Description
Book SynopsisAn accessible and practical introduction to wavelets With applications in image processing, audio restoration, seismology, and elsewhere, wavelets have been the subject of growing excitement and interest over the past several years. Unfortunately, most books on wavelets are accessible primarily to research mathematicians.
Trade Review...this text has the advantage of being self contained: the conceptual prerequisites are kept to a minimum and the student can quickly get to the applications with a reasonably complete understanding of how and why wavelets work in data processing. As such, this text should appeal to instructors and students who are interested in learning about how wavelets work without being required to learn the whole mathematical backdrop in which wavelet theory is developed.
