What is CWT in signal processing?
Definition of the Continuous Wavelet Transform
Like the Fourier transform, the continuous wavelet transform (CWT) uses inner products to measure the similarity between a signal and an analyzing function. In the Fourier transform, the analyzing functions are complex exponentials, e j ω t .
What is the difference between CWT and DWT?
To summarize: 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.
How do you wavelet transform into a signal?
There are the two ways the wavelets are manipulated. The transform of the entire signal is done by translating the wavelet to the next instance of time called as translation. If the signal is of different frequency the mother wavelet is expanded or contracted. This method is called as dilation.
