Note:

All wavelets have been normalized to have (L2) norm 1. This means that values given here may be different (usually by a factor of 2 or 12) from values listed in references.

Orthogonal Wavelet Families

Daubechies

• 

The Daubechies Wavelets are a family of orthogonal wavelets with vanishing moments, and were developed by Ingrid Daubechies.

• 

In WaveletCoefficients(Daubechies,n), n can be any positive even number.

• 

n is the size of the resulting filters.

• 

The Daubechies wavelet of size n has n2 vanishing moments.

• 

The values given by WaveletCoefficients for the Daubechies Coefficients, when multiplied by 2, agree with those in "Ten Lectures on Wavelets" by Ingrid Daubechies.

Symlet

• 

Symlets are also know as the Daubechies least asymmetric wavelets. Their construction is very similar to the Daubechies wavelets.

• 

Whereas the Daubechies wavelets have maximal phase, the Symlets have minimal phase.

• 

In WaveletCoefficients(Symlet,n), n can be any positive even number.

• 

n is the size of the resulting filters.

• 

The Symlet wavelet of size n has n2 vanishing moments.

• 

The values given by WaveletCoefficients, when normalized, agree with those listed in "Ten Lectures on Wavelets" by Ingrid Daubechies.

Coiflet

• 

Coiflets are a family of orthogonal wavelets designed by Ingrid Daubechies to have better symmetry than the Daubechies wavelets.

• 

Note: Currently, only Coiflets 1-7 are supported.

• 

In WaveletCoefficients(Coiflet,n), n can be 1,2,3,4,5,6, or 7.

• 

The nth Coiflet has size 6n. Coiflet scaling functions have 2n1 vanishing moments, and their wavelet functions have 2n vanishing moments.

• 

The algorithm used to generated Coiflets is a modification of the one given in "Orthonormal Bases of Compactly Supported Wavelets II," by Ingrid Daubechies.

• 

The values generated agree with those in "Ten Lectures on Wavelets" by Ingrid Daubechies, when normalized.

Battle-Lemarie

• 

Battle-Lemarie wavelets, also know as orthogonal spline wavelets, are a family of wavelets developed from a multi-resolutional analysis of spaces of piecewise polynomial, continuously differentiable functions. Unlike many other wavelets, they have closed form representations in the frequency domain.

• 

Battle-Lemarie wavelets use guarddigits=5 by default. This greatly speeds up WaveletCoefficients by allowing it to do hardware float integration.

WARNING: Because of the low default setting of guarddigits, a call to WaveletCoefficients for BattleLemarie with Digits=10 will result in an answer that is not necessarily accurate to full hardware float precision.

• 

Battle-Lemarie wavelets do not have compact support. That is, the associated filters do not have finite length.

• 

WaveletCoefficients(BattleLemarie, 4, 5) will give the 4th Battle-Lemarie wavelet with 11 coefficients. In general, WaveletCoefficients(BattleLemarie, n, m) will give the nth Battle-Lemarie wavelet with 2m+1 coefficients.

• 

The coefficients in the Battle-Lemarie wavelets converge very quickly to zero, so although WaveletCoefficients(BattleLemarie,n,m) will give filters that are not quite orthogonal, they are usually almost orthogonal.

• 

Increasing m will improve the orthogonality of the resulting wavelet.

• 

WaveletCoefficients(BattleLemarie, n, m) gives the middle 2m+1 coefficients of WaveletCoefficients(BattleLemarie, n, m+1).

• 

Because WaveletCoefficients(BattleLemarie,n,m) uses numerical integration, increasing the Digits setting will significantly affect performance.

Biorthogonal Wavelets

CDF

• 

The Cohen-Daubechies-Feauveau 9 tap 7 tap wavelet, or CDF wavelet, is used in the JPEG 2000 image compression standard.

• 

WaveletCoefficients(CDF) gives the CDF wavelet. It in fact returns four length 10 Vectors. This is to allow for offsets.

Biorthogonal Spline

• 

Biorthogonal spline wavelets are a family of biorthogonal wavelets.

• 

In WaveletCoefficients(BiorthogonalSpline, b, c), b and c can be any positive integers whose sum is even.

• 

b and c are the number of vanishing moments of the analysis and synthesis filters, respectively.
