As you can tell from the embarassing date at the bottom of this page, it hasn't
been updated in 15 years, i.e. about 15 computer generations. Fortunately for those
who've had the misfortune to cyberstumble onto this, someone has provided a recent
update about wavelets. It can be found at:
http://www.surveillance-video.com/wavelet-feb-2010.html
In addition to providing you with better and much more current information, Karen's
page allows me to slack off on this page for another 15 years, and we all owe her
a debt of gratitude.
Selecting the following will guide you to sources (or meta-sources)
for information about wavelets and their applications. You really
might want to give this a skip and go straight to the wavelet pages
of
Amara Graps. She's putting a lot of effort into both maintaining
and expanding her pages and I'm too busy with my other pages to
do much more than occasionally check the links to see if they're
still valid.
Manuals,
technical reports, theses etc.
Software packages or single programs
available on the net.
Sites collecting information about
wavelet info/software.
Sites pursuing research into
some area of wavelet applications.
Links to locations
of archives, repositories, and other collections of documents.

Annotated Bibliography of skb
- This is a bibliography in BibTeX format that I've
created. It contains entries for papers published in
journals and conference proceedings as well as entries
for preprints and technical reports available via the
Web. Many of the articles include their abstracts and
occasionally even some additional information. Some of
the preprints and articles indicated as available on the
Web may no longer be available. I can't continually keep track
of such things, but I've tried to give enough information so
you can at least contact the author, if only via snailmail.

Wavelets: An Elementary Introduction and Examples
- This paper by M. Ueda and S. Lodha introduces wavelets
via scaling functions using the theory of multiresolution
analysis. The primary focus is to describe many examples
of scaling functions and their corresponding wavelets without
proofs. The two-scale reconstruction and decomposition
relations are described in order to provide the reader with
a quick working knowledge of wavelets. The filename of
this report is ucsc-crl-94-47.ps.Z.
