The Haar System as an Example of DWT

Module by: Phil Schniter

Summary: (Blank Abstract)

The Haar basis is perhaps the simplest example of a DWT basis, and we will frequently refer to it in our DWT development. Keep in mind, however, that the Haar basis is only an example; there are many other ways of constructing a DWT decomposition.
For the Haar case, the mother scaling function is defined by Equation 1 and Figure 1.

From the mother scaling function, we define a family of shifted and stretched scaling functions φ k , n t φ k , n t according to Equation 2 and Figure 2
φ k , n t=∀k,n,k∈ℤn∈ℤ:2-k2φ2-kt-n=2-k2φ12kt-n2k φ k , n t k n k n 2 k 2 φ 2 k t n 2 k 2 φ 1 2 k t n 2 k (2)

which are illustrated in Figure 3 for various kk and nn. Equation 2 makes clear the principle that incrementing nn by one shifts the pulse one place to the right. Observe from Figure 3 that { φ k , n t|n∈ℤ} φ k , n t n is orthonormal for each kk (i.e., along each row of figures).
