72-459: PGF ( Progressive Graphics File ) is a wavelet -based bitmapped image format that employs lossless and lossy data compression . PGF was created to improve upon and replace the JPEG format. It was developed at the same time as JPEG 2000 but with a focus on speed over compression ratio . PGF can operate at higher compression ratios without taking more encoding/decoding time and without generating

See a list of some Continuous wavelets . It is computationally impossible to analyze a signal using all wavelet coefficients, so one may wonder if it

504-410: A band-pass filter and scaling that for each level halves its bandwidth. This creates the problem that in order to cover the entire spectrum, an infinite number of levels would be required. The scaling function filters the lowest level of the transform and ensures all the spectrum is covered. See for a detailed explanation. For a wavelet with compact support, φ( t ) can be considered finite in length and

576-404: A generalization of run-length encoding that can take advantage of runs of strings of characters (such as BWWBWWBWWBWW ). Run-length encoding can be expressed in multiple ways to accommodate data properties as well as additional compression algorithms. For instance, one popular method encodes run lengths for runs of two or more characters only, using an "escape" symbol to identify runs, or using

648-561: A laser) encounters a slit/aperture that is comparable in size to its wavelength . This is due to the addition, or interference , of different points on the wavefront (or, equivalently, each wavelet) that travel by paths of different lengths to the registering surface. Multiple, closely spaced openings (e.g., a diffraction grating ), can result in a complex pattern of varying intensity. The word wavelet has been used for decades in digital signal processing and exploration geophysics. The equivalent French word ondelette meaning "small wave"

720-589: A macroblock, starting with the most significant bits and progressing to less significant bits. In this encoding process, each bit-plane of the macroblock gets encoded in two so-called coding passes , first encoding bits of significant coefficients, then refinement bits of significant coefficients. Clearly, in lossless mode all bit-planes have to be encoded, and no bit-planes can be dropped. Only significant coefficients are compressed with an adaptive run-length/Rice (RLR) coder, because they contain long runs of zeros. The RLR coder with parameter k (logarithmic length of

It uses only integer coefficients, so the output does not require rounding (quantization) and so it does not introduce any quantization noise. After the wavelet transform, the coefficients are scalar- quantized to reduce the amount of bits to represent them, at

There are several self-proclaimed advantages of PGF over the ordinary JPEG standard: The author published libPGF via a SourceForge , under the GNU Lesser General Public License version 2.0. Xeraina offers a free Windows console encoder and decoder, and PGF viewers based on WIC for 32bit and 64bit Windows platforms. Other WIC applications including File Explorer are able to display PGF images after installing this viewer. Digikam

A hypothetical scan line , with B representing a black pixel and W representing white, might read as follows: With a run-length encoding (RLE) data compression algorithm applied to the above hypothetical scan line, it can be rendered as follows: This can be interpreted as

1224-494: A sequence of twelve Ws, one B, twelve Ws, three Bs, etc., and represents the original 67 characters in only 18. While the actual format used for the storage of images is generally binary rather than ASCII characters like this, the principle remains the same. Even binary data files can be compressed with this method; file format specifications often dictate repeated bytes in files as padding space. However, newer compression methods such as DEFLATE often use LZ77 -based algorithms,

1296-426: A signal with some event in it, one cannot assign simultaneously an exact time and frequency response scale to that event. The product of the uncertainties of time and frequency response scale has a lower bound. Thus, in the scaleogram of a continuous wavelet transform of this signal, such an event marks an entire region in the time-scale plane, instead of just one point. Also, discrete wavelet bases may be considered in

1368-406: A spatial area of the image. The quantized sub-bands are split further into blocks , rectangular regions in the wavelet domain. They are typically selected in a way that the coefficients within them across the sub-bands form approximately spatial blocks in the (reconstructed) image domain and collected in a fixed size macroblock . The encoder has to encode the bits of all quantized coefficients of

That fax colour coding standard, which along with other techniques is incorporated into Modified Huffman coding , is relatively efficient because most faxed documents are primarily white space, with occasional interruptions of black. RLE has a space complexity of ⁠ O ( n ) {\displaystyle O(n)} ⁠ , where n

1512-557: A subtly different formulation (after Delprat). Restriction： The wavelet transform is often compared with the Fourier transform , in which signals are represented as a sum of sinusoids. In fact, the Fourier transform can be viewed as a special case of the continuous wavelet transform with the choice of the mother wavelet ψ ( t ) = e − 2 π i t {\displaystyle \psi (t)=e^{-2\pi it}} .

In classical physics , the diffraction phenomenon is described by the Huygens–Fresnel principle that treats each point in a propagating wavefront as a collection of individual spherical wavelets.

