Lately there was an explosion of curiosity in wavelets, in a variety of fields in technology and engineering and past. This booklet brings jointly contributions from researchers from disparate fields, either with the intention to show to a large readership the present breadth of labor in wavelets, and to inspire cross-fertilization of rules. It demonstrates the surely interdisplinary nature of wavelet study and functions. specific parts lined comprise turbulence, records, time sequence research, sign and photograph processing, the body structure of imaginative and prescient, astronomy, economics and acoustics. a few of the paintings makes use of commonplace wavelet methods and in different instances new technique is built. The papers have been initially awarded at a Royal Society dialogue assembly, to a wide and enthusiastic viewers of experts and non-specialists.

For this we need to specify some locally consistent parametrization over the support of the difference operator. Consider a triangular mesh P in R3 and let f : 'P —> R. We would like to define the second difference operator /->,;/ for an edge e from the triangulation 'P. e. flattening) for two neighbouring triangles at a time. /, k\ and (/, /, /). We use the 'hinge map' 16 Wavelets on irregular point sets Fig. 12: Burt-Adelson-style pyramid scheme. to build a pair of adjacent triangles in the plane.

For that purpose, the wavelet transform is a natural tool to perform space-scale analysis. , 1991). , 1998a): where the overline stands for ensemble average and u> for the centred process u> — a>. 2 Analysis of random cascades using space-scale correlation functions (Arneodo et al. 1998a, b) Cascade processes can be defined in various ways. Periodic wavelet orthogonal bases (Meyer, 1990; Daubechies, 1992) provide a general framework in which they can be constructed easily (Benzi et al. 1993a; Roux 1996; Arneodo et al 1997, 1998b, c).

For each h, let us call D(h) the fractal dimension of the set for which Svi(x) ~ /*. 1), one can bridge the so-called singularity spectrum D(h) and the set of scaling exponents $p by a Legendre transform: D(h) = mmp(ph — t,p + 1). From the properties of the Legendre transform, a nonlinear fp spectrum is equivalent to the assumption that there is more than a single scaling exponent h. Let us note that from low- to moderate-Reynolds-number turbulence, the inertial scaling range is small and the evaluation of i;p is not very accurate.
