Semi-orthogonal wavelets that behave like fractional differentiators

چکیده
The approximate behavior of wavelets as differential operators is often considered as one of their most fundamental properties. In this paper, we investigate how we can further improve on the wavelet’s behavior as differentiator. In particular, we propose semi-orthogonal differential wavelets. The semi-orthogonality condition ensures that wavelet spaces are mutually orthogonal. The operator, hidden within the wavelet, can be chosen as a generalized differential operator ∂ τ , for a γ-th order derivative with shift τ . Both order of derivation and shift can be chosen fractional. Our design leads us naturally to select the fractional B-splines as scaling functions. By putting the differential wavelet in the perspective of a derivative of a smoothing function, we find that signal singularities are compactly characterized by at most two local extrema of the wavelet coefficients in each subband. This property could be beneficial for signal analysis using wavelet bases. We show that this wavelet transform can be efficiently implemented using FFTs.

Construction of fractional spline wavelet bases
We extend Schoenberg's B-splines to all fractional degrees α > − 2 . These splines are constructed using linear combinations of the integer shifts of the power functions x+ α (one-sided) or x * α (symmetric); in each case, they are αHölder continuous for α > 0. They satisfy most of the properties of the traditional B-splines; in particular, the Riesz basis condition and the two-scale relation, ...
متن کاملOrthogonal quincunx wavelets with fractional orders
We present a new family of 2D orthogonal wavelets which uses quincunx sampling. The orthogonal refinement filters have a simple analytical expression in the Fourier domain as a function of the order α, which may be non-integer. The wavelets have good isotropy properties. We can also prove that they yield wavelet bases of L2(R) for any α > 0. The wavelets are fractional in the sense that the app...
متن کاملFractional Splines , Wavelet Bases
The purpose of this presentation is to describe a recent family of basis functions—the fractional B-splines—which appear to be intimately connected to fractional calculus. Among other properties, we show that they are the convolution kernels that link the discrete (finite differences) and continuous (derivatives) fractional differentiation operators. We also provide simple closed forms for the ...
متن کاملMultiresolution analysis and orthogonal wavelets associated with fractional wavelet transform
The fractional wavelet transform (FRWT), which generalizes the classical wavelet transform, has been shown to be potentially useful for signal processing. Many fundamental results of this transform are already known, but the theory of multiresolution analysis and orthogonal wavelets is still missing. In this paper, we first develop multiresolution analysis associated with the FRWT and then deri...
متن کاملAn Algorithm for the Construction of Symmetric and Anti-Symmetric M-Band Wavelets
In this paper, we give an algorithm to construct semi-orthogonal symmetric and anti-symmetric M-band wavelets. As an application, some semi-orthogonal symmetric and anti-symmetric M-band spline wavelets are constructed explicitly. Also we show that if we want to construct symmetric or anti-symmetric M-band wavelets from a multiresolution, then that multiresolution has a symmetric scaling function.
