# 5.4 Continuous wavelet transform

 Page 1 / 1
This module introduces continuous wavelet transform.

The STFT provided a means of (joint) time-frequency analysis with the property that spectral/temporal widths (or resolutions)were the same for all basis elements. Let's now take a closer look at the implications of uniform resolution.

Consider two signals composed of sinusoids with frequency 1 Hz and 1.001 Hz, respectively. It may be difficult to distinguishbetween these two signals in the presence of background noise unless many cycles are observed, implying the need for amany-second observation. Now consider two signals with pure frequencies of 1000 Hz and 1001 Hz-again, a 0.1%difference. Here it should be possible to distinguish the two signals in an interval of much less than one second. In otherwords, good frequency resolution requires longer observation times as frequency decreases. Thus, it might be more convenientto construct a basis whose elements have larger temporal width at low frequencies.

The previous example motivates a multi-resolution time-frequency tiling of the form ( [link] ):

The Continuous Wavelet Transform (CWT) accomplishes the above multi-resolution tiling by time-scaling and time-shifting aprototype function $\psi (t)$ , often called the mother wavelet . The $a$ -scaled and $\tau$ -shifted basis elements is given by ${\psi }_{a,\tau }(t)=\frac{1}{\sqrt{\left|a\right|}}\psi (\frac{t-\tau }{a})$ where $(a\land \tau )\in \mathbb{R}$ $\int_{()} \,d t$ ψ t 0 ${C}_{\psi }=\int_{()} \,d \Omega$ ψ Ω 2 Ω The conditions above imply that $\psi (t)$ is bandpass and sufficiently smooth. Assuming that $(\psi (t))=1$ , the definition above ensures that $({\psi }_{a,\tau }(t))=1$ for all $a$ and $\tau$ . The CWT is then defined by the transform pair ${X}_{\mathrm{CWT}}(a, \tau )=\int_{()} \,d t$ x t ψ a , τ t $x(t)=\frac{1}{{C}_{\psi }}\int_{()} \,d a$ τ X CWT a τ ψ a , τ t a 2 In basis terms, the CWT says that a waveform can be decomposed into a collection of shifted and stretched versions of themother wavelet $\psi (t)$ . As such, it is usually said that wavelets perform a "time-scale" analysis rather than a time-frequency analysis.

The Morlet wavelet is a classic example of the CWT. It employs a windowed complex exponential as the motherwavelet: $\psi (t)=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2\pi }}e^{-(i{\Omega }_{0}t)}e^{-\left(\frac{t^{2}}{2}\right)}$ $\Psi (\Omega )=e^{-\left(\frac{(\Omega -{\Omega }_{0})^{2}}{2}\right)}$ where it is typical to select ${\Omega }_{0}=\pi \sqrt{\frac{2}{\lg 2}}$ . (See illustration .) While this wavelet does not exactly satisfy the conditions established earlier, since $\Psi (0)\approx 7E-7\neq 0$ , it can be corrected, though in practice the correction is negligible and usually ignored.

While the CWT discussed above is an interesting theoretical and pedagogical tool, the discrete wavelet transform (DWT) is muchmore practical. Before shifting our focus to the DWT, we take a step back and review some of the basic concepts from the branchof mathematics known as Hilbert Space theory ( Vector Space , Normed Vector Space , Inner Product Space , Hilbert Space , Projection Theorem ). These concepts will be essential in our development of the DWT.

I know this work

The given of f(x=x-2. then what is the value of this f(3) 5f(x+1)
hmm well what is the answer
Abhi
how do they get the third part x = (32)5/4
can someone help me with some logarithmic and exponential equations.
20/(×-6^2)
Salomon
okay, so you have 6 raised to the power of 2. what is that part of your answer
I don't understand what the A with approx sign and the boxed x mean
it think it's written 20/(X-6)^2 so it's 20 divided by X-6 squared
Salomon
I'm not sure why it wrote it the other way
Salomon
I got X =-6
Salomon
ok. so take the square root of both sides, now you have plus or minus the square root of 20= x-6
oops. ignore that.
so you not have an equal sign anywhere in the original equation?
hmm
Abhi
is it a question of log
Abhi
🤔.
Abhi
I rally confuse this number And equations too I need exactly help
salma
But this is not salma it's Faiza live in lousvile Ky I garbage this so I am going collage with JCTC that the of the collage thank you my friends

hi

what is a good calculator for all algebra; would a Casio fx 260 work with all algebra equations? please name the cheapest, thanks.
a perfect square v²+2v+_
kkk nice
algebra 2 Inequalities:If equation 2 = 0 it is an open set?
or infinite solutions?
Kim
The answer is neither. The function, 2 = 0 cannot exist. Hence, the function is undefined.

what is nanomaterials​ and their applications of sensors.
what is nano technology
what is system testing?
preparation of nanomaterial
Yes, Nanotechnology has a very fast field of applications and their is always something new to do with it...
what is system testing
what is the application of nanotechnology?

In this morden time nanotechnology used in many field . 1-Electronics-manufacturad IC ,RAM,MRAM,solar panel etc 2-Helth and Medical-Nanomedicine,Drug Dilivery for cancer treatment etc 3- Atomobile -MEMS, Coating on car etc. and may other field for details you can check at Google
Azam
anybody can imagine what will be happen after 100 years from now in nano tech world
Prasenjit
after 100 year this will be not nanotechnology maybe this technology name will be change . maybe aftet 100 year . we work on electron lable practically about its properties and behaviour by the different instruments
Azam
name doesn't matter , whatever it will be change... I'm taking about effect on circumstances of the microscopic world
Prasenjit
how hard could it be to apply nanotechnology against viral infections such HIV or Ebola?
Damian
silver nanoparticles could handle the job?
Damian
not now but maybe in future only AgNP maybe any other nanomaterials
Azam
Hello
Uday
I'm interested in Nanotube
Uday
this technology will not going on for the long time , so I'm thinking about femtotechnology 10^-15
Prasenjit
can nanotechnology change the direction of the face of the world
At high concentrations (>0.01 M), the relation between absorptivity coefficient and absorbance is no longer linear. This is due to the electrostatic interactions between the quantum dots in close proximity. If the concentration of the solution is high, another effect that is seen is the scattering of light from the large number of quantum dots. This assumption only works at low concentrations of the analyte. Presence of stray light.
the Beer law works very well for dilute solutions but fails for very high concentrations. why?
how did you get the value of 2000N.What calculations are needed to arrive at it
