Wavelet Transform Modulus Maxima Based Fractal Correlation Analysis
نویسندگان
چکیده
The wavelet transform modulus maxima (WTMM) used in the singularity analysis of one fractal function is extended to study the fractal correlation of two multifractal functions. The technique is developed in the framework of joint partition function analysis (JPFA) proposed by Meneveau et al. [1] and is shown to be equally effective. In addition, we show that another leading approach developed for the same purpose, namely, relative multifractal analysis, can be considered as a special case of JPFA at a particular parameter setting.

A Local Multiscale Characterization of Edges applying the Wavelet Transform
A multiscale detection and characterization of edges in images is presented. The method is based on ideas involving scale-space filtering in the field of human vision, and on more recent developments in the theory of wavelets, singular functions and the analysis of fractal time series. Edges and their properties on all scales of observation are looked for, at the same time avoiding a proliferat...

OBJECTIVES Our objectives were to study the temporal correlation of physical activity time series in patients with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) during normal daily life and to examine if it could identify the altered physical activity in these patients. METHODS Fractal scaling exponents of diurnal and nocturnal physical activity time series in 10 CFS patients and 6 healthy control subjects ...
متن کاملOn Wavelet Transform General Modulus Maxima Metric for Singularity Classification in Mammograms
Continuous wavelet transform is employed to detect singularities in 2-D signals by tracking modulus maxima along maxima lines and particularly applied to microcalcification detection in mammograms. The microcalcifications are modeled as smoothed positive impulse functions. Other target property detection can be performed by adjusting its mathematical model. In this application, the general modu...

متن کاملCharacterising Complexity in Solar Magnetogram Data using a Wavelet-based Segmentation Method
The multifractal nature of solar photospheric magnetic structures are studied using the 2D wavelet transform modulus maxima (WTMM) method. This relies on computing partition functions from the wavelet transform skeleton defined by the WTMM method. This skeleton provides an adaptive spacescale partition of the fractal distribution under study, from which one can extract the multifractal singular...
