Discrete Wavelets

A Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) library for the web.

This library is well tested. Still, it may contain some errors. Therefore it is recommended to double check the results with another library such as PyWavelets. If you find any errors, please let me know by opening an issue or a pull request.

Importing this library

Node Modules

  • Run npm install discrete-wavelets
  • Add an import to the npm package import wt from 'discrete-wavelets';
  • Then you can use the library in your code.

CDN

  • Put the following script tag <script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/discrete-wavelets@5/dist/discrete-wavelets.umd.min.js"></script> in the head of your HTML file.
  • Then you can use the library in your code.

Types

The library uses the following types:

PaddingMode

The following values for PaddingMode are supported at the moment:

Name Value Description
Zero Padding 'zero' Adding zeros.
Constant Padding 'constant' Replication of border values.
Symmetric Padding 'symmetric' Mirroring of samples.
Reflect Padding 'reflect' Reflecting of samples.
Periodic Padding 'periodic' Treating signal as a periodic one.
Smooth Padding 'smooth' Signal extended as a straight line.
Antisymmetric Padding 'antisymmetric' Mirroring and negation of samples.

You can get a list of the supported signal extension modes:

console.log(wt.Modes.modes);
// expected output: Array ['zero', 'constant', 'symmetric', 'periodic', 'smooth', 'reflect', 'antisymmetric']

Wavelets

The following Wavelet types are supported at the moment:

Wavelet Aliases
Daubechies 1 / Haar 'db1', 'D2', 'haar'
Daubechies 2 'db2', 'D4'
Daubechies 3 'db3', 'D6'
Daubechies 4 'db4', 'D8'

Daubechies 8 'db8', 'D16'
Daubechies 9 'db9', 'D18'
Daubechies 10 'db10', 'D20'

API

The library offers the following functions:

  • Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT)
    • dwt: Single level Discrete Wavelet Transform.
    • wavedec: 1D wavelet decomposition. Transforms data by calculating coefficients from input data.
  • Inverse Discrete Wavelet Transform (IDWT)
    • idwt: Single level inverse Discrete Wavelet Transform.
    • waverec: 1D wavelet reconstruction. Inverses a transform by calculating input data from coefficients.
  • Other
    • energy: Calculates the energy as sum of squares of an array of data or coefficients.
    • maxLevel: Determines the maximum level of useful decomposition.
    • pad: Extends a signal with a given padding mode.

dwt

Single level Discrete Wavelet Transform.

Arguments

  • data (number[]): Input data.
  • wavelet (Wavelet): Wavelet to use.
  • mode (PaddingMode): Signal extension mode. Defaults to 'symmetric'.

Return

coeffs (number[][]): Approximation and detail coefficients as result of the transform.

Example

var coeffs = wt.dwt([1, 2, 3, 4], 'haar');

console.log(coeffs);
// expected output: Array [[2.1213203435596425, 4.9497474683058326], [-0.7071067811865475, -0.7071067811865475]]

wavedec

1D wavelet decomposition. Transforms data by calculating coefficients from input data.

Arguments

  • data (number[]): Input data.
  • wavelet (Wavelet): Wavelet to use.
  • mode (PaddingMode): Signal extension mode. Defaults to 'symmetric'.
  • level (number): Decomposition level. Defaults to level calculated by maxLevel function.

Return

coeffs (number[][]): Coefficients as result of the transform.

Example

var coeffs = wt.wavedec([1, 2, 3, 4], 'haar');

console.log(coeffs);
// expected output: Array [[4.999999999999999], [-1.9999999999999993], [-0.7071067811865475, -0.7071067811865475]]

Be aware that due to floating point imprecision the result diverges slightly from the analytical solution [[5], [-2], [-0.7071067811865475, -0.7071067811865475]]

idwt

Single level inverse Discrete Wavelet Transform.

Arguments

  • approx (number[]): Approximation coefficients. If undefined, it will be set to an array of zeros with length equal to the detail coefficients.
  • detail (number[]): Detail coefficients. If undefined, it will be set to an array of zeros with length equal to the approximation coefficients.
  • wavelet (Wavelet): Wavelet to use.

Return

rec (number[]): Approximation coefficients of previous level of transform.

Example

var rec = wt.idwt(
  [(1 + 2) / Math.SQRT2, (3 + 4) / Math.SQRT2],
  [(1 - 2) / Math.SQRT2, (3 - 4) / Math.SQRT2],
  'haar'
);

console.log(rec);
// expected output: Array [0.9999999999999999, 1.9999999999999996, 2.9999999999999996, 3.9999999999999996]

Be aware that due to floating point imprecision the result diverges slightly from the analytical solution [1, 2, 3, 4]

waverec

1D wavelet reconstruction. Inverses a transform by calculating input data from coefficients.

Arguments

  • coeffs (number[][]): Coefficients as result of a transform.
  • wavelet (Wavelet): Wavelet to use.

Example

var data = wt.waverec(
  [[5], [-2], [-1 / Math.SQRT2, -1 / Math.SQRT2]],
  'haar'
);

console.log(data);
// expected output: Array [0.9999999999999999, 1.9999999999999996, 2.999999999999999, 3.999999999999999]

Be aware that due to floating point imprecision the result diverges slightly from the analytical solution [1, 2, 3, 4]

energy

Calculates the energy as sum of squares of an array of data or coefficients.

Argument

  • values (number[] | number[][]): Array of data or coefficients.

Return

energy (number): Energy of values as the sum of squares.

Examples

);
// expected output: 30

maxLevel

Determines the maximum level of useful decomposition.

Arguments

  • dataLength (number): Length of input data.
  • wavelet (Wavelet): Wavelet to use.

Return

maxLevel (number): Maximum useful level of decomposition.

Examples

var maxLevel = wt.maxLevel(4, 'haar');

console.log(maxLevel);
// expected output: 2
var maxLevel = wt.maxLevel(1024, 'haar');

console.log(maxLevel);
// expected output: 10

pad

Extends a signal with a given padding mode.

Arguments

  • data (number[]): Input data.
  • padWidths ([number, number]): Widths of padding at front and back.
  • mode (PaddingMode): Signal extension mode.

Return

pad (number[]): Data with padding.
