[edit] Introduction
Complex wavelets are superior to real-valued wavelets because they are nearly shift-invariant. Complex wavelets yield amplitude-phase information in a similar way as the Fourier transform does. In contrast to the Fourier transform, wavelets allow to analyse the signal locally and thus can be applied to signals with a non-stationary statistic (such as images of a natural scene). In the same way as a one-dimensional signal requires complex numbers to represent the local structure of the signal, two-dimensional signals require hypercomplex numbers. Kingsbury has developed the Dual-Tree Complex Wavelet Transform which allows to recursively compute complex wavelet transforms. Analogous to one-dimensional analysis requiring complex values, two-dimensional analysis requires 4-valued complex numbers (hypercomplex values). Bülow, Kingsbury, and others already have successfully used hypercomplex numbers for analysing two-dimensional signals.
[edit] Implementation
HornetsEye now contains an implementation of the Dual-Tree Complex Wavelet Transform. The implementation makes use of Hilbert transform pairs of wavelet bases. The wavelet transform was implemented with HornetsEye's **MultiArray** class.
[edit] Wavelet Editor
An editor for visualising linear combinations of wavelets was implemented. The code requires qt4-qtruby, and HornetsEye. The source code is part of the HornetsEye source package. You may need to compile the user interface design file using rbuic4 like this:
rbuic4 waveletEdit.ui > ui_waveletEdit.rb
You can view the source files in their current state at http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~wedesoft/hornetseye/trunk/files in the subdirectory samples/hypercomplex.
