Noiselet
Noiselets are functions which gives the worst case behavior for the Haar wavelet packet analysis. In other words, noiselets are totally incompressible by the Haar wavelet packet analysis.[1] Like the canonical and Fourier bases, which have an incoherent property, noiselets are perfectly incoherent with the Haar basis. In addition, they have a fast algorithm for implementation, making them useful as a sampling basis for signals that are sparse in the Haar domain.
Definition
The mother bases function is defined as:
The family of noislets is constructed recursively as follows:
Property of fn
- is an orthogonal basis for , where is the space of all possible approximations at the resolution of functions in .
- For each ,
Matrix construction of noiselets[2]
Noiselet can be extended and discretized. The extended function is defined as follows:
Use extended noiselet , we can generate the noiselet matrix , where n is a power of two :
Here denotes the Kronecker product.
Suppose , we can find that is equal .
The elements of the noiselet matrices take discrete values from one of two four-element sets:
2D noiselet transform
2D noiselet transforms are obtained through the Kronecker product of 1D noiselet transform:
Applications
Noiselet has some properties that make them ideal for applications:
- The noiselet matrix can be derived in .
- Noiselet completely spread out spectrum and have the perfectly incoherent with Haar wavelets.
- Noiselet is conjugate symmetric and is unitary.
The complementarity of wavelets and noiselets means that noiselets can be used in compressed sensing to reconstruct a signal (such as an image) which has a compact representation in wavelets.[3] MRI data can be acquired in noiselet domain, and, subsequently, images can be reconstructed from undersampled data using compressive-sensing reconstruction.[4]
