Figure 13.10.2. More wavelets, here generated from the sum of two unit vectors, e10 + e58, which<br />

are in different hierarchical levels of scale, and also at different spatial positions. DAUB4 wavelets (a)<br />

are defined by a filter in coordinate space (equation 13.10.5), while Lemarie wavelets (b) are defined by<br />

a filter most easily written in Fourier space (equation 13.10.14).<br />

that a set of wavelets can represent. For example, DAUB4 can represent (piecewise)<br />

linear functions of arbitrary slope: in the correct linear combinations, the cusps all<br />

cancel out. Every increase of two in the number of coefficients allows one higher<br />

order of polynomial to be exactly represented.<br />

Figure 13.10.2 shows the result of performing the inverse DWT on the input<br />

vector e10 + e58, again for the two different particular wavelets. Since 10 lies early<br />

in the hierarchical range of 9 − 16, that wavelet lies on the left side of the picture.<br />

Since 58 lies in a later (smaller-scale) hierarchy, it is a narrower wavelet; in the range<br />

of 33–64 it is towards the end, so it lies on the right side of the picture. Note that<br />

smaller-scale wavelets are taller, so as to have the same squared integral.<br />

Wavelet Filters in the Fourier Domain<br />

The Fourier transform of a set of filter coefficients c j is given by<br />

H(ω) = �<br />

cje ijω<br />

j<br />

(13.10.8)<br />

Here H is a function periodic in 2π, and it has the same meaning as before: It is<br />

the wavelet filter, now written in the Fourier domain. A very useful fact is that the<br />

orthogonality conditions for the c’s (e.g., equation 13.10.3 above) collapse to two<br />

simple relations in the Fourier domain,<br />
