Daubechies Wavelet - The Scaling Sequences of Lowest Approximation Order

The Scaling Sequences of Lowest Approximation Order

Below are the coefficients for the scaling functions for D2-20. The wavelet coefficients are derived by reversing the order of the scaling function coefficients and then reversing the sign of every second one, (i.e., D4 wavelet = {-0.1830127, -0.3169873, 1.1830127, -0.6830127}). Mathematically, this looks like where k is the coefficient index, b is a coefficient of the wavelet sequence and a a coefficient of the scaling sequence. N is the wavelet index, i.e., 2 for D2.

Famous quotes containing the words lowest and/or order:

    All womankind, from the highest to the lowest ... love jokes; the difficulty is to know how they choose to have them cut; and there is no knowing that, but by trying, as we do with our artillery in the field, by raising or letting down their breeches, till we hit the mark.
    Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)

    One serious drawback about letters is that, in order to get them, one must send some out. When it comes to the mail, I feel it is better to receive than to give.
    Joseph Epstein (b. 1937)
