The construction of needlet-type wavelets on sections of the spin line bundles over the sphere has been recently addressed in Geller and Marinucci (2008), and Geller et al. (2008,2009). Here we focus on an alternative proposal for needlets…
The notion of wavelets is defined. It is briefly described {\it what} are wavelets, {\it how} to use them, {\it when} we do need them, {\it why} they are preferred and {\it where} they have been applied. Then one proceeds to the…
We develop an exact wavelet transform on the three-dimensional ball (i.e. on the solid sphere), which we name the flaglet transform. For this purpose we first construct an exact transform on the radial half-line using damped Laguerre…
We describe a new wavelet transform, for use on hierarchies or binary rooted trees. The theoretical framework of this approach to data analysis is described. Case studies are used to further exemplify this approach. A first set of…
Wavelet analysis is proposed as a new tool for studying the large-scale structure formation of the universe. To reveal its usefulness, the wavelet decomposition of one-dimensional cosmological density fluctuations is performed. In contrast…
We develop a systematic framework for constructing spherical harmonics on the two-dimensional unit sphere as superpositions of Gaussian beams whose poles form well-separated point configurations. The distributional and analytic properties…
We introduce WaveSim, a multi-scale similarity metric for the evaluation of spatial fields in weather and climate applications. WaveSim exploits wavelet transforms to decompose input fields into scale-specific wavelet coefficients. The…
The wavelet tree (Grossi et al. [SODA, 2003]) and wavelet matrix (Claude et al. [Inf. Syst., 2015]) are compact data structures with many applications such as text indexing or computational geometry. By continuing the recent research of…
We show that the spin wavelets on the sphere $S^2$, which were constructed by the first author and Marinucci in an earlier article, can be chosen so as to form a nearly tight frame. These spin wavelets can be applied to the study of the…
The forward and inverse wavelet transform using the continuous Morlet basis may be symmetrized by using an appropriate normalization factor. The loss of response due to wavelet truncation is addressed through a renormalization of the…
A novel spherical convolution is defined through the sifting property of the Dirac delta on the sphere. The so-called sifting convolution is defined by the inner product of one function with a translated version of another, but with the…
Seismic data are commonly modeled by a high-frequency single scattering approximation. This amounts to a linearization in the medium coefficient about a smooth background. The discontinuities are contained in the medium perturbation. The…
In this article, we investigate the application of wavelet packet transform as a novel spectrum sensing approach. The main attraction for wavelet packets is the tradeoffs they offer in terms of satisfying various performance metrics such as…
Wavelets offer significant advantages for the analysis of problems in quantum mechanics. Because wavelets are localized in both time and frequency they avoid certain subtle but potentially fatal conceptual errors that can result from the…
Wavelet and frames have become a widely used tool in mathematics, physics, and applied science during the last decade. This article gives an overview over some well known results about the continuous and discrete wavelet transforms and…
We develop a general notion of orthogonal wavelets `centered' on an irregular knot sequence. We present two families of orthogonal wavelets that are continuous and piecewise polynomial. We develop efficient algorithms to implement these…
