Video coding algorithms based on 3-D wavelet transforms exist which have a competitive rate-distortion performance and are very fast because motion compensation is not needed. The compression efficiency of these algorithms can be increased by the use of more general wavelet packet transforms. Anisotropic wavelet packets are an even more generalized type of wavelet transform, where multidimensio...

We present compact integrable architectures to perform the discrete wavelet transform (DWT) and the wavelet packet (WP) decomposition of an optical digital signal, and we show that the combined use of planar lightwave circuits (PLC) technology and multiresolution analysis (MRA) can add flexibility to current multiple access optical networks. We furnish the design guidelines to synthesize wavele...

In this paper, an improved algorithm of wavelet packet-chaos model for life prediction of space relays based on volterra series is proposed. In the proposed method, the high and low frequency time sequence components of performance parameters are obtained by employing the improved wavelet packet transform to decompose the performance parameters of the relay into multiple scales. Then the optimi...

Wavelet packet decompositions based on tree structured 2-channel filter banks with conjugate quadrature filters (CQF) have recently found many applications in the area of audio coding. Their time-frequency tiling is dual to that of timevarying modulated lapped transforms (MLT). In this paper we present a new orthonormal wavelet packet basis, which is constructed by frequency-varying MLT. These ...

Feature extraction from audio data is a major concern in computer assisted music applications and content based audio retrieval. For general non-stationary signals, wavelet packet decomposition is used with entropy functions for best basis search. Musical instruments have well defined frequency ranges. Thus when audio data containing a solo instrument is concerned, wavelet packet decomposition ...

Studying ways for achieving a better demarcation of human voices for the task of speaker verification and taking advantage of the flexibility provided by wavelet packet analysis, we investigate in an objective way the relative importance of constituent disjoint frequency subbands of speech signals. Based on experimental results measuring the actual contribution of these subbands in relation to ...

Recently, it was suggested that spectrum estimation can be accomplished by applying wavelet denoising methodology to wavelet packet coefficients derived from the logarithm of a spectrum estimate. The particular algorithm we consider consists of computing the logarithm of the multitaper spectrum estimator, applying an orthonormal transform derived from a wavelet packet tree to the log multitaper...

The existence of recorded accelerograms to perform dynamic inelastic time history analysis is of the utmost importance especially in near-fault regions where directivity pulses impose extreme demands on structures and cause widespread damages. But due to the scarcity of recorded acceleration time histories, it is common to generate proper artificial ground motions. In this paper an alternative ...

In this paper, we propose an audio coder for high quality low bit-rate applications based on the wavelet-packet transform. The primary goal of the proposed coder will be to combine high quality reconstructed audio with shorter delay than existing methods while keeping the bit rate low. Present audio coders, such as MPEG, are capable of transparent or near-transparent monophonic CD quality at 12...
