet theory
`is to unify all this into a oomrnon framework. thereby

`Blorthogonal Wavelets
`
`Albert Cohen
`
`In this clnpter. we study the construction of blorthogonsl
`Abstract.
`bases of wavelets which generalize the orthonormal bases and have inter-
`esting properties in signal processing. We describe the class of aubbeod
`coding schemes mocisted with these wavelets and we give neoesssr§' sod
`suflicient conditions for frame bounds which ensure the stability of the
`decomposition-reconstruction algorithm. We finally present the example of
`compactly supported spline wavelets which can be generated by this tip-
`proach. The results presented in this chapter are mainly joint work with
`I. Daubechies and J. C. Resnvesu.
`
`§1. Introduction
`
`In recent years, orthonormal wavelet bases have revealed to be it powe.ri"u.l
`tool in applied mathematics and digital signal prooemiog. The possibility of
`dots cornprmion offered by a multiscaie decomposition leads to some very‘
`good results in speech [8] or image [1] coding or test numerical analysis of
`operators [2].
`One of the main reasons for this success is the existence of a Fast Wavelet
`‘Iinnsforrn algorithm {FWTJ which only requir a number of operations pro-
`portional to the size of the initial discrete data. This algorithm relates the
`orthonormal wavelet bases with more classic tools of digital signal processing
`such as subband coding schemes and discrete filters.
`We can describe in four steps the oonnections between these different
`domains:
`a) Wavelets bases are usually defined from the data. of s multiresointion
`analysis;
`r'.e., a ladder of approximation subspaces of L"(iR)
