Spline wavelet

Animation showing the compactly supported cardinal B-spline wavelets of orders 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5.

In the mathematical theory of wavelets, a spline wavelet is a wavelet constructed using a spline function.^[1] There are different types of spline wavelets. The interpolatory spline wavelets introduced by C.K. Chui and J.Z. Wang are based on a certain spline interpolation formula.^[2] Though these wavelets are orthogonal, they do not have compact supports. There is a certain class of wavelets, unique in some sense, constructed using B-splines and having compact supports. Even though these wavelets are not orthogonal they have some special properties that have made them quite popular.^[3] The terminology spline wavelet is sometimes used to refer to the wavelets in this class of spline wavelets. These special wavelets are also called B-spline wavelets and cardinal B-spline wavelets.^[4] The Battle-Lemarie wavelets are also wavelets constructed using spline functions.^[5]

Cardinal B-splines

Let n be a fixed non-negative integer. Let Cⁿ denote the set of all real-valued functions defined over the set of real numbers such that each function in the set as well its first n derivatives are continuous everywhere. A bi-infinite sequence . . . x_-2, x_-1, x₀, x₁, x₂, . . . such that x_r < x_r+1 for all r and such that x_r approaches ±∞ as r approaches ±∞ is said to define a set of knots. A spline of order n with a set of knots {x_r} is a function S(x) in Cⁿ such that, for each r, the restriction of S(x) to the interval [x_r, x_r+1) coincides with a polynomial with real coefficients of degree at most n in x.

If the separation x_r+1 - x_r, where r is any integer, between the successive knots in the set of knots is a constant, the spline is called a cardinal spline. The set of integers Z = {. . ., -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, . . .} is a standard choice for the set of knots of a cardinal spline. Unless otherwise specified, it is generally assumed that the set of knots is the set of integers.

A cardinal B-spline is a special type of cardinal spline. For any positive integer m the cardinal B-spline of order m, denoted by N_m'(x), is defined recursively as follows.

N_{1}(x)={\begin{cases}1&0\leq x<1\\0&{\text{otherwise}}\end{cases}}

N_{m}(x)=\int _{0}^{1}N_{{m-1}}(x-t)dt

, for

m>1

Concrete expressions for the cardinal B-splines of all orders up to 5 and their graphs are given later in this article.

Properties of the cardinal B-splines

Elementary properties

The support of $N_{m}(x)$ is the closed interval $[0,m]$ .
The function $N_{m}(x)$ is non-negative, that is, $N_{m}(x)>0$ for $0<x<m$ .
$\sum _{{k=-\infty }}^{\infty }N_{m}(x-k)=1$ for all $x$ .
The cardinal B-splines of orders m and m-1 are related by the identity: $N_{m}(x)={\frac {x}{m-1}}N_{{m-1}}(x)+{\frac {m-x}{m-1}}N_{{m-1}}(x-1)$ .
The function $N_{m}(x)$ is symmetrical about $x={\frac {m}{2}}$ , that is, $N_{m}\left({\frac {m}{2}}-x\right)=N_{m}\left({\frac {m}{2}}+x\right)$ .
The derivative of $N_{m}(x)$ is given by $N_{m}^{\prime }(x)=N_{{m-1}}(x)-N_{{m-1}}(x-1)$ .
$\int _{{-\infty }}^{\infty }N_{m}(x)\,dx=1$

Two-scale relation

The cardinal B-spline of order m satisfies the following two-scale relation:

N_{m}(x)=\sum _{{k=0}}^{m}2^{{-m+1}}{m \choose k}N_{m}(2x-k)

Riesz property

The cardinal B-spline of order m satisfies the following property, known as the Riesz property: There exists two positive real numbers $A$ and $B$ such that for any square summable two-sided sequence $\{c_{k}\}_{{k=-\infty }}^{\infty }$ and for any x,

A\left\Vert \{c_{k}\}\right\Vert ^{2}\leq \left\Vert \sum _{{k=-\infty }}^{\infty }c_{k}N_{m}(x-k)\right\Vert ^{2}\leq B\left\Vert \{c_{k}\}\right\Vert ^{2}

where $\Vert \cdot \Vert$ is the norm in the ℓ²-space.

Cardinal B-splines of small orders

The cardinal B-splines are defined recursively starting from the B-spline of order 1, namely $N_{1}(x)$ , which takes the value 1 in the interval [0, 1) and 0 elsewhere. Computer algebra systems may have to be employed to obtain concrete expressions for higher order cardinal B-splines. The concrete expressions for cardinal B-splines of all orders up to 6 are given below. The graphs of cardinal B-splines of orders up to 4 are also exhibited. In the images, the graphs of the terms contributing to the corresponding two-scale relations are also shown. The two dots in each image indicate the extremities of the interval supporting the B-spline.

