Abstract

Wavelets are powerful tools for decomposition, analysis, and processing of digital signals. The wavelet transform represents the time-domain of a signal in terms of wavelet coefficients, converting it into a frequency-time representation. Wavelet coefficients can be utilized as part of a frequency-dependent method to achieve various signal processing effects. Additionally, the inverse wavelet transform converts the obtained wavelet coefficients back into the time-domain representation to obtain a modified signal. In this article, after a brief overview of the Fourier method and wavelet transform, the Haar wavelet and Daubechies wavelet are described. Following that, several signal processing techniques using wavelets, including noise reduction, wavelet denoising, data compression, musical effects, and a Java-based wavelet processor, will be examined.
