Wavelet analysis on some smooth surface with nonzero constant Gaussian curvature

Abstract

According to the theory of wavelet analysis on [Formula: see text], the wavelet analysis on a smooth surface [Formula: see text] with nonzero constant Gaussian curvature will be discussed systematically in this paper. First, a general area-preserving projection from a smooth surface to the plane will be presented by the Gaussian projection and the area-preserving projection on the sphere. Then the continuous wavelet transform and its inverse transform on a smooth surface [Formula: see text] with nonzero constant Gaussian curvature will be discussed by a general area-preserving projection, relative dilation operator and translation operator. Further, according to the multi-resolution analysis on a smooth surface, the discrete wavelet transform and relative properties will be investigated systematically, including the two-scale equations of the wavelet function, orthogonality and so on. Finally, two numerical examples will be given.
