Abstract

This simplified introduction to wavelets starts with a short historical background. The continuous wavelet transform is presented. The multiresolution concept is concisety described. It is followed by the filter banks method for wavelet analysis and reconstruction. Wavelet packets are briefly presented. Some typical applications are mentioned.
