NAME

Math::DWT - Pure Perl 1-D Discrete Wavelet Transform.

VERSION

Version 0.022

SYNOPSIS

This module computes the forward and inverse Discrete Wavelet Transform using arbitrary wavelets defined in modules (many are included in the distribution).

    use Math::DWT;

    my $dwt = Math::DWT->new('Daubechies',1); # Haar

    my @x = qw/8 6 7 5 3 0 9 0/; # zero-pad input to make it 2^n long

    # perform a single transform with default loaded filters
    my $coeffs = $dwt->dwt(\@x);

    # $coeffs points to LEVEL+1 array refs

    # Check perfect reconstruction:
    my @X = $dwt->idwt($coeffs);

    my $maxerr=0;
    for(my $i=0;$i<scalar(@X);$i++) {
       my $err=abs($x[$i] - $X[$i]);
       $maxerr = $err if ($err > $maxerr);
    }

    print $maxerr . "\n"; # 5.27844434827784e-12 (close enough to 0)

SUBROUTINES/METHODS

new(WAVELET,VAR)

new(WAVELET)

new()

Create a new DWT object with the wavelet WAVELET and variable VAR. The wavelet is loaded from the module Math::DWT::Wavelet::WAVELET, so there will be an error if this module is not installed. If VAR is omitted, then VAR is set to whatever the default is as defined in the module (usually the lowest option). If WAVELET is left blank, then an empty object is returned with no filters defined. See the set_filters method to set custom filters (TODO).

dwt(SIGNAL,LEVEL,LO-PASS,HI-PASS)

dwt(SIGNAL,LEVEL)

dwt(SIGNAL)

This performs the forward Discrete Wavelet Transform on SIGNAL using LO-PASS and HI-PASS as filters. The process is repeated LEVEL times. If LO-PASS and HI-PASS are omitted, then it uses defaults set in loaded wavelet. If LEVEL is omitted, then it sets LEVEL=1. SIGNAL is an array ref. The length of SIGNAL must be a power of 2, e.g. 256, 512, 1024, etc.

dwt returns an arrayref (or array, if called in array context) of arrayrefs, one for each set of detail coefficients, and an extra one for the last set of scaling coefficients. So for a 256-sample long input signal, processed to 4 levels, the return value of dwt would be an array/arrayref with 5 arrayrefs with sizes 128, 64, 32, 16, and 16, in that order.

    @x=@x[0..255];
    my $coeffs = $dwt->dwt(\@x,4);

    foreach my $i (@$coeffs) { print scalar(@$i) . " "; }
    # prints
    # 128 64 32 16 16

idwt(COEFFICIENTS,LEVEL,LO-PASS,HI-PASS)

idwt(COEFFICIENTS,LEVEL)

idwt(COEFFICIENTS)

Inverse Discrete Wavelet Transform. Same defaults setup as for dwt. COEFFICIENTS must be an array ref of the structure returned by dwt. Returns an array or arrayref (depending on the value of wantarray()) with the original signal, or at least the signal inversely processed LEVEL times.

cshift(ARRAY,SHIFT)

Utility method that shifts the elements of ARRAY by SHIFT amount in a circular fashion (i.e. elements positioned past the end of the array are placed back at the beginning). Accepts negative values for SHIFT.

afb(SIGNAL,LO-PASS,HI-PASS)

This is a utility method you shouldn't need to use. Stands for Analysis Filter Bank. This method convolves SIGNAL with LO-PASS and separately with HI-PASS, then downsamples each by 2, and returns arrayrefs of the results of the proper length (half the input length).

sfb(LO-PART,HI-PART,LO-PASS,HI-PASS)

This is an internal utility method for reconstructing a signal from a set of wavelet coefficients and scaling coefficients and a pair of lo-pass and hi-pass reconstruction filters. It stands for Synthesis Filter Bank and it returns a single array or arrayref that is the result of upsampling the input by 2, then convolving each set of coefficients with its respective filter, and, finally, adding up corresponding lo-pass/hi-pass values.

upfirdn(A,B,UP,DN)

This is an internal utility method modeled after MATLAB's upfirdn command. First, it upsamples signal A by the value of UP (use 1 to disable), then convolves A and B, then downsamples the result by a factor of DN (again, use 1 to disable). The result is an array or arrayref with length defined by: (((length(A)-1)*UP+length(B))/DN)

set_filters(LO_D,HI_D,LO_R,HI_R)

Set the filters manually. Each of LO_D, HI_D, LO_R, and HI_R is an arrayref to the set of coefficients for the respective filter set. Returns undef.

get_filters()

Get the set of filters. Returns an array or an arrayref containing LO_D, HI_D, LO_R, HI_R in that order.
