Wavelets and their applicaations: Case Studies [Paperback]

Mei Kobayashi (Editor)

Book Description

Publication Date: January 1, 1987 | ISBN-10: 0898714168 | ISBN-13: 978-0898714166

This collection of independent case studies demonstrates how wavelet techniques have been used to solve open problems and develop insight into the nature of the systems under study. Each case begins with a description of the problem and points to the specific properties of wavelets and techniques used for determining a solution. The cases range from a very simple wavelet-based technique for reducing noise in laboratory data to complex work on two-dimensional geographical data display conducted at the Earthquake Research Institute in Japan. One case study shows how wavelet analysis is used in the development of a Japanese text-to-speech system for personal computers and another presents new wavelet techniques developed for and applied to the study of atmospheric wind, turbulent fluid, and seismic acceleration data.

This review is from: Wavelets and their applicaations: Case Studies (Paperback)

A clear and very readable presentation of key wavelet ideas, and some modern and substantial real life applications. Multiresolutions, noise reduction in data, the conjugate gradient method via wavelets, text-to-speech, and turbulence, are some of the topics. Each chapter can be read by beginners, and yet the reader is quickly led to the heart of the matter, progressing through each chapter. Done by different expert authors, the chapters retain some independence, and yet there is a sense of unity to the book.
