MATLAB Wavelet Toolbox
Wavelets and Filter Banks
by Gilbert Strang, Truong Nguyen
ISBN: 0-96140-887-1
Wavelets are an extension of Fourier analysis, and the Wavelet Transform is computationally similar in principle to the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT). The FFT uses cosines, sines and exponentials to represent a signal and is most useful for representing linear functions. Since many 1- and 2-D signals display non-linear, chaotic or fractal behavior, Fourier analysis is less suitable for analyzing such signals. Wavelets offer a new method to analyze complex signals using a special filter. Wavelets and Filter Banks explain this method, while the Wavelet Toolbox explains how to use them within MATLAB.