The two-scale relation for the cubic B-spline is

N_{4}(x)={\frac {1}{8}}N_{4}(2x)+{\frac {1}{2}}N_{4}(2x-1)+{\frac {3}{4}}N_{4}(2x-2)+{\frac {1}{2}}N_{4}(2x-3)+{\frac {1}{8}}N_{4}(2x-4)

Multi-resolution analysis generated by cardinal B-splines

The cardinal B-spline $N_{m}(x)$ of order m generates a multi-resolution analysis. In fact, from the elementary properties of these functions enunciated above, it follows that the function $N_{m}(x)$ is square integrable and is an element of the space $L^{2}(R)$ of square integrable functions. To set up the multi-resolution analysis the following notations used.

For any integers $k,j$ , define the function $N_{{m,kj}}(x)=N_{m}(2^{k}x-j)$ .
For each integer $k$ , define the subspace $V_{k}$ of $L^{2}(R)$ as the closure of the linear span of the set $\{N_{{m,kj}}(x):j=\cdots ,-2,-1,0,1,2,\cdots \}$ .

That these define a multi-resolution analysis follows from the following:

The spaces $V_{k}$ satisfy the property: $\cdots \subset V_{{-2}}\subset V_{{-1}}\subset V_{0}\subset V_{1}\subset V_{2}\subset \cdots$ .
The closure in $L^{2}(R)$ of the union of all the subspaces $V_{k}$ is the whole space $L^{2}(R)$ .
The intersection of all the subspaces $V_{k}$ is the singleton set containing only the zero function.
For each integer $k$ the set $\{N_{{m,kj}}(x):j=\cdots ,-2,-1,0,1,2,\cdots \}$ is an unconditional basis for $V_{k}$ . (A sequence {x_n} in a Banach space X is an unconditional basis for the space X if every permutation of the sequence {x_n} is also a basis for the same space X.^[6])

Wavelets from cardinal B-splines

Let m be a fixed positive integer and $N_{m}(x)$ be the cardinal B-spline of order m. A function $\psi _{m}(x)$ in $L^{2}(R)$ is a basic wavelet relative to the cardinal B-spline function $N_{m}(x)$ if the closure in $L^{2}(R)$ of the linear span of the set $\{\psi _{m}(x-j):j=\cdots ,-2,-1,0,1,2,\cdots \}$ (this closure is denoted by $W_{0}$ ) is the orthogonal complement of $V_{0}$ in $V_{1}$ . The subscript m in $\psi _{m}(x)$ is used to indicate that $\psi _{m}(x)$ is a basic wavelet relative the cardinal B-spline of order m. There is no unique basic wavelet $\psi _{m}(x)$ relative to the cardinal B-spline $N_{m}(x)$ . Some of these are discussed in the following sections.

Wavelets relative to cardinal B-splines using fundamental interpolatory splines

Fundamental interpolatory spline

Definitions

Let m be a fixed positive integer and let $N_{m}(x)$ be the cardinal B-spline of order m. Given a sequence $\{f_{j}:j=\cdots ,-2,-1,0,1,2,\cdots \}$ of real numbers, the problem of finding a sequence $\{c_{{m,k}}:k=\cdots ,-2,-1,0,1,2,\cdots \}$ of real numbers such that

\sum _{{k=-\infty }}^{\infty }c_{{m,k}}N_{m}\left(j+{\frac {m}{2}}-k\right)=f_{j}

for all

j

is known as the cardinal spline interpolation problem. The special case of this problem where the sequence $\{f_{j}\}$ is the sequence $\delta _{{0j}}$ , where $\delta _{ij}$ is the Kronecker delta function $\delta _{ij}$ defined by

\delta _{{ij}}={\begin{cases}1,&{\text{ if }}i=j\\0,&{\text{ if }}i\neq j\end{cases}}

is the fundamental cardinal spline interpolation problem. The solution of the problem yields the fundamental cardinal interpolatory spline of order m. This spline is denoted by $L_{m}(x)$ and is given by

L_{m}(x)=\sum _{{k=-\infty }}^{\infty }c_{{m,k}}N_{m}\left(x+{\frac {m}{2}}-k\right)

where the sequence $\{c_{{m,k}}\}$ is now the solution of the following system of equations:

\sum _{{k=-\infty }}^{\infty }c_{{m,k}}N_{m}\left(j+{\frac {m}{2}}-k\right)=\delta _{{0j}}

Procedure to find the fundamental cardinal interpolatory spline

The fundamental cardinal interpolatory spline $L_{m}(x)$ can be determined using Z-transforms. Using the following notations

A(z)=\sum _{{k=-\infty }}^{\infty }\delta _{{k0}}z^{k}=1,

B_{m}(z)=\sum _{{k=-\infty }}^{\infty }N_{m}\left(k+{\frac {m}{2}}\right)z^{k},

C_{m}(z)=\sum _{{k=-\infty }}^{\infty }c_{{m,k}}z^{k},

it can be seen from the equations defining the sequence $c_{{m,k}}$ that

B_{m}(z)C_{m}(z)=A(z)

from which we get

C_{m}(z)={\frac {1}{B_{m}(z)}}

This can be used to obtain concrete expressions for $c_{{m,k}}$ .

