This review is from: Wavelet Applications in Chemical Engineering (The Springer International Series in Engineering and Computer Science) (Hardcover)
The authors of the 8 chapters in this book provide an excellent overview of wavelets, wavelet transforms, and their applications in chemical engineering.
The first two chapters deal with wavelets, wavelet transforms, and an easy-to-read tutorial on computing wavelet transforms and constructing wavelets. Chapters 3 and 4 discuss applications in trend analysis and feature extraction. The authors of Chapter 4 present applications of wavelets to the field of process and sensor data fingerprinting. Chapter 5 describes how wavelets can be used along with neural networks to extract information from process data via induction. Chapter 6 presents a wavelet domain formulation and solution of model predictive control. Chapter 7 addresses numerical solution of differential equations, solutions for which exhibit abrupt changes, using orthogonal and semi-orthogonal wavelets. Several numerical examples are given. The last chapters discusses implentation of two-dimensional wavelet packet transform and its application to analyze two-dimensional turbulent flow fields.
The book is valuable as a reference source and should prove useful to introduce researchers to the exciting facets of wavelets.
