What does a continuous wavelet transform do?
In mathematics, the continuous wavelet transform (CWT) is a formal (i.e., non-numerical) tool that provides an overcomplete representation of a signal by letting the translation and scale parameter of the wavelets vary continuously.
What is the difference between continuous wavelet transform and discrete wavelet transform?
The CWT and the discrete wavelet transforms differ in how they discretize the scale parameter. The CWT typically uses exponential scales with a base smaller than 2, for example 21/12 . The discrete wavelet transform always uses exponential scales with the base equal to 2.
What is wavelet transform simple explanation?
The wavelet transform is a mathematical technique which can decompose a signal into multiple lower resolution levels by controlling the scaling and shifting factors of a single wavelet function (mother wavelet) (Foufoula-Georgiou and Kumar, 1995; Lau and Weng, 1995; Torrence and Compo, 1998; Percival and Walden, 2000).
Is wavelet transform a convolution?
A wavelet transform is essentially a convolution with a bunch of functions chosen to be “compact” in frequency and time. Here compact means that the functions are nonzero only over a limited range of frequency and time.
