Utilizing its first and second derivatives enables precise identification and characterization of abrupt changes in signals, with implementations often involving convolution operations and derivative computations for feature extraction.
Detailed Documentation
In this context, we employ a low-pass smoothing function such as the Gaussian function as a wavelet basis for singularity point analysis. By examining the first and second derivatives of this function, we gain deeper insights into the characteristics and behavior of singularity points. This analytical approach facilitates comprehensive investigation of abrupt changes and yields more accurate results. Implementation typically involves defining the Gaussian kernel, computing its derivatives numerically or analytically, and applying convolution techniques to detect signal discontinuities. Key functions in programming environments like MATLAB or Python would include gaussian filter generation, gradient calculations, and wavelet transform applications for multi-scale analysis.