These filterbanks may contain either finite impulse response (FIR) or infinite impulse response (IIR) filters. The wavelets forming a continuous wavelet transform (CWT) are subject to the uncertainty principle of Fourier analysis respective sampling theory: given

Daubechies and Symlet wavelets can be defined by the scaling filter. Wavelets are defined by the wavelet function ψ( t ) (i.e. the mother wavelet) and scaling function φ( t ) (also called father wavelet) in the time domain. The wavelet function is in effect

For instance, Mexican hat wavelets can be defined by a wavelet function. See a list of a few continuous wavelets . Run-length encoding Run-length encoding ( RLE ) is a form of lossless data compression in which runs of data (consecutive occurrences of

1944-537: Is essential that the wavelet filters do not access signal values from the future as well as that minimal temporal latencies can be obtained. Time-causal wavelets representations have been developed by Szu et al and Lindeberg, with the latter method also involving a memory-efficient time-recursive implementation. For practical applications, and for efficiency reasons, one prefers continuously differentiable functions with compact support as mother (prototype) wavelet (functions). However, to satisfy analytical requirements (in

2016-408: Is only useful for certain types of signals. ) A wavelet (or a wavelet family) can be defined in various ways: An orthogonal wavelet is entirely defined by the scaling filter – a low-pass finite impulse response (FIR) filter of length 2 N and sum 1. In biorthogonal wavelets, separate decomposition and reconstruction filters are defined. For analysis with orthogonal wavelets the high pass filter

One such system is the affine system for some real parameters a > 1, b > 0. The corresponding discrete subset of the halfplane consists of all the points ( a , nb a ) with m , n in Z .

2304-399: Is that wavelets are localized in both time and frequency whereas the standard Fourier transform is only localized in frequency . The short-time Fourier transform (STFT) is similar to the wavelet transform, in that it is also time and frequency localized, but there are issues with the frequency/time resolution trade-off. In particular, assuming a rectangular window region, one may think of

2376-416: Is the condition for square norm one. For ψ to be a wavelet for the continuous wavelet transform (see there for exact statement), the mother wavelet must satisfy an admissibility criterion (loosely speaking, a kind of half-differentiability) in order to get a stably invertible transform. For the discrete wavelet transform , one needs at least the condition that the wavelet series is a representation of

2448-490: Is the size of the input data. Run-length encoding compresses data by reducing the physical size of a repeating string of characters. This process involves converting the input data into a compressed format by identifying and counting consecutive occurrences of each character. The steps are as follows: The decoding process involves reconstructing the original data from the encoded format by repeating characters according to their counts. The steps are as follows: Consider

If this wavelet were to be convolved with a signal created from the recording of a melody, then the resulting signal would be useful for determining when the middle C note appeared in

As orthogonal complement, W m roughly covers the band [1/2 , 1/2 ]. From those inclusions and orthogonality relations, especially V 0 ⊕ W 0 = V − 1 {\displaystyle V_{0}\oplus W_{0}=V_{-1}} , follows

That, Meyer's, and two other examples of mother wavelets are: The subspace of scale a or frequency band [1/ a , 2/ a ] is generated by the functions (sometimes called child wavelets ) ψ a , b ( t ) = 1 a ψ ( t − b a ) , {\displaystyle \psi _{a,b}(t)={\frac {1}{\sqrt {a}}}\psi \left({\frac {t-b}{a}}\right),} where

2880-448: The STFT. All STFT basis elements maintain a uniform spectral and temporal support for all temporal shifts or offsets, thereby attaining an equal resolution in time for lower and higher frequencies. The resolution is purely determined by the sampling width. In contrast, the wavelet transform's multiresolutional properties enables large temporal supports for lower frequencies while maintaining short temporal widths for higher frequencies by

It does not work well on continuous-tone images (which use very many colours) such as photographs, although JPEG uses it on the coefficients that remain after transforming and quantizing image blocks. Common formats for run-length encoded data include Truevision TGA , PackBits (by Apple, used in MacPaint ), PCX and ILBM . The International Telecommunication Union also describes

On the previous example, this would give the following: This would be interpreted as a run of twelve Ws, a B, a run of twelve Ws, a run of three Bs, etc. In data where runs are less frequent, this can significantly improve the compression rate. One other matter is the application of additional compression algorithms. Even with

PGF supports a wide variety of color models: PGF claims to achieve an improved compression quality over JPEG adding or improving features such as scalability.

