Set Coefficients of Discrete Wavelet Transform VI

Regarding the Advanced Signal processing toolbox I have a query regarding the one of the examples that can be found in the Wavelet Analysis/Getting Started exaples folder.
In this exaple a DWT is performed on a Doppler signal using the Discrete wavelet Transform VI. Secondly the Get Coefficient of Discrete Wavelet Transform VI is used to display the coefficient at the selected level, Then, and this part confuses me, the WA Set Coefficients of Discrete Wavelet Transform is used here to set the coefficients at the selected level to 0?? and why is this block diagram using a Subtract function with both of its inputs tied to the selected DWT coeff output of the Get coefficients VI, instead of using an empty awrray?
My question is why are the coefficients at the selected level set to 0 before calculating the inverse discrete wavelet transform?

Dear jquinno,
have you found any answer to your questions in the last year, please? I bumped into the same "model" questions lately, and I was wondering.
Cheers,

Can any one implement Discrete wavelet transform in PDA module

the attached vi does denoising based on dwt of waveform it works perfectly on computer but it shows some error when I try to run it as a pda module as I have used a dwt block from signal processing toolkit,could anyone suggest a solution or any other alternative it uses a text file..as input.

I could add a low pass filter IIR to my data but the pourpose of this excersice is to use of the DWT to exactract useful information about a signal, e.g. feature extraction. What I also want to do is take one of the peaks observed at the coefficients and map it back to the original signal's time domain.

Question on the result of using Wavelet transform on sine wave

Dear all,
I have apply the Wavelet transform on a 50Hz sine wave. The result is shown below. But I don't understand the result of Wavelet transform. Anyone can help me? Thanks.

You seem to have something against the FFT, yet continually compare other transforms to the "sweet spot" for the FFT, ie. sinusoidal and periodic functions. Without trying to write a treatise on the subject (there are many fine books), a few observations.
The primary purpose of any transform pair is to perform a rotation in function space, for the FFT we are familiar with the time domain and frequency domain. The wavelet domain is not so simple. The FFT is very effective for sinusoidal and periodic functions, ie. those that have no localization in the time domain. If you have a sinusoidal input, the infinite signal in the time domain can be reduced to a pair of numbers (one if you take the power spectrum). That is very efficient, other periodic signals can usually be approximated by a small number of terms.
Wavelets on the other hand are chosen to be localized in both the time domain and the wavelet domain. If you look at a periodic signal like your sine wave, you see a mess, and to recreate the input signal you will need to keep an awful lot of the points around for the inverse transform. You may be able to set the last 1/3 to zero, but that's it. To see an effective application, you should be looking at localized functions, like an impulse. Put an impulse into the wavelet transform and you get something that is still a bit complex, but pretty simple. The FFT of an impulse contains components at all frequencies and the wavelet clearly wins in this case.
On paper, there is usually a clear choice, and the FFT almost always wins for spectral estimation. On the other hand, if you are trying to compress "real world" data, for instance an image, then there is a choice to be made. Standard JPEGs are FFT based, you take the FFT and try to keep just the largest frequency components. As you probably notice, edge contrast usually suffers, especially at higher compression. With wavelets, it is typical to have slightly better contrast leading to better preservation of details for a given compression.
In short, my opinion is that transforms are useful when they simplify the problem. Wavelets do not simplify the representation of a sine wave.

Wavelet transform scale and time information

Hi there -
I am using the wavelet transform for a non-stationary signal. I am not having trouble getting the coefficients from the transfrom but is there I way I can find the scale/frequency and time information from just the wavelet VI. I see no way I can get at this information. Also, I am pretty certain Labview uses the DWT when computing the transform but does Labview have the option to do the CWT?
The reason is because I want to plot time vs. frequency vs. amplitude and I need all three to do it properly.
Thanks for your help,
Cameron

Hi, Cameron.
This screenshot shows one DWT and one CWT VI, and you'll notice that the CWT has an output called scale info which contains the time information and the scale (frequency) information. (In addition, LabVIEW has several other wavelet VIs.)
If this doesn't answer your question, please let me know. Have a nice afternoon!

RE: Discrete Fourier Transform

Hi All
I'm carrying out some image processing work and whaat I have done is computed the frequency of colours within a set image. Now I'd like to compute the discrete fourier transform of this distribution. Are ther any libraries within java or known to anyone that can handle this? Bear in mind that the distribution is within a 3D domain (Red, Green and Blue component).
Thanks in advance for the help.

isn't it possible to split up the problem in a green problem, a red problem and a blue problem? I think that that might ease your problem at least a bit. Then you only have a 2D Fourier problem.

