Introduction to Wavelets and Image Coding

This is the first volume in the series WAVELET ANALYSIS AND ITS APPLICATIONS. It is an introductory treatise on wavelet analysis, with an emphasis on spline wavelets and and time-frequency analysis. Among the basic topics covered are time frequency localization, intergral wavelet transforms, dyadic wavelets, frames, spine wavelets, orthonormal wavelet bases, and wavelet packets. Is is suitable as a textbook for a beginning course on wavelet analysis and is directed toward both mathematicians and engineers who wish to learn about the subject.
