Continuous Wavelet Transform - Continuous Wavelet Transform Properties

Continuous Wavelet Transform Properties

In definition, the continuous wavelet transform is a convolution of the input data sequence with a set of functions generated by the mother wavelet. The convolution can be computed by using the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT). Normally, the output is a real valued function except when the mother wavelet is complex. A complex mother wavelet will convert the continuous wavelet transform to a complex valued function. The power spectrum of the continuous wavelet transform can be represented by .

Famous quotes containing the words continuous, wavelet, transform and/or properties:

    “Perhaps when distant people on other planets pick up some wave-length of ours all they hear is a continuous scream.”
    —Iris Murdoch (b. 1919)

    “These facts have always suggested to man the sublime creed that the world is not the product of manifold power, but of one will, of one mind; and that one mind is everywhere active, in each ray of the star, in each wavelet of the pool; and whatever opposes that will is everywhere balked and baffled, because things are made so, and not otherwise.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “The inspired scribbler always has the gift for gossip in our common usage ... he or she can always inspire the commonplace with an uncommon flavor, and transform trivialities by some original grace or sympathy or humor or affection.”
    —Elizabeth Drew (1887–1965)

    “A drop of water has the properties of the sea, but cannot exhibit a storm. There is beauty of a concert, as well as of a flute; strength of a host, as well as of a hero.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