Continuous Wavelet Transformation frequency output in columns and rows?

Hi
I´m trying to understand the output of the Continuous Wavelet Transformation Vi. I am only a beginner in wavelet, so is viewing from a Fourier Transformation method with moving windows. For example if I have 8 points say recorded with 1Hz = 8sec of data and run it thought the CWT with 8 scales, I get 8x8 array of data. So as far as I understand I get the frequencies of (starting with column 0 going to 7): 1Hz, 0,5Hz, 1/3Hz, 1/4Hz, 1/5Hz, 1/6Hz, 1/7Hz and 1/8Hz. Is this correct so far?
What I don´t get is how it is possible to make 8 (rows) of wavelet correlations on the columns from 1-7, when there is for example only one possibility to make correlation of 1/8Hz stretched wavelet, because the wavelet must be stretched over 8points (7th column). In picture below is illustration of wavelet where for the largest scale 8 (=lowest frequency) here 1/8Hz there is only 1 value for every 8 values for the smallest scale 1 (=highest frequency) here 1Hz.
I really hope someone can help me!
Best Regards
Jesper

Your current code can be replaced by an autoindexing FOR loop, you only need once instance of the "add array elements" operation. Easiest would be to acquire it as a 1D array with a constant number of samples then use "reshape array" to create a 2D array of the desired dimensions to be used for autoindexing as suggested.

How to use wavelet transform in vibrational signals?

plzzz....show the explaination of wavelet transformation in vibrational signals and also help me in understanding the waveforms......................

I am not a wavelet expert, yet I would experiement with the example in the application LLB for engine knock. In general wavelets are used to extract impact events in vibration signals.
Do you have a data file of your vibration data? What are you hoping to detech?

How to simulate discrete fourier transform using CMOS on multisim11.0

Please tell me how to simulate discrete fourier transform(DFT) using CMOS implementation in Multisim 11.0..

vlsi,
If I am reading your question correctly, I think this is more of an issue of IC design rather than how to use Multisim (the circuit you describe is likely very complex and would involve many CMOS/transistor components). If you have an existing or partial circuit already ready to start with, the group could better assist with how to implement or use in Multisim for simulation. Although it is possible to model a comlex digital parts with CMOS equivalent logic and gates, most of the more complex digital parts in Multisim are modeled in XSPICE, which allows the behavior to be described by a truth table and timing descriptions and the pins are modeled in SPICE.
However if you want to use a predefined DFT algorithm inline within a circuit simulation, you can likely use with a custom LabVIEW VI, we have several Fourier Transfer algorithms in which you could process a signal coming from a circuit simulation in which the transform and simulation could be run together.
http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/371361B-01/lvanlsconcepts/discrete_fourier_transform/
There is an example of how this can be done with an FFT (which is a type of DFT)
https://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-7438
Another idea is to use our co-simulation technology in Multisim v12 together with the LabVIEW Control Design tools. The LabVIEW Control Design package has several discrete signal processing algorithms built in and you could use them together for very precise mixed signal co-simulation between an electrical simulation and a discrete processing algorithm.

Normalized Frequency Analytic wavelet transform

Hi,
I am new to Labview and Signal Processing. For my work (file attached), I want to see the frequency component in detail, by using AWT Scalogram method available in signal processing toolkit wavelet transform (file attached). Signal data is read from text file and I get the frequency distribution on the scalogram. What I want is to normalize the frequency such that 50 Hz is eqaul to 1 on the y-axis of scalogram. So that total 0-1000 Hz on the y-axis shown in 0-20 values. According to theory available the normalized frequency shows scale from 0-1 but I don`t know how to do so, Need guidline in this regard.
Urgent help will be appreciated.

DSK6713 and the DCT ( discrete cosine Transform )

hello,
i'm using labview with the dsp module, the dsp i'm actually using is the DSK6713.
so my problem is that when i use a blank VI, i can find the DCT in the transforms sections but when it's a DSP project that i'm running the DCT is no longer there, so i wanted to know, is the dsp i'm using do not manage the DCT ?
thanks

thank you amezam,
i'm using labview 8.6.1 with the dsp module ( the latest version i think because i downloaded the latsest one i found on the NI web site )
well my probleme is that when the DCT VI ( 2D DCT, 1D DCT and the normal DCT ) are not executable in a DSP project,
i just want to know if ther is any methode to make them executable.
thanks again

Continuous wavelet transform of vibrational signals (scalogram)

Hello to everyone,
I am a beginner in signal processing and I'm trying to perform a CWT of a vibrational signal, took on a IC engine, in order to better understand the differences existing with the time-frequency rappresentation. I performed the scalogram, but i do not understand why on the time axis i read wrong informations, that is, there are wrong values on the time axis. Is there anyone that can help me?
Thanks to all.

