Daubechies posed the following problem in Ten Lectures on Wavelets (SIAM, Philadelphia, PA, 1992): “It is an open question whether there exist orthonormal wavelet bases (not necessarily associated with a multiresolution analysis), with good time-frequency localization, and with irrational [Formula: see text]” (that is, for an arbitrary irrational dilation factor [Formula: see text], with appropriate wavelet function [Formula: see text] and constant [Formula: see text], whether can [Formula: see text] construct an orthonormal wavelet basis with good time-frequency localization?). Our answer is “Yes”. In this paper, we introduce a new type of orthonormal wavelet basis having an arbitrary real dilation factor greater than 1. This orthonormal wavelet basis requires an infinite number of wavelet shapes when its dilation factor is irrational.

We already proved the existence of an orthonormal basis of wavelets having an irrational dilation factor with an infinite number of wavelet shapes, and based on its theory, we proposed an orthonormal basis of wavelets with an arbitrary real dilation factor. In this paper, with the development of these fundamentals, we propose a new type of orthonormal basis of wavelets with customizable frequency bands. Its frequency bands can be freely designed with arbitrary bounds in the frequency domain. For example, we show two types of orthonormal bases of wavelets. One of them has an irrational dilation factor, and the other is designed based on the major scale in just intonation.

The surface topography errors of Micro-EDM are mainly composed of surface roughness, surface waveness and so on, which have influence on the workpiece’s functions and performances in various degrees. Thus, how to pick up these errors without distortion is quite important for evaluating the surface topography. It is well known that Wavelet Transform has good time-frequency localization properties, which is especially suitable for image processing. Therefore, in this paper, a wavelet method for surface roughness of Micro-EDM is presented, in which, the time of wavelet decomposition is determined by Pearson Chi-square goodness of fit test. Furthermore, the results of simulation and experiments show that the proposed methods can separate Micro-EDM’s surface roughness well, meanwhile, using the mean and variance of ideal surface as accuracy requirements of the reference surface could help the separation have a certain certainty and precision.

AbstractImage fusion is the method of combining relevant information from two or more images into a single image resulting in an image that is more informative than the initial inputs. Methods for fusion include discrete wavelet transform, Laplacian pyramid based transform, curvelet based transform etc. These methods demonstrate the best performance in spatial and spectral quality of the fused image compared to other spatial methods of fusion. In particular, wavelet transform has good time-frequency characteristics. However, this characteristic cannot be extended easily to two or more dimensions with separable wavelet experiencing limited directivity when spanning a one-dimensional wavelet. This paper introduces the second generation curvelet transform and uses it to fuse images together. This method is compared against the others previously described to show that useful information can be extracted from source and fused images resulting in the production of fused images which offer clear, detailed information.
