An easily accessible introduction to wavelet analysis, this book explains the subject using algebra and some basic calculus, and stresses applications, such as speech compression, removing noise from audio and images, image compression, and image enhancement. Software is available for download that will permit recording, playing, and modifying sound files using wavelet techniques, plus a facility for displaying, printing, and modifying standard IEEE gray field images. New sections include: Biorthogonal Wavelets, The JPEG200 Image Compression Standard, Spectrograms, Analyzing Speech and Music with Spectrograms, The Best-Basis Algorithm, and Thresholding Spectrograms for Denoising.
