Description: Wavelet transform technology enables the compression and transfer of quality, high-resolution images and data. This book allows engineers, scientists, and students to understand wavelet transforms and their properties. It identifies problems for which wavelet transform techniques are well suited, shows how to implement wavelet transforms efficiently, and explains how to choose or design appropriate wavelets for a given application. In addition, it shows how to apply these techniques to problems in data compression, pattern recognition, and audio/visual processing. The book emphasizes practical issues supported by fundamental theory, allowing the reader to see application potential in several different areas. The authors show how to evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of using wavelet transform techniques versus other techniques. The disk contains numerous MATLAB programs as supplements to the book.
