Wavelet Packet Analysis for Signal and Image Processing

Detailed Documentation

In the field of signal and image processing, wavelet packet analysis serves as a widely utilized tool. It decomposes signals or images into multiple frequency subbands, enabling enhanced characterization and understanding of their features and behaviors. Wavelet packet analysis supports various applications including noise filtering, data compression, pattern recognition, and signal recovery. Implementation typically involves using functions like wpdec for decomposition and wprcoef for reconstruction in MATLAB, which apply filter banks recursively to split signal components across balanced binary trees. Furthermore, wavelet packet analysis can be integrated with complementary techniques such as artificial neural networks and fuzzy logic systems to achieve more robust data processing and analytical capabilities. For example, wavelet coefficients can be fed as features into neural network classifiers for improved pattern recognition accuracy.
