Since the study of wavelets is a relatively new area, much of the research coming from mathematicians, most of the literature uses terminology, concepts and proofs that may, at times, be difficult and intimidating for the engineer. Wavelet Basics has therefore been written as an introductory book for scientists and engineers. The mathematical presentation has been kept simple, the concepts being presented in elaborate detail in a terminology that engineers will find familiar. Difficult ideas are illustrated with examples which will also aid in the development of an intuitive insight. Chapter 1 reviews the basics of signal transformation and discusses the concepts of duals and frames. Chapter 2 introduces the wavelet transform, contrasts it with the short-time Fourier transform and clarifies the names of the different types of wavelet transforms. Chapter 3 links multiresolution analysis, orthonormal wavelets and the design of digital filters. Chapter 4 gives a tour d'horizon of topics of current interest: wavelet packets and discrete time wavelet transforms, and concludes with applications in signal processing.

Good Introduction to Wavelets for Physicists and Engineers,
By A Customer
This review is from: Wavelet Basics (Hardcover)
There are no great wavelet books. They all tend to be heavy on theory and skimpy on detailed examples. The authors seem to "show off" their mathematical muscle and leave the reader to work out the details. And,usually, the emphasis is on 1-D (i.e., time series) applications - and multidimensional (e.g., image processing) problems are pretty much ignored or treated incompletely (e.g.,non-separable approaches omitted or summarized lightly).Many of the books in the field appear to be "thrown together" without any consideration for the reader. This book is somewhat expensive for its size but it is probably the best introduction to the subject around. It has an informative discussion on the differences between continuous and discrete wavelets that is usually glossed over in other books. It sort of peters out at the end but the first two chapters (only four chapters in all) are strong. And its attention to the details is what distinguishes it from other wavelet books. Good job Dr. Chan!

A Great Tutorial,
By A Customer
This review is from: Wavelet Basics (Hardcover)
I read this book and learned all the basics in less than three weeks. The author really knows how to write a book for newcomers. After reading this book, I felt more comfortable to read more advance book such as "A Wavelet Tour of Signal Processing." I strongly recommend this book for anyone who is new to the field.
