Stochastic wavelets from minimizers of an uncertainty principle: An example

Abstract

This paper proposes a method through which a family of wavelets can be obtained. This is done by choosing each member based on a random variable. The method is preferred in situations where a single mother wavelet proves inadequate and an evolving sequence of mother wavelets is needed but a priori the next member in the sequence is uncertain. The adopted approach is distinct from the way spatiotemporal wavelets are used or even the way stochastic processes have been studied using spatiotemporal wavelets.
