    Wavelet transform (CWT and DWT)

    Hello, I recently got interested in wavelets. The main idea seems clear: we compute the inner product between the signal ##x(t)## and a chosen wavelet for different scale factors and translations of the wavelet over the signal. The inner product provides the coefficient for a wavelet with a...

    I Young's double slit experiment -- Question about this wavefront diagram

    Hello, I have a question about the blue waves coming from sources S1 and S2 in de next picture. The blue waves from sources S1 and S2, are those two resulting waves (interference of all wavelets, Huygens Principle) or are those blue waves two wavelets?

    I Why is the number of wavelets in a slit = slit length / lambda

    Hi folks, Huygens principle is not really new to me but I just realized there is something I don't understand with it. Take a single 1D slit with a coherent incident plane wave. It seems that the number of wavelets in the slits is ##n = l/\lambda##, where ##l## is the length of the slit, and...

    I Vector-wavelet Galerkin projection of Navier-Stokes equation

    Hi, I am having a little trouble understanding a minor step in a paper by [V. Zimin and F. Hussain][1]. They define a collection of divergence-free vector wavelets as $$\mathbf{v}_{N\nu n}(\mathbf{x}) = -\frac{9}{14}\rho^{1/2}_N...

    Just curious, searching for explanations or research

    Outdated Control Systems Engineer with a PhD in Industrial Preventive Maintenance, in training for a double major in Chemistry and Biology. Prefer to work the math, reason and deduct, infer, interpolate and extrapolate, yet a lot is presented to me as to be "simple memorization", so I have to...

    Wavelets vs disadvantages of Fourier Analysis and Synthesis?

    I am a beginner. The Fourier series, Fourier Transform and it's inverse play very important role in Fourier Analysis and Fourier Synthesis. I have read that Fourier transform is localised in only frequency domain.Also,it contains information about the signal in phase and frequency spectrum...

    Why the Fourier transform is so important compared to other?

    I am engineering student and studying signal processing. The term Fourier transform comes in the discussion several times. There are many transforms like Laplace transform,Z transform,Wavelet transform.But as per my view ,Fourier transform is mostly used compared to others in general. My...

    Application of wavelets in computational electromagnetics

    Hello everyone, I am a first year graduate student, wavelets is one of the courses that I am taking presently. As part of the course, I plan to explore application of wavelets in computational electromagnetics (CEM). The idea behind it is to study a few applications where wavelets are used in...

    Looking for Material on Wavelets

    Hi, I'm looking for a good beginner text on Wavelets. Preferably an undergraduate or early graduate level. The background material that I'm missing most is infinite dimensional vector spaces/function spaces and Fourier analysis. Any advice would really be appreciated! Thanks!

    A classical wave as sum of many coherent quantum wavelets?

    Merzbacher - Quantum mechanics, second edition, chapter 1 page 4,writes: "A classically observable wave will result only if the elementary wavelets representing the individual quanta add coherently. " Is this analysis correct? The context is the following: We may read (1.3) [ë =...

    Discrete Wavelets - Question on decimation of high pass

    Hi, I'm trying to grasp the concept of discrete wavelets and can't seem to find an answer to my question. In the decomposition of a signal using wavelets filter banks, the signal goes through a low pass and high pass filter. The output of the low pass and high pass is decimated by 2. I can...

    What are the dimensions of huygen wavelets

    According to Wikipedia the formula for the field created by an aperture (the Kirchoff-Fresnel Integral) is: \Psi(r)\propto \int\!\!\!\int_\mathrm{aperture} E_{inc}(x',y')~ \frac{e^{ik | \bold r - \bold r'|}}{4 \pi | \bold r - \bold r' |} \,dx'\, dy'...

    Good resource for intro to wavelets?

    Two friends and myself are going to start doing research with a professor of ours on Haar wavelet transforms. I was curious if there are any texts or any online resources which those of PF would recommend? So far the three of us have completed Engineering Calc I, but the professor feels...

    How Do Wavelets Compare to Fourier Transforms for Analyzing Non-Uniform Signals?

    I am new to wavelets. I was reading about wavelets and Fourier transforms. So the main disadvantage of Fourier Transform is that you cannot use it on a non-uniform signal. Even though you use it you have to use a window and select your region of interest. If the window is small enough you can...

    Huygens' theory, point on a wavefront, secondary wavelets

    Huygens' theory says that every point on a wavefront serves as a source of secondary wavelet. Doesn't that imply that if we consider any coherent source of light, and intercept its waves on a screen, we'll get a diffraction pattern, as all those secondary wavelets will interfere among themselves?
