Haar Wavelet - Haar Wavelet Properties

Haar Wavelet Properties

The Haar wavelet has several notable properties:

  1. Any continuous real function can be approximated by linear combinations of and their shifted functions. This extends to those function spaces where any function therein can be approximated by continuous functions.
  2. Any continuous real function can be approximated by linear combinations of the constant function, and their shifted functions.
  3. Orthogonality in the form
Here δi,j represents the Kronecker delta. The dual function of is itself.
4. Wavelet/scaling functions with different scale m have a functional relationship:
\begin{align} \phi(t) &= \phi(2t)+\phi(2t-1)\\ \psi(t) &= \phi(2t)-\phi(2t-1) \end{align}
5. Coefficients of scale m can be calculated by coefficients of scale m+1:
If

Famous quotes containing the words wavelet and/or properties:

    “These facts have always suggested to man the sublime creed that the world is not the product of manifold power, but of one will, of one mind; and that one mind is everywhere active, in each ray of the star, in each wavelet of the pool; and whatever opposes that will is everywhere balked and baffled, because things are made so, and not otherwise.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “A drop of water has the properties of the sea, but cannot exhibit a storm. There is beauty of a concert, as well as of a flute; strength of a host, as well as of a hero.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
