Fast Computational Algorithms for the Discrete Wavelet Transform and Applications of Localized Orthonormal Bases in Signal Classification
<|reference_start|>Fast Computational Algorithms for the Discrete Wavelet Transform and Applications of Localized Orthonormal Bases in Signal Classification: We construct an algorithm for implementing the discrete wavelet transform by means of matrices in SO_2(R) for orthonormal compactly supported wavelets and matrices in SL_m(R), m > = 2, for compactly supported biorthogonal wavelets. We show that in 1 dimension the total operation count using this algorithm can be reduced to about 50% of the conventional convolution and downsampling by 2-operation for both orthonormal and biorthogonal filters. In the special case of biorthogonal symmetric odd-odd filters, we show an implementation yielding a total operation count of about 38% of the conventional method. In 2 dimensions we show an implementation of this algorithm yielding a reduction in the total operation count of about 70% when the filters are orthonormal, a reduction of about 62% for general biorthogonal filters, and a reduction of about 70% if the filters are symmetric odd-odd length filters. We further extend these results to 3 dimensions. We also show how the SO_2(R)-method for implementing the discrete wavelet transform may be exploited to compute short FIR filters, and we construct edge mappings where we try to improve upon the degree of preservation of regularity in the conventional methods. We also consider a two-class waveform discrimination problem. A statistical space-frequency analysis is performed on a training data set using the LDB-algorithm of N.Saito and R.Coifman. The success of the algorithm on this particular problem is evaluated on a disjoint test data set.<|reference_end|>