2d wavelet signal processing - need some clarification

Hello:
I am using the advanced signal processing toolkit and doing some extensive wavelet processing in both 1-d and 2-d.
In 1-d, when processing waveforms, using discrete wavelet transform-based multiresolution analysis, 2 "coefficients" are produced depending on the "level" chosen. These coefficients are known as the "approximation" and the "detail." The approximation at level 1 is the summation of the approximation and detail at level 2. The approximation at level 2 is the summation of the approximation and detail at level 3. And so forth. See fig. 4-5 on p.4-6 of the Wavelet Analysis Tools user manual.
I want to consider the same analogy in the 2-d case. In the wavelet transform of 2d images at any particular level, 4 coefficients are produced. (See the manual, pgs. 4-7 and higher.) These are labeled low_low, low_high, high_low, and high_high. My interpretation of this is that low_low is the equivalent of the "approximation" and the other 3 coefficients comprise the "detail." I thought then by summing the 4 coefficients at one level (egs. level 2) would produce the approximation at the level just above it (level 1). When I test this out, it does not give the expected result.
I wonder if someone who helped produce the toolkit can clarify how one gets the "approximation" and "detail" coeffcients from the 4 produced coefficients and how they relate to the approximation at one level higher.
Thanks,
Don

Let's extend the analogy of the 1-d and 2-d cases further. First, look at the Advanced Signal Processing Express VI entitled "Multiresolution Analysis." In that VI, one can see that the time domain waveform (1-d) is transformed to its power spectrum which is broken into subbands based on the number of levels chosen. The subband closest to the origin of the power spectrum represents the "approximation" and the other subbands are associated with the "details". One can see that there is one approximation level and multiple detail levels associated with the power spectrum subbands regardless of the number of levels chosen. This express VI allows one to choose whatever combination of approximation and details to reconstruct the signal, thus providing a potentially multiple bandpass / bandstop reconstructed signal.
Fast forward to the 2-d case where I would like to do the same thing. The analog to the 1-d power spectrum would be the 2-d spatial fourier transform (see attached). I am devising a similar visualization method to draw the "subbands" on top of the fourier transform as shown by the blue lines and filled rectangles demarcating mouse-selected regions D3 and D1. However, for the 2-d case, the way I see it, there are actually 3 details associated with each level as mentioned in the above post (low_high, high_low, high_high) and 1 approximation (low_low). The questions then are:
1) how does one synthesize the 3 details (low_high, high_low, high_high) into 1 composite detail for a specific level so that the visualization method I propose for the 2-d case is consistent with that shown for the 1-d case in the Multiresolution Analysis Expresss VI? Do we just add the 3 details? When I do this, I get a great composite detail image that combines the details of rows, columns, and diagonals - but still not sure if it is the proper way to combine the 3 details.
2) how does one perform a reconstruction (inverse wavelet transform) with only the selected subbands for the 2-d case? I have attempted some reconstructions using the WA Inverse Undecimated Wavelet Transform, but the inverse transform does not appear to behave correctly without the use of all coefficients (low_low, low_high, high_low, high_high). In the 1-d case in the Express VI, one can see that only the selected subbands can be used to reconstruct the waveform.
Any help regarding these issues is greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Don

Wavelet scale error.

Hi all
I am trying to denoise an ECG signal using discrete wavelet transform. i have done a VI for this purpose . but when wiring the ECG signal to the input of the attached VI it gives an error ( the wavelet scale must be greater than zero ).
can you guys have a look at my VI and see what is wrong with it ?
thank you .

Dear Bill!
That is quite a loaded question. Filter design is a whole science by itself, and I don't believe that a non-trivial solution exists in your case.
What is my desired noise-to signal ratio? What manner of noise do I have? What is an acceptable degradation of signal accuracy (peaks and transients)?
These are all questions that you most consider, and then shoot for an optimal compromise.
I would say the easiest solution would be to try and set different thresholds, manual settings and constants, and check the output signal to see what works best for you. Also, keep in mind that the main advantage of wavelet filters is that the can keep sharp edges and transitions while maintaining good noise reduction. Because of this special treatment of meaningful edges, noise that is next to an edge will not be filtered well.
You can even use more then one filter to target specific frequency areas and problems.
Please check this whitepaper for more details of ECG signal filtering. There is also quite exellent academic literature on tre subject, for instance here or here.