Example

As a concrete example, the case $L_{4}(x)$ may be investigated. The definition of $B_{m}(z)$ implies that

B_{4}(x)=\sum _{{k=-\infty }}^{\infty }N_{4}(2+k)z^{k}

The only nonzero values of $N_{4}(k+2)$ are given by $k=-1,0,1$ and the corresponding values are

N_{4}(1)={\frac {1}{6}},N_{4}(2)={\frac {4}{6}},N_{4}(3)={\frac {1}{6}}.

Thus $B_{4}(z)$ reduces to

B_{4}(z)={\frac {1}{6}}z^{{-1}}+{\frac {4}{6}}z^{0}+{\frac {1}{6}}z^{1}={\frac {1+4z+z^{2}}{6z}}

This yields the following expression for $C_{4}(z)$ .

C_{4}(z)={\frac {6z}{1+4z+z^{2}}}

Splitting this expression into partial fractions and expanding each term in powers of z in an annular region the values of $c_{{4,k}}$ can be computed. These values are then substituted in the expression for $L_{4}(x)$ to yield

L_{4}(x)=\sum _{{k=-\infty }}^{\infty }(-1)^{k}{\sqrt {3}}(2-{\sqrt {3}})^{{|k|}}N_{4}(x+2-k)

Wavelet using fundamental interpolatory spline

For a positive integer m, the function $\psi _{m}(x)$ defined by

\psi _{{I,m}}(x)={\frac {d^{m}}{dx^{m}}}L_{{2m}}(2x-1)

is a basic wavelet relative to the cardinal B-spline of order $N_{m}(x)$ . The subscript I in $\psi _{{I,m}}$ is used to indicate that it is based in the interpolatory spline formula. This basic wavelet is not compactly supported.

Example

The wavelet of order 2 using interpolatory spline is given by

\psi _{{I,2}}(x)={\frac {d^{2}}{dx^{2}}}L_{4}(2x-1)

The expression for $L_{4}(x)$ now yields the following formula:

\psi _{{I,2}}(x)={\frac {d^{2}}{dx^{2}}}\sum _{{k=-\infty }}^{\infty }(-1)^{k}{\sqrt {3}}(2-{\sqrt {3}})^{{|k|}}N_{4}(2x+1-k)

Now, using the expression for the derivative of $N_{m}(x)$ in terms of $N_{{m-1}}(x)$ the function $\psi _{2}(x)$ can be put in the following form:

\psi _{{I,2}}(x)=\sum _{{k=-\infty }}^{\infty }(-1)^{k}4{\sqrt {3}}(2-{\sqrt {3}})^{{|k|}}{\Big (}(N_{2}(2x+k-1)-2N_{2}(2x+k-2)+N_{2}(2x+k-3){\Big )}

The following piecewise linear function is the approximation to $\psi _{2}(x)$ obtained by taking the sum of the terms corresponding to $k=-3,\ldots ,3$ in the infinite series expression for $\psi _{2}(x)$ .

\psi _{{I,2}}(x)\approx {\begin{cases}0.07142668x+0.17856670&-2.5<x\leq -2\\-0.48084803x-0.92598272&-2<x\leq -1.5\\2.0088293x+2.8085333&-1.5<x\leq -1\\-7.5684795x-6.7687755&-1<x\leq -0.5\\28.245949x+11.138439&-0.5<x\leq 0\\-57.415316x+11.138439&0<x\leq 0.5\\57.415316x-46.276878&0.5<x\leq 1\\-28.245949x+39.384388&1<x\leq 1.5\\7.5684795x-14.337255&1.5<x\leq 2\\-2.0088293x+4.8173625&2<x\leq 2.5\\0.48084803x-1.4068308&2.5<x\leq 3\\-0.07142668x+0.24999338&3<x\leq 3.5\\0&{otherwise}\end{cases}}

Two-scale relation

The two-scale relation for the wavelet function $\psi _{m}(x)$ is given by

\psi _{{I,m}}(x)=\sum _{{-\infty }}^{\infty }q_{n}N_{m}(2x-n)

where

q_{n}=\sum _{{j=0}}^{m}(-1)^{j}{m \choose j}c_{{m+n-j-1}}.

