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 .

Generalized sampling theorems in multiresolution subspaces

TL;DR: This paper extends the existing sampling theory for wavelet subspaces in several directions, and extends the sampling theory to random processes, where it turns out that one cannot recover random processes themselves but only their power spectral density functions.

Pansharpening Based on Semiblind Deconvolution

TL;DR: An algorithm for estimating the relation between PAN and MS images directly from the available data through an efficient optimization procedure is developed and is shown to outperform several very credited state-of-the-art approaches for the extraction of the details used in the current literature.

Some elementary properties of multiresolution analyses of L 2 (R n )

W. R. Madych
TL;DR: In this article, a multiresolution analysis is defined as a family of subspaces which are generated by lattice translates of dilates of one function ϕ, and several observations concerning such families are recorded.

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.
