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 .

Image analysis using space-filling curves and 1D wavelet bases

TL;DR: Images are transformed into signals using a Peano-Hilbert space-filling curve: this continuous mapping captures local informations when Hilbert's curve is wandering inside the image.

The predictive power of yield spread: evidence from wavelet analysis

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined whether the spread between long and short-term interest rates contains information about future economic activity in India and found that predictive power holds only at lower frequencies for the spreads which are constructed at shorter end and policy relevant areas of yield curve.

Improvements in the accuracy of wavelet-based optical flow velocimetry (wOFV) using an efficient and physically based implementation of velocity regularization

TL;DR: A novel regularization scheme is presented that is based on penalization of directional derivatives of the estimated velocity field or more specifically, second-order Penalization of the gradients of divergence and curl, which enforces realistic flow structure.

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.
