Discrete Wavelet Transform

The discrete wavelet transform (DWT) is a fast, computationally efficient method for decomposing signals into different frequency and time components using orthogonal or biorthogonal wavelet functions. Developed rigorously by Ingrid Daubechies (1992) and built on Mallat's multiresolution decomposition theory (1989), the DWT employs filter banks to recursively split a signal into approximation (low-frequency) and detail (high-frequency) components. It has become the foundation for signal processing applications ranging from compression to feature extraction.
