Data Compression and Wavelet Transforms
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 26 July 2016
Abstract
Efficient data compression needs analyzing functions to recognise the local resolution of the signal. They are provided by the wavelet concept. The optimal wavelet (best information concentration) is defined by the image model of the application. For the most common images in astronomy the H-transform is optimal (in the sense of Karhunen-Loeve transform). The role of the H-transform in 2-dimensional processing is the same as the Haar-transform in 1-dimension, but it is not the ‘2-dimensional Haar-transform’ found in text books.
