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 .

Fractal Audio Coding

Henry Xiao
TL;DR: It is concluded that fractal coding is not an appropriate model to be applied alone to complex audio data, and some possible improvements by combining it with other techniques such as wavelet transforms.

Extraction of reference lines and items from form document images with complicated background

TL;DR: A method of extracting lines from gray-level images, by constructing a 2D pseudo Gaussian–Coiflet wavelet with adjustable rectangular support, and a method of Extracting items using the extracted reference lines and multiresolution wavelet sub-images, which is independent of the intensity of the strokes and backgrounds.

Fractal Surfaces, Multiresolution Analyses and Wavelet Transforms

TL;DR: In this paper, a class of multivariate vector-valued functions whose graphs are fractal sets are constructed, which generalize those introduced earlier by Barnsley and the authors, and they may provide a means of describing the many scale structure of real world images.

Chemometrics-assisted spectrophotometric method for simultaneous determination of Pb2+ and Cu2+ ions in different foodstuffs, soil and water samples using 2-benzylspiro [isoindoline-1,5′-oxazolidine]-2′,3,4′-trione using continuous wavelet transformation and partial least squares – Calculation of pKf of complexes with rank annihilation factor analysis

TL;DR: The applicability of new synthetic ligand and selected mother wavelets were used for the simultaneous determination of strongly overlapped spectra of species without using any pre-chemical treatment and the obtained results have been compared with those predicted by partial least squares (PLS) and flame atomic absorption spectrophotometry (FAAS).

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.

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.
