A new type of analyzing wavelets which optimally match seismic wavelets (SW wavelets) is presented. It is proved that these wavelets are admissible. The advantages of the SW wavelets are shown for the seismic data processing and attributes analysis. By taking one of the SW wavelets as analyzing wavelet, a wavelet transform method (WT method) of calculating the instantaneous spectrum bandwidth (...

Two-dimensional (2-D) compactly supported, orthogonal wavelets and filter banks having linear phase are presented. Two cases are discussed: wavelets with two-fold symmetry (centrosymmetric) and wavelets with four-fold symmetry that are symmetric (or anti-symmetric) about the vertical and horizontal axes. We show that imposing the requirement of linear phase in the case of order-factorable wavel...

This is part of a program devoted to the study of wavelets by making use of their Fourier transforms. We shall rst give a constructive characterization of all minimally-supported-frequencies(m.s.f.) wavelets. Then we use this to construct new m.s.f. wavelets, including ones that are not band-limited. We shall also provide a simple necessary and suucient condition for an m.s.f. wavelet to be ass...

1.1 Pictures of complex wavelets Figure 1 shows the six distinct Daubechies’ wavelets with five vanishing moments. Panels (c) and (f) show respectively the familiar extremal phase and least asymmetric real wavelets, while the other panels show the four distinct complex-valued wavelets. Even though these cDws share the same number of vanishing moments, they are visually very different to each ot...

The wavelet dimension function for arbitrary real dilations is defined and used to address several questions involving the existence of MRA wavelets and well-localized wavelets for irrational dilations. The theory of quasi-affine frames for rational dilations and the existence of non-MSF wavelets for certain irrational dilations play an important role in this development. Expansive dilations ad...

We describe a method to construct a hierarchical representation of a given implicitly defined algebraic spline curve with the help of weighted spline wavelets. These wavelets are adapted to the region of interest, in our case to the region along the curve, by means of a weighted inner product. The application of two different types of weighted spline wavelets is considered and compared with sta...
