Introduction to Wavelets

Taking Fourier's torch forward...



Background: Why Wavelets?

  • I can bet a great deal of money, that as Electrical Engineers, the first name that comes to mind when someone says "SIGNAL PROCESSING" is Fourier.
  • Jean Baptiste Joseph Fourier (1768 - 1830) laid a rock-solid foundation for signal analysis, when he claimed that all (continuously differentiable) signals can be represented as the sums of sines and cosines.
  • It is hard to imagine the iPod generation without the work this great man did over 2 centuries ago.