Compactly supported B-spline wavelets

The spline wavelets generated using the interpolatory wavelets are not compactly supported. Compactly supported B-spline wavelets were discovered by Charles K. Chui and Jian-zhong Wang and published in 1991.^[3]^[7] The compactly supported B-spline wavelet relative to the cardinal B-spline $N_{m}(x)$ of order m discovered by Chui and Wong and denoted by $\psi _{{C,m}}(x)$ , has as its support the interval $[0,2m-1]$ . These wavelets are essentially unique in a certain sense explained below.

Definition

The compactly supported B-spline wavelet of order m is given by

\psi _{{C,m}}(x)={\frac {1}{2^{{2m-1}}}}\sum _{{j=0}}^{{2m-2}}(-1)^{j}N_{{2m}}(j+1){\frac {d^{m}}{dx^{m}}}N_{{2m}}(2x-j)

This is an m-th order spline. As a special case, the compactly supported B-spline wavelet of order 1 is

\psi _{{C,1}}(x)={\frac {1}{2}}N_{2}(1){\frac {d}{dx}}N_{2}(2x)={\begin{cases}1&0\leq x<{\frac {1}{2}}\\-1&{\frac {1}{2}}\leq x<1\\0&{\text{otherwise}}\end{cases}}

which is the well-known Haar wavelet.

Properties

The support of $\psi _{{C,m}}(x)$ is the closed interval $[0,2m-1]$ .
The wavelet $\psi _{{C,m}}(x)$ is the unique wavelet with minimum support in the following sense: If $\eta (x)\in W_{0}$ generates $W_{0}$ and has support not exceeding $2m-1$ in length then $\eta (x)=c_{0}\psi _{{C,m}}(x-n_{0})$ for some nonzero constant $c_{0}$ and for some integer $n_{0}$ .^[8]
$\psi _{{C,m}}(x)$ is symmetric for even m and antisymmetric for odd m.

Two-scale relation

$\psi _{m}(x)$ satisfies the two-scale relation:

\psi _{{C,m}}(x)=\sum _{{n=0}}^{{3m-2}}q_{n}N_{m}(2x-n)

where

q_{n}={\frac {(-1)^{n}}{2^{{m-1}}}}\sum _{{j=0}}^{m}{m \choose j}N_{{2m}}(n-j+1)

Decomposition relation

The decomposition relation for the compactly supported B-spline wavelet has the following form:

N_{m}(2x-l)=\sum _{{k=-\infty }}^{{\infty }}\left[a_{{m,l-2k}}N_{m}(x-k)+b_{{m,l-2k}}\psi _{{C,m}}(x-k)\right]

where the coefficients $a_{{m,j}}$ and $b_{{m,j}}$ are given by

a_{{m,j}}=-{\frac {(-1)^{j}}{2}}\sum _{{l=-\infty }}^{\infty }q_{{-j+2m-2l+1}}c_{{2m,l}},

b_{{m,j}}={\frac {(-1)^{j}}{2}}\sum _{{l=-\infty }}^{\infty }p_{{-j+2m-2l+1}}c_{{2m,l}}.

Here the sequence $c_{{2m,l}}$ is the sequence of coefficients in the fundamental interpolatoty cardinal spline wavelet of order m.

Battle-Lemarie wavelets

The Battle-Lemarie wavelets form a class of orthonormal wavelets constructed using the class of cardinal B-splines. The expressions for these wavelets are given in the frequency domain; that is, they are defined by specifying their Fourier transforms. The Fourier transform of a function of t, say, $F(t)$ , is denoted by ${\hat {F}}(\omega )$ .

Definition

Let m be a positive integer and let $N_{m}(x)$ be the cardinal B-spline of order m. The Fourier transform of $N_{m}(x)$ is ${\hat {N}}_{m}(\omega )$ . The scaling function $\phi _{m}(t)$ for the m-th order Battle-Lemarie wavelet is that function whose Fourier transform is

{\hat {\phi }}_{m}(\omega )={\frac {{\hat {N}}_{m}(\omega )}{\left(\sum _{{k=-\infty }}^{\infty }\vert {\hat {N}}_{m}(\omega +2\pi k)\vert ^{2}\right)^{{1/2}}}}.

The m-th order Battle-Lemarie wavelet is the function $\psi _{{BL,m}}(t)$ whose Fourier transform is

{\hat {\psi }}_{{BL,m}}(\omega )=-{\frac {e^{{-i\omega /2}}\,\,\overline {{\hat {\phi }}_{m}(\omega +2\pi )}\,\,{\hat {\phi }}_{m}\left({\frac {\omega }{2}}\right)}{\overline {{\hat {\phi }}_{m}\left({\frac {\omega }{2}}+\pi \right)}}}
