Nonhomogeneous Wavelet Systems in High Dimensions
It is of interest to study a wavelet system with a minimum number of
generators. It has been showed by X. Dai, D. R. Larson, and D. M. Speegle in
[11] that for any real-valued expansive matrix M, a homogeneous
orthonormal M-wavelet basis can be generated by a single wavelet function. On
the other hand, it has been demonstrated in [21] that nonhomogeneous wavelet
systems, though much less studied in the literature, play a fundamental role in
wavelet analysis and naturally link many aspects of wavelet analysis together.
In this paper, we are interested in nonhomogeneous wavelet systems in high
dimensions with a minimum number of generators. As we shall see in this paper,
a nonhomogeneous wavelet system naturally leads to a homogeneous wavelet system
with almost all properties preserved. We also show that a nonredundant
nonhomogeneous wavelet system is naturally connected to refinable structures
and has a fixed number of wavelet generators. Consequently, it is often
impossible for a nonhomogeneous orthonormal wavelet basis to have a single
wavelet generator. However, for redundant nonhomogeneous wavelet systems, we
show that for any real-valued expansive matrix M, we can always
construct a nonhomogeneous smooth tight M-wavelet frame in with a
single wavelet generator whose Fourier transform is a compactly supported
function. Moreover, such nonhomogeneous tight wavelet frames are
associated with filter banks and can be modified to achieve directionality in
high dimensions. Our analysis of nonhomogeneous wavelet systems employs a
notion of frequency-based nonhomogeneous wavelet systems in the distribution
space. Such a notion allows us to separate the perfect reconstruction property
of a wavelet system from its stability in function spaces
The Haar Wavelet Transform of a Dendrogram: Additional Notes
We consider the wavelet transform of a finite, rooted, node-ranked, -way
tree, focusing on the case of binary () trees. We study a Haar wavelet
transform on this tree. Wavelet transforms allow for multiresolution analysis
through translation and dilation of a wavelet function. We explore how this
works in our tree context.Comment: 37 pp, 1 fig. Supplementary material to "The Haar Wavelet Transform

Fast directional continuous spherical wavelet transform algorithms
We describe the construction of a spherical wavelet analysis through the
inverse stereographic projection of the Euclidean planar wavelet framework,
introduced originally by Antoine and Vandergheynst and developed further by
Wiaux et al. Fast algorithms for performing the directional continuous wavelet
analysis on the unit sphere are presented. The fast directional algorithm,
based on the fast spherical convolution algorithm developed by Wandelt and
Gorski, provides a saving of O(sqrt(Npix)) over a direct quadrature
implementation for Npix pixels on the sphere, and allows one to perform a
directional spherical wavelet analysis of a 10^6 pixel map on a personal
computer.Comment: 10 pages, 3 figures, replaced to match version accepted by IEEE

Characterization and application of objective pilling classification to patterned fabrics
Previously, the authors proposed a new, simple method of frequency domain analysis based on the two-dimensional discrete wavelet transform to objectively measure the pilling intensity in sample fabric images. The method was further characterized, and the results obtained indicate that standard deviation and variance are the most appropriate measures of the dispersion of wavelet details coefficients for analysis, that the relationship between wavelet analysis scale and fabric inter-yarn pitch was empirically confirmed, and, that fabrics with random patterns do not appear to impact on the effectiveness of the analysis method. <br /
