Abstract
A multiresolution approximation is a sequence of embedded vector spaces   V j  jmember Z for approximating L 2 (R) functions. We study the properties of a multiresolution approximation and prove that it is characterized by a 2π periodic function which is further described. From any multiresolution approximation, we can derive a function ψ(x) called a wavelet such that   √  2 j ψ(2 j x −k)   (k ,j)member Z 2 is an orthonormal basis of L 2 (R). This provides a new approach for understanding and computing wavelet orthonormal bases. Finally, we characterize the asymptotic decay rate of multiresolution approximation errors for functions in a Sobolev space H s .

Construction of Wavelet Decompositions for Tomographic Images

TL;DR: In this article, the reconstruction of a tomographic image from the wavelet transform of its projections with a 1-D analyzing wavelet was studied, and it was shown that it allows us to reconstruct a 2-D wavelet decomposition of the image.

Asymptotically Sufficient Statistics in Nonparametric Regression Experiments with Correlated Noise

TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that the NPR experiment with correlated noise is asymptotically equivalent to an experiment that observes the mean function in the presence of a continuous Gaussian process that is similar to a fractional Browneian motion.

A sensitivity analysis for least-squares ill-posed problems using the Haar basis

TL;DR: In this article, a sensitivity analysis for one-dimensional least-squares ill-posed problems is done by using the Haar basis, which decomposes the parameters to be estimated into parts with different sensitivity order, providing an easy method to identify the suitability of multiresolution algorithms for inverse problems.

Reliable optical detection of coherent neuronal activity in fast oscillating networks in vitro.

TL;DR: A new approach for monitoring neuronal assemblies is reported, using memory-related network oscillations in rodent hippocampal circuits as a model and a highly sensitive and specific wavelet-based method of cell identification allowing simultaneous observation of more than 150 neurons at frame rates of up to 60 Hz is developed.

A theory for multiresolution signal decomposition: the wavelet representation

TL;DR: In this paper, it is shown that the difference of information between the approximation of a signal at the resolutions 2/sup j+1/ and 2 /sup j/ (where j is an integer) can be extracted by decomposing this signal on a wavelet orthonormal basis of L/sup 2/(R/sup n/), the vector space of measurable, square-integrable n-dimensional functions.

Decomposition of Hardy functions into square integrable wavelets of constant shape

TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied square integrable coefficients of an irreducible representation of the non-unimodular $ax + b$-group and obtained explicit expressions in the case of a particular analyzing family that plays a role analogous to coherent states (Gabor wavelets) in the usual $L_2 $ -theory.

TL;DR: It is shown that it is possible to design tree-structured analysis/reconstruction systems which meet the sampling rate condition and which result in exact reconstruction of the input signal.

Analysis of sound patterns through wavelet transforms

TL;DR: The main features of so-called wavelet transforms are illustrated through simple mathematical examples and the first applications of the method to the recognition and visualisation of characteristic features of speech and of musical sounds are presented.