3384-430: The context of other forms of the uncertainty principle. Wavelet transforms are broadly divided into three classes: continuous, discrete and multiresolution-based. In continuous wavelet transforms , a given signal of finite energy is projected on a continuous family of frequency bands (or similar subspaces of the L function space L ( R ) ). For instance the signal may be represented on every frequency band of

These functions are often incorrectly referred to as the basis functions of the (continuous) transform. In fact, as in the continuous Fourier transform, there is no basis in the continuous wavelet transform. Time-frequency interpretation uses

3600-462: The decomposition process is mathematically reversible. Thus, sets of complementary wavelets are useful in wavelet-based compression /decompression algorithms, where it is desirable to recover the original information with minimal loss. In formal terms, this representation is a wavelet series representation of a square-integrable function with respect to either a complete , orthonormal set of basis functions , or an overcomplete set or frame of

3672-452: The design to handle a very large range of effective bit rates is one of the strengths of PGF. For example, to reduce the number of bits for a picture below a certain amount, the advisable thing to do with the first JPEG standard is to reduce the resolution of the input image before encoding it — something that is ordinarily not necessary for that purpose when using PGF because of its wavelet scalability properties. The PGF process chain contains

This complexity only applies when the filter size has no relation to the signal size. A wavelet without compact support such as the Shannon wavelet would require O( N ). (For instance, a logarithmic Fourier Transform also exists with O( N ) complexity, but the original signal must be sampled logarithmically in time, which

This means that there has to exist an auxiliary function , the father wavelet φ in L ( R ), and that a is an integer. A typical choice is a = 2 and b = 1. The most famous pair of father and mother wavelets is the Daubechies 4-tap wavelet. Note that not every orthonormal discrete wavelet basis can be associated to

The parameter that can be changed to set the final quality is the quantization step: the greater the step, the greater is the compression and the loss of quality. With a quantization step that equals 1, no quantization is performed (it is used in lossless compression). In contrast to JPEG 2000, PGF uses only powers of two, therefore

4104-451: The file size. RLE may also refer in particular to an early graphics file format supported by CompuServe for compressing black and white images, that was widely supplanted by their later Graphics Interchange Format (GIF). RLE also refers to a little-used image format in Windows 3.x that is saved with the file extension rle ; it is a run-length encoded bitmap, and the format was used for

PGF uses a fully reversible modified YUV color transform. The transformation matrices are: The chrominance components can be, but do not necessarily have to be, down-scaled in resolution. The color components are then wavelet transformed to an arbitrary depth. In contrast to JPEG 1992 which uses an 8x8 block-size discrete cosine transform , PGF uses one reversible wavelet transform:

4320-409: The form [ f , 2 f ] for all positive frequencies f > 0. Then, the original signal can be reconstructed by a suitable integration over all the resulting frequency components. The frequency bands or subspaces (sub-bands) are scaled versions of a subspace at scale 1.

The result of the previous process is a collection of sub-bands which represent several approximation scales. A sub-band is a set of coefficients — integer numbers which represent aspects of the image associated with a certain frequency range as well as

4608-402: The runs extracted, the frequencies of different characters may be large, allowing for further compression; however, if the run lengths are written in the file in the locations where the runs occurred, the presence of these numbers interrupts the normal flow and makes it harder to compress. To overcome this, some run-length encoders separate the data and escape symbols from the run lengths, so that

4680-564: The same data value) are stored as a single occurrence of that data value and a count of its consecutive occurrences, rather than as the original run. As an imaginary example of the concept, when encoding an image built up from colored dots, the sequence "green green green green green green green green green" is shortened to "green x 9". This is most efficient on data that contains many such runs, for example, simple graphic images such as icons, line drawings, games, and animations. For files that do not have many runs, encoding them with RLE could increase

4752-445: The scaling properties of the wavelet transform. This property extends conventional time-frequency analysis into time-scale analysis. The discrete wavelet transform is less computationally complex , taking O( N ) time as compared to O( N  log  N ) for the fast Fourier transform (FFT). This computational advantage is not inherent to the transform, but reflects the choice of a logarithmic division of frequency, in contrast to

4824-561: The sense that ∫ − ∞ ∞ | ψ ( t ) | d t < ∞ {\displaystyle \int _{-\infty }^{\infty }|\psi (t)|\,dt<\infty } and ∫ − ∞ ∞ | ψ ( t ) | 2 d t < ∞ . {\displaystyle \int _{-\infty }^{\infty }|\psi (t)|^{2}\,dt<\infty .} Being in this space ensures that one can formulate

As a mathematical tool, wavelets can be used to extract information from many kinds of data, including audio signals and images. Sets of wavelets are needed to analyze data fully. "Complementary" wavelets decompose a signal without gaps or overlaps so that
