Abstract As a multi-resolution signal decomposition and analysis technique, the wavelet transforms have been already introduced to vibration signal processing. In this paper, a comparison on the time-scale map analysis is made between the discrete and the continuous wavelet transform. The orthogonal wavelet transform decomposes the vibration signal onto a series of orthogonal wavelet functions and the number of wavelets on one wavelet level is different from those on the other levels. Since the grids are unevenly distributed on the time-scale map, it is shown that a representation pattern of a vibration component on the map may be significantly altered or even be broken down into pieces when the signal has a shift along the time axis. On contrary, there is no such uneven distribution of grids on the continuous wavelet time-scale map, so that the representation pattern of a vibration signal component will not change its shape when the signal component shifts along the time axis. Therefore, the patterns in the continuous wavelet time-scale map are more easily recognised by human visual inspection or computerised automatic diagnosis systems. Using a Gaussian enveloped oscillation wavelet, the wavelet transform is capable of retaining the frequency meaning used in the spectral analysis, while making the interpretation of patterns on the time-scale maps easier.

The characteristics of the continuous wavelet transform scalogram of the aeroengine vibration signal could show the fault symptomatic in the 2-dimensional space and identify the rub-impact fault of the aeroengine. In order to get the precise feature for fault analysis, the statistical features of the scalogram which incorporated the Tamura vision features were proposed to diagnose the aeroengine rub-impact faults quantitatively. The experiments on the aeroengine test data demonstrate these statistic characteristics of the scalogram effectively diagnose the rub-impact faults.

This paper presents a new methodology for computing a time-frequency map for nonstationary signals using the continuous-wavelet transform (CWT). The conventional method of producing a time-frequency map using the short time Fourier transform (STFT) limits time-frequency resolution by a predefined window length. In contrast, the CWT method does not require preselecting a window length and does not have a fixed time-frequency resolution over the time-frequency space. CWT uses dilation and translation of a wavelet to produce a time-scale map. A single scale encompasses a frequency band and is inversely proportional to the time support of the dilated wavelet. Previous workers have converted a time-scale map into a time-frequency map by taking the center frequencies of each scale. We transform the time-scale map by taking the Fourier transform of the inverse CWT to produce a time-frequency map. Thus, a time-scale map is converted into a time-frequency map in which the amplitudes of individual frequencies rather than frequency bands are represented. We refer to such a map as the time-frequency CWT (TFCWT). We validate our approach with a nonstationary synthetic example and compare the results with the STFT and a typical CWT spectrum. Two field examples illustrate that the TFCWT potentially can be used to detect frequency shadows caused by hydrocarbons and to identify subtle stratigraphic features for reservoir characterization.

One of the most fascinating developments in the field of multirate signal processing has been the establishment of its link to the discrete wavelet transform. Indeed, it is precisely this link that has been responsible for the rapid application of wavelets in fields such as image compression. The objective of this chapter is to provide an overview of the wavelet transform and develop its link to multirate filtering. The birth of the field of wavelet transforms is now attributed to the seminal paper by Grossman and Morlet (1984) detailing the continuous wavelet transform or CWT. The CWT of a square integrable function is obtained by integrating it over regions defined by translations and dilations of a windowing function called the mother wavelet. The idea of representing functions or signals in terms of dilations can be found even in engineering articles dating back by several years, for example, Helstrom (1966). However, Grossman and Morlet’s formulation was more complete and was motivated by potential application to modeling seismic data. The next step of significance was the discovery of orthogonal wavelet basis functions and their role in defining multi-resolution representations (Daubechies 1988; Meyer 1992). Daubechies also provided a method for constructing compactly supported wavelets. Mallat (1989) established the fact that coefficients of orthogonal wavelet expansions can be obtained through multirate filtering which paved the way for widespread investigation of using wavelet transforms in signal and image processing applications. The objective of the chapter is to provide an overview of the relationship between multirate filtering and wavelet transformation. We begin with a brief account of the CWT, then go through the discrete wavelet transformation (DWT) followed by derivation of the relationship between the DWT and multirate filtering. The chapter concludes with an account of selected applications in digital image processing.

Abstract In this paper, we consider the Weinstein intertwining operator ℜa, dW and its dual tR a,dW. Using these operators, we give relations between the Weinstein and the classical continuous wavelet transforms. Finally, using the Weinstein continuous wavelet transform, we deduce the formulas which give the inverse operators of R a,dW and tR a,dW.

An abstract function space is proposed and discussed. One-dimensional continuous wavelet transform is applied to the continuous wavelet transforms of the multivariable abstract function spaces .The reconstruction formulas of it produced by the integral kernel of the transform multivariable abstract functions and those of it produced by the integral kernel of the multivariable abstract functions which are difference from the transform multivariable abstract functions are obtained in the weak topology as well as in the sense of norm convergence.

Theoretical and practical advances in time–frequency analysis, in general, and the continuous wavelet transform (CWT), in particular, have increased over the last two decades. Although the Morlet wavelet has been the default choice for wavelet analysis, a new family of analytic wavelets, known as generalized Morse wavelets, which subsume several other analytic wavelet families, have been increasingly employed due to their time and frequency localization benefits and their utility in isolating and extracting quantifiable features in the time–frequency domain. The current paper describes two practical applications of analysing the features obtained from the generalized Morse CWT: (i) electromyography, for isolating important features in muscle bursts during skating, and (ii) electrocardiography, for assessing heart rate variability, which is represented as the ridge of the main transform frequency band. These features are subsequently quantified to facilitate exploration of the underlying physiological processes from which the signals were generated. This article is part of the theme issue ‘Redundancy rules: the continuous wavelet transform comes of age’.

This paper presents the analysis and comparisons of the short time Fourier transform (STFT) and the continuous wavelet transform techniques (CWT) to the four sounds analysis (S1, S2, S3 and S4). It is found that the spectrogram short-time Fourier transform (STFT), cannot perfectly detect the internals components of these sounds that the continuous wavelet transform. However, the short time Fourier transform can provide correctly the extent of time and frequency of these four sounds. Thus, the STFT and the CWT techniques provide more features and characteristics of the sounds that will hemp physicians to obtain qualitative and quantitative measurements of the time-frequency characteristics.
