Summary:

This book reviews, extends, and applies wavelet theory, concentrating on the practical applications. Many pictures provide visualizations of wavelet theory and its new extentions, as well as relationships to established concepts. Wavelet theory is integrated with other general theories, including linear systems theory and template matching or matched filtering. These relationships create analogies with related research and connections to practical applications. In addition, by demonstrating the effectiveness of wavelet theory in these general applications, many other specific applications may be improved. Temporal and spatial signals and systems are considered. The properties of the wavelet transform representation are sensitive to the chosen mother wavelet (the kernel of the wavelet transform, analogous to the exponential function in a Fourier transform). These properties are examined and techniques for analyzing these sensitivities are presented.
