2. Wavelet
   The wavelet allows a rapidly changing time history (e.g. door slam noise) to be investigated in the frequency domain. The Fourier transform decomposes a signal using a set of sine waves as the basis functions. The Wavelet transform decomposes a signal using a set of wavelets, these are concentrated ...

5. wavelet
   A wavelet is a function which (a) maps from the real line to the real line, (b) has an average value of zero, (c) has values very near zero except over a bounded domain, and (d) is used for the purpose, analogous to Fourier analysis, implied by the following paragraphs. Unlike sine waves, wavelets t...

7. wavelet
   (mathematics) A waveform that is bounded in both frequency and duration. Wavelet tranforms provide an alternative to more traditional Fourier transforms used for analysing waveforms, e.g. sound. The Fourier transform converts a signal into a continuous series of sine waves, each of which is of cons...

8. Wavelet
   A `wavelet` is a wave-like oscillation with an amplitude that starts out at zero, increases, and then decreases back to zero. It can typically be visualized as a "brief oscillation" like one might see recorded by a seismograph or heart monitor. Generally, wavelets are purposefully crafted ...
