Multiresolution Expansions

Multiresolution processing
❖ Introduction
● Multiresolution expansions in wavelets refer to a mathematical framework for
decomposing signals or data into different scales or resolutions.
● Multiresolution analysis provides a systematic way of decomposing signals into
different levels of detail or resolutions. The idea is to represent a signal using a set of
basis functions, known as wavelet functions, that capture different frequency
components and time-localized features.
● The multiresolution expansion is typically obtained by applying a series of filtering and
downsampling operations to the signal. At each level or resolution, the signal is
decomposed into two components: an approximation component that represents the
coarse-scale information, and a detail component that represents the high-frequency
or fine-scale details.
❖ Introduction
● This process is repeated iteratively, resulting in a hierarchical representation of the
signal with multiple levels of approximation and detail coefficients. The approximation
coefficients gives the low-frequency components of the signal(scaling function), while
the detail coefficients gives the high-frequency components(wavelet function).
● Multiresolution processing refers to the manipulation and analysis of signals or data in
the multiresolution domain.
● Wavelet-based methods have found applications in various fields, including signal
processing, image and video compression, data analysis, and pattern recognition.
MULTI RESOLUTION EXPANSIONS
● The scaling function is used to create a
series of approximations(low-pass) of a
function or image, each differing by a factor
of 2 in resolution.
● While complementary functions, called
wavelets, are used to encode the
differences(high-pass) between adjacent
approximations.
● The discrete wavelet transform (DWT)
uses those wavelets, together with a single
scaling function, to represent a function or
image as a linear combination of the
wavelets and scaling function.
