Fourier Transform Representation in Time f(t) Representation in Freq F(ω) Time Domain Studies Frequency Domain Studies
Shortcomings of Fourier Transform - Basis function vary within ± ∞, no localization - Only one Basis function: Sine and Cosine or its complex form • Fourier Coefficients: Projection of function f(t) onto sine and cosine bases functions • Information about the entire range of a function is contained in the coefficients, no localization -

Key Concern in SP Resolution/Localization in Signal Processing Resolution: Information Extraction at a Narrow Band of Signal Span. Localization both in Time and in Frequency freq High freq Low freq Time/space
Need for Joint Time-Frequency Analysis of High Resolution Why Joint T-F Analysis: Transient signal information reside in different bands of time and frequency domain The need for the study of signal at the limits of resolution determined by Heisenberg Uncertainty Limits
Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle • Heisenberg uncertainty principle defined in quantum physics and is applicable to signal processing problems as well. • Position and momentum of a particle can not be determined simultaneously • Sets a limit given as follows: • Δt. Δf ≥ 1/4π • Δx2=⌠{(x-μm )2 |f(x)|2 dx /⌠|f(x)|2 dx μm is center of mass of the function f(x): μm=⌠{x| f(x)|2 dx /⌠|f(x)|2 dx

Examples of Wavelets Coiflet 4 Scaling function Wavelet function
Wavelet Transform • Wavelet Transform is defined as in other transforms: • W = <f(t),ψ(t)> = ∫f(t) ψ*(t)dt • wjk = <f(t),ψj,k(t)> = ∫f(t) ψj,k*(t)dt ψj,k(t) is a shifted and scaled wavelet function, j is scaling and k translation parameters, J,K can be any scalars. In DWT they assume integer values.
Physical Interpretation of Wavelet Transform Correlation (extent of matching) of f(t) with the wavelet ψjk(t) at scale j and location k. It carries signal information at scale j, and location k. It gives localized information of a signal. Representation of a signal in a domain described by wavelet basis functions

Wavelet Transform Window Function Interpretation Different information are extracted form the same signal using different wavelets. The need to access multitude of transforms and wavelet bases for extraction of different information of a given signal Wavelets as window functions may be considered as lenses having different resolutions. Different information are extracted by different lenses at different scales and different locations of a given signal STFT has only one window function at a given scale
