Abstract

A simple construction of an orthonormal basis starting with a so-called mother wavelet, together with an efficient implementation gained the wavelet decomposition easy acceptance and generated a great research interest in its applications. An orthonormal basis may not, however, always be a suitable representation of a signal, particularly when time (or space) invariance is a required property. The conventional way around this problem is to use a redundant decomposition. We address the time-invariance problem for orthonormal wavelet transforms and propose an extension to wavelet packet decompositions. We show that it,is possible to achieve time invariance and preserve the orthonormality. We subsequently propose an efficient approach to obtain such a decomposition. We demonstrate the importance of our method by considering some application examples in signal reconstruction and time delay estimation
