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:

    Television is an excellent system when one has nothing to lose, as is the case with a nomadic and rootless country like the United States, but in Europe the affect of television is that of a bulldozer which reduces culture to the lowest possible denominator.
    Marc Fumaroli (b. 1932)

    It is the final proof of God’s omnipotence that he need not exist in order to save us.
    Peter De Vries (b. 1910)
