At 8:55 I mention the low frequency components of the signal are resolved with bad time resolution. This is TRUE, however this therefore means they are resolved much better in frequency space. The point is that good frequency resolution is important for resolving low frequencies.
this is literally the shortest yet the best explanation I've seen for these methods. Thanks a lot for the great quality of information and amazing explanation.
Marvellous! I've been somewhat using an almost-wavelet transform for years without even knowing it lol. Thats because I've always been working on financial econometrics without any engineering background. When I first started, my friends who were working as QC engineers for a propellor manufacturer introduced to me a concept where I could model the cyclic components of the data not just by using variance and correlations, but more importantly, accurately modelling the durations of the periodic cycles. They explained how they can identify defects of enclosed, rotating parts without ever opening them up, and they would be correct every single time. Though, I wasn't really interested in the engineering part because I was too affixed on the concept. So I've been using a complex series of functions in python to do recursive FFT and Laplace transforms at different sliding intervals to capture time-frequency and time-resonance information for time series forecasting. I've always overlooked topics about wavelets without actually knowing how significantly they relate to me. Today, it was totally worth it to look into this subject as this will make my work so much easier. Thanks, whoever you are, keep it up!
This is a fantastic explanation. I am trying to wrap my head around wavelet analysis for my PhD (I am a Psychology student, this sort of applied mathematics is so foreign to me). But this has been really useful. Thanks so much!
I'm only halfway through, but this is already the best explanation of a wavelet transform (for image processing) that I've ever gotten. Thank you for a wonderful video.
@@AndrewNicoll how is shrunken better for low frewuency..isn't that counterintuitive..if you stretch it or zoom un you can better see high frequency shorter time components..but I guess I this case. Youndknt mean zoom in by stretched and shrinking doesn't clump or blur components together like one might validly think it would...see what i mean?
Hey, have you already used it for processing EEG signals? Im making my research about wavelet transform, and I had like to solve a problem where processing EEG signals are involved, so I was wondering if you could perhaps share your mathematical develope with me. My mail is: eduvegah13@gmail.com. If you could and want to help, please email me with any type of information you got there. Thanks!
Mr Andrew Nicoll, im very thankful to you because of this great explanation. I have been trying to understand it since a very long time and finally you have helped me. I need to know this concepts for my thesis, so thank you again!
Hi Andrew, many thanks for this amazing informative video on the "Wavelet transform". As you mentioned at the end of this video, within the Future Videos, you would cover topics like "Discrete Wavelet Transform, and Multilevel Decomposition". I searched through your page but unfortunately, I wasn't able to find them. Have you prepared those videos yet? If yes, could you please give an access link to them? I need more insight on this topic! I can not thank you enough for providing this information in public.
Great content and explanation! Finally understood the wavelets via the stft! Only had to set the speed to 1.5x and if you added 3b1b-style visualization it’d gonna be a bomb!
Nice explanation and great production value! Its really nice to see people putting there hearts into educational videos. At 8:03 you show the formula for the wavelet transform where the wavelet is complex conjugated. That would mean, that you calculate the cross correlation of the signal and the wavelet. This makes sens since you want to find out at which time the wavelet is present in the signal. However at 12:06 when you show the discreet wavelet transform there is no complex conjugate. Did you forget about it or did i get my math wrong?
I hated in the beginning, like Fourier again, I'm here for wavelets, but it is actually great, it all now fits in for me, and now I understand STFT despite it sounded exotic. The video is not flashy, even worse black letters on white screen, but it does great job, explanation is just great!
Thanks for this great tutorial ... at the 12:00 mark, in converting from a continuous to a discrete WT, we've lost the complex conjugate of the wavelet function, psi, during the conversion. why is this the case? Also, isn't a CWT/DWT similar to a cross-correlation function between two dissimilar signals, whose maximum represents the peak wavelet coefficient values?
Thanks for the great video, clear explanations for someone like me with a relatively basic background in mathematics. Looking forward to your future videos on this topic. Would you have any recommendations for further reading regarding the background and application of wavelet transforms?
Hi David, I'm glad my video was helpful! When I first started to learn about the wavelet transform (2 months ago) I found The Wavelet Tutorial (linked below) by Robi Polikar. This offers clear and concise explanations of the WT as well as the STFT and goes into more mathematical detail than I did. In terms of WT applications, I only have experience in signal processing which is mainly what the WT is used for anyway :). A Fantastic thesis by Madhur Srivastava entitled "Improving Signal Resolution and Reducing Experiment Time in Electron Spin Resonance Spectroscopy via Data Processing" is where I started to learn about its applications in signal processing. If you can get access to his thesis, I would definitely recommend. The Wavelet Tutorial: web.iitd.ac.in/~sumeet/WaveletTutorial.pdf Good Luck!
@@AndrewNicoll That text and your video helped me to understand why this type of transform is so useful! I really appreciate what you have shared! Thank you!
The finest and explicit explanation that I have seen! Thank you much, it helped me a lot ❤️❤️ Can you make a video on wavelet packet transform (WPT)? Thanks in advance!
This is the best into to wavelets I've been able to find. Very clear and concise, and helpful. Could you please do the follow-up on denoising using wavelets?
@@AndrewNicoll Excellent and valuable information. I am a computer engineering student that are working with wavelets and your explanation solved a lot of my doubts. A second part would be fantastic, thank you for all.
Yes, I need find out more about the use of Wavelet transform, for analog video signal processing, but I need to find a simple cut down way of doing this.
Hello Andrew, I really like your Video. You are really helping me with my work. Do you mind if I use screenshots of your video (e.g. of the boxes) for my work? Of course I would add the source to it. Kind regards from Germany, André
I get a u shape wave in my mechanical model of a quantum wave function. I also hear all wave function are consider before next phase change. Are wave functions various frequencies?
Thank you so much for sharing knowledge. Finaly I've undestood the wavelet transform thanks to you. I would like to apply it on my signal and calculate the new analytic signal for wavelet. I tried to do it on matlab but I have some difficulty. I've used wden function but I got I don't know if it's working well. I don't know how to use parameters. Do you have any suggestions please ? Thank you again !
Thanks so much! Unfortunately my knowledge of Matlab isn't very good so I can't help you with that one. Ive only done signal processing in Python. Sorry about that.
@@AndrewNicoll Thank you so much for your answer. Please do you know, in general : 1- how can we get the analytic signal after wavelet tranform. 2 - How do we have to choose the parameter of the wavelett trransform.
@@a.megzari I can only help you with question 2. One of the main parameters of the WT is the wavelet. Depending on what you want from your signal, you should choose a specific wavelet family (see link). Generally, I would suggest choosing a wavelet with similar morphology to your signal. In MATLAB you can use a discrete/continuous WT which is a function you can import. This will output your coefficients. The scale and time translation parameters are taken care of in the function itself. So really, your main parameter is your wavelet. Also remember you have different wavelet transforms: Decimated/Undecimated discrete WT's and continuous WT's.
