Everything you always wanted to know about wavelets
and did not dare to ask: application of wavelets to multiscale
analysis and non-linear estimation
Earth Resources Laboratory, EAPS
In this 4-week 16-hour special course we will review the application
of wavelets and related transforms to geophysical data analysis and
estimation. Extensive use will be made of Mallat's ``A Wavelet
tour of signal processing''. Topics include: fractal analysis by
the continuous wavelet transform; construction of discrete wavelets
from (fractional) splines (including a lecture by Michael Unser on Thursday
March 7 at 11:00); design of non-linear mini-max estimators by
thresholding. Applications include: scaling analysis sedimentary
records and seismic data; edge-preserving denoising and
deconvolution; hands-on examples using Donoho's WaveLab (in
matlab).
The seminar series will start Monday March 4 Mondays (12:30-2:30)
and Thursdays noon-2. Exact location within ERL (E34) will be announced.
