Constructing orthogonal wavelet bases on the sphere
The stereographic projection determines a bijection between the two-sphere, minus the North Pole, and the tangent plane at the
South Pole. This correspondence induces a unitary map between the corresponding spaces. Using this map, any plane wavelet
may be lifted to a wavelet on the sphere. In this work we quickly review some existing constructions of spherical wavelets, then we
apply the new procedure to orthogonal compactly supported wavelet bases in the plane and we get continuous, locally supported
orthogonal wavelet bases on the sphere. As an example, we perform a singularity detection, where the other constructions of spherical wavelet bases fail
