The Discrete Wavelet Transform is a type of wavelet transform familiar to many users in digital image compression, audio processing and communications systems. This book provides a comprehensive overview of current and emerging applications of discrete wavelet transforms. For ease of use, it is divided into sections. The first section considers new approaches and recent applications, and includes both theoretical and practical discussions. The second section looks at advances in wavelet theory and application, such as in signal processing (for example, for licence plate character segmentation) and in engineering (for example, for understanding the vortex-induced vibration). The third section focuses on algorithms for applications such as watermarking. The fourth section gives theoretical insights into such practical applications as ECG signal compression and in digital wireless communication. The final section focus on specific issues relating to the application of wavelet transforms in biology and geoscience, such as the multiscale analysis of geophysics signals.
