Description
Wavelets: A Concise Guide by Amir-Homayoon Najmi provides a clear and concise introduction to wavelet theory. This mathematical concept is used in processing digital signals and imagery, forming the backbone of the JPEG2000 compression standard. The book explains how wavelets work, describes their construction, and discusses their importance as a tool for investigating and processing signals and imagery. Najmi reviews key concepts such as frames, localizing transforms, orthogonal and biorthogonal bases, and multi-resolution, using examples from the Haar, Shannon, and Daubechies families of orthogonal and biorthogonal wavelets. With an increasing need to collect and transmit digital data, understanding wavelets is essential for those working in computer science, physics, applied mathematics, and engineering. This primer will be a valuable resource for anyone seeking an in-depth understanding and working knowledge of wavelet theory, making it an indispensable tool for professionals and students alike.
