Time–frequency analysisIn signal processing, time–frequency analysis comprises those techniques that study a signal in both the time and frequency domains simultaneously, using various time–frequency representations. Rather than viewing a 1-dimensional signal (a function, real or complex-valued, whose domain is the real line) and some transform (another function whose domain is the real line, obtained from the original via some transform), time–frequency analysis studies a two-dimensional signal – a function whose domain is the two-dimensional real plane, obtained from the signal via a time–frequency transform.
Wavelet transformIn mathematics, a wavelet series is a representation of a square-integrable (real- or complex-valued) function by a certain orthonormal series generated by a wavelet. This article provides a formal, mathematical definition of an orthonormal wavelet and of the integral wavelet transform. A function is called an orthonormal wavelet if it can be used to define a Hilbert basis, that is a complete orthonormal system, for the Hilbert space of square integrable functions.
Réseau complexeEn théorie des graphes, un réseau complexe est un réseau possédant une architecture et une topologie complexe et irrégulière. Comme tous les réseaux, ils sont composés de nœuds (ou sommets ou points) représentant des objets, interconnectés par des liens (ou arêtes ou lignes). Ces réseaux sont des représentations abstraites des relations principalement présentes dans la vie réelle dans une grande diversité de systèmes biologiques et technologiques.
Ondelettethumb|Ondelette de Daubechies d'ordre 2. Une ondelette est une fonction à la base de la décomposition en ondelettes, décomposition similaire à la transformée de Fourier à court terme, utilisée dans le traitement du signal. Elle correspond à l'idée intuitive d'une fonction correspondant à une petite oscillation, d'où son nom. Cependant, elle comporte deux différences majeures avec la transformée de Fourier à court terme : elle peut mettre en œuvre une base différente, non forcément sinusoïdale ; il existe une relation entre la largeur de l'enveloppe et la fréquence des oscillations : on effectue ainsi une homothétie de l'ondelette, et non seulement de l'oscillation.
Discrete wavelet transformIn numerical analysis and functional analysis, a discrete wavelet transform (DWT) is any wavelet transform for which the wavelets are discretely sampled. As with other wavelet transforms, a key advantage it has over Fourier transforms is temporal resolution: it captures both frequency and location information (location in time). Haar wavelet The first DWT was invented by Hungarian mathematician Alfréd Haar. For an input represented by a list of numbers, the Haar wavelet transform may be considered to pair up input values, storing the difference and passing the sum.
Voltage spikeIn electrical engineering, spikes are fast, short duration electrical transients in voltage (voltage spikes), current (current spikes), or transferred energy (energy spikes) in an electrical circuit. Fast, short duration electrical transients (overvoltages) in the electric potential of a circuit are typically caused by Lightning strikes Power outages Tripped circuit breakers Short circuits Power transitions in other large equipment on the same power line Malfunctions caused by the power company Electromagnetic pulses (EMP) with electromagnetic energy distributed typically up to the 100 kHz and 1 MHz frequency range.
Théorie des réseauxvignette|Graphe partiel de l'internet, basé sur les données de opte.org du 15 janvier 2005 (voir description de l'image pour plus de détails) La théorie des réseaux est l'étude de graphes en tant que représentation d'une relation symétrique ou asymétrique entre des objets discrets. Elle s'inscrit dans la théorie des graphes : un réseau peut alors être défini comme étant un graphe où les nœuds (sommets) ou les arêtes (ou « arcs », lorsque le graphe est orienté) ont des attributs, comme une étiquette (tag).
Gabor waveletGabor wavelets are wavelets invented by Dennis Gabor using complex functions constructed to serve as a basis for Fourier transforms in information theory applications. They are very similar to Morlet wavelets. They are also closely related to Gabor filters. The important property of the wavelet is that it minimizes the product of its standard deviations in the time and frequency domain. Put another way, the uncertainty in information carried by this wavelet is minimized.
Morlet waveletIn mathematics, the Morlet wavelet (or Gabor wavelet) is a wavelet composed of a complex exponential (carrier) multiplied by a Gaussian window (envelope). This wavelet is closely related to human perception, both hearing and vision. Wavelet#History In 1946, physicist Dennis Gabor, applying ideas from quantum physics, introduced the use of Gaussian-windowed sinusoids for time-frequency decomposition, which he referred to as atoms, and which provide the best trade-off between spatial and frequency resolution.
Continuous wavelet transformIn mathematics, the continuous wavelet transform (CWT) is a formal (i.e., non-numerical) tool that provides an overcomplete representation of a signal by letting the translation and scale parameter of the wavelets vary continuously. The continuous wavelet transform of a function at a scale (a>0) and translational value is expressed by the following integral where is a continuous function in both the time domain and the frequency domain called the mother wavelet and the overline represents operation of complex conjugate.
