Multiresolution analysis, its link to the discrete parameter wavelet transform, and its initialization
Y.T. Chan, K. C. Ho · IEEE Transactions on Signal Processing · 1996
By establishing an equivalence between the discrete parameter (DP) wavelet transform and the multiresolution analysis (MRA) detail coefficients, a simple derivation of the two-scale wavelet equations is given. MRA computes the DP of a signal s(t) only if the MRA inputs s(n) are samples of the inner product of s(t) and the scaling function. This is seldom true in practice. A prefiltering of s(n), as an approximate initialization, is necessary to make the MRA detail coefficients closer to the DP coefficients. A new prefiltering scheme is proposed and shown to be effective in an example.
