Some typical but not required properties of wavelets orthogonality both wavelet transform matrix and wavelet functions can be orthogonal. Wavelets have been effectively utilized as a powerful tool in many diverse fields, including approximation theory. According to this algorithm, which is called a tidwt, only the scale parameter is sampled along the dyadic sequence 2 j j. There are two filters involved, one is the wavelet filter, and the other is the scaling filter. The haar wavelet transform on this signal follows the procedure shown in figure 1.

The wavelet transform is a relatively new concept about 10 years old, but yet there are quite a few articles and books written on them.
The timebandwidth product of the wavelet transform is the square of the input signal and for most practical applications this is not a desirable property. In practical cases, the gabor wavelet is used as the discrete wavelet transform with either continuous or discrete input signal, while there is an intrinsic disadvantage of the gabor wavelets which makes this discrete case beyond the discrete wavelet constraints. The main advantage of using wavelets is that they are localized in space. The most basic wavelet transform is the haar transform described by alfred haar in 1910. The use of two dimensional 2 d continuous wavelet analysis has not been extensive for image processing using wavelets. To transform images we can use two dimensional wavelets or apply the one dimensional transform to the rows and columns of the image successively as separable two dimensional transform.
