idwpt

Multisignal 1-D inverse wavelet packet transform

Since R2020a

Syntax

xrec = idwpt(wpt,l)

xrec = idwpt(wpt,l,wname)

xrec = idwpt(wpt,l,LoR,HiR)

xrec = idwpt(___, 'Boundary',ExtensionMode)

Description

xrec = idwpt(wpt,l) inverts the discrete wavelet packet transform (DWPT) of the terminal node wavelet packet tree wpt using the bookkeeping vector l. The idwpt function assumes that you obtained wpt and l using dwpt with the fk18 wavelet and default settings.

If the input to dwpt was one signal, xrec is a column vector. If the input was a multichannel signal, xrec is a matrix, where each matrix column corresponds to a channel.

xrec = idwpt(wpt,l,wname) uses the wavelet specified by wname to invert the DWPT. wname must be recognized by wavemngr. The specified wavelet must be the same wavelet used to obtain the DWPT.

xrec = idwpt(wpt,l,LoR,HiR) uses the scaling (lowpass) filter, LoR, and wavelet (highpass) filter, HiR. The synthesis filter pair LoR and HiR must be associated with the same wavelet used in the DWPT.

xrec = idwpt(___, 'Boundary',ExtensionMode) specifies the mode to extend the signal. ExtensionMode can be either 'reflection' (default) and 'periodic'. By setting ExtensionMode to 'periodic' or 'reflection', the wavelet packet coefficients at each level are extended based on the modes 'per' or 'sym' in dwtmode, respectively. ExtensionMode must be the same mode used in the DWPT.

Examples

Inverse Wavelet Packet Transform

This example shows how to perform the inverse wavelet packet transform using synthesis filters.

Obtain the DWPT of an ECG signal using dwpt with default settings.

load wecg
[wpt,l] = dwpt(wecg);

By default, dwpt uses the fk18 wavelet. Obtain the synthesis (reconstruction) filters associated with the wavelet.

[~,~,lor,hir] = wfilters('fk18');

Invert the DWPT using the synthesis filters and demonstrate perfect reconstruction.

xrec = idwpt(wpt,l,lor,hir);
norm(wecg-xrec,'inf')

ans =

   4.9236e-11

Change Boundary Extension Mode

Obtain the DWPT of an ECG signal using dwpt and periodic extension.

load wecg
[wpt,l] = dwpt(wecg,'Boundary','periodic');

By default, idwpt uses symmetric extension. Invert the DWPT using periodic and symmetric extension modes.

xrecA = idwpt(wpt,l,'Boundary','periodic');
xrecB = idwpt(wpt,l);

Demonstrate perfect reconstruction only when the extension modes of the forward and inverse DWPT agree.

fprintf('Periodic/Periodic : %f\n',norm(wecg-xrecA,'inf'))

Periodic/Periodic : 0.000000

fprintf('Periodic/Symmetric: %f\n',norm(wecg-xrecB,'inf'))

Periodic/Symmetric: 1.477907

PR Biorthogonal Filters

This example shows how to take an expression of a biorthogonal filter pair and construct lowpass and highpass filters to produce a perfect reconstruction (PR) pair in Wavelet Toolbox™.

The LeGall 5/3 filter is the wavelet used in JPEG2000 for lossless image compression. The lowpass (scaling) filters for the LeGall 5/3 wavelet have five and three nonzero coefficients respectively. The expressions for these two filters are:

$H_0(z)=1/8(-z^2+2z+6+2z^{-1}-z^{-2})$

$$H_1(z)=1/2(z+2+z^{-1})$$

Create these filters.

H0 = 1/8*[-1 2 6 2 -1];
H1 = 1/2*[1 2 1];

Many of the discrete wavelet and wavelet packet transforms in Wavelet Toolbox rely on the filters being both even-length and equal in length in order to produce the perfect reconstruction filter bank associated with these transforms. These transforms also require a specific normalization of the coefficients in the filters for the algorithms to produce a PR filter bank. Use the biorfilt function on the lowpass prototype functions to produce the PR wavelet filter bank.

[LoD,HiD,LoR,HiR] = biorfilt(H0,H1);

The sum of the lowpass analysis and synthesis filters is now equal to $$\sqrt{2}$$.

sum(LoD)

ans = 1.4142

sum(LoR)

ans = 1.4142

The wavelet filters sum, as required, to zero. The L2-norms of the lowpass analysis and highpass synthesis filters are equal. The same holds for the lowpass synthesis and highpass analysis filters.

Now you can use these filters in discrete wavelet and wavelet packet transforms and achieve a PR wavelet packet filter bank. To demonstrate this, load and plot an ECG signal.

load wecg
plot(wecg)
axis tight
grid on

Obtain the discrete wavelet packet transform of the ECG signal using the LeGall 5/3 filter set.

[wpt,L] = dwpt(wecg,LoD,HiD);

Now use the reconstruction (synthesis) filters to reconstruct the signal and demonstrate perfect reconstruction.

xrec = idwpt(wpt,L,LoR,HiR);
plot([wecg xrec])
axis tight, grid on;

norm(wecg-xrec,'Inf')

ans = 3.3307e-15

You can also use this filter bank in the 1-D and 2-D discrete wavelet transforms. Read and plot an image.

im = imread('woodsculp256.jpg');
image(im); axis off;

Obtain the 2-D wavelet transform using the LeGall 5/3 analysis filters.

[C,S] = wavedec2(im,3,LoD,HiD);

Reconstruct the image using the synthesis filters.

imrec = waverec2(C,S,LoR,HiR);
image(uint8(imrec)); axis off;

The LeGall 5/3 filter is equivalent to the built-in 'bior2.2' wavelet in Wavelet Toolbox. Use the 'bior2.2' filters and compare with the LeGall 5/3 filters.

[LD,HD,LR,HR] = wfilters('bior2.2');
subplot(2,2,1)
hl = stem([LD' LoD']);
hl(1).MarkerFaceColor = [0 0 1];
hl(1).Marker = 'o';
hl(2).MarkerFaceColor = [1 0 0];
hl(2).Marker = '^';
grid on
title('Lowpass Analysis')
subplot(2,2,2)
hl = stem([HD' HiD']);
hl(1).MarkerFaceColor = [0 0 1];
hl(1).Marker = 'o';
hl(2).MarkerFaceColor = [1 0 0];
hl(2).Marker = '^';

subplot(2,2,3)
hl = stem([LR' LoR']);
hl(1).MarkerFaceColor = [0 0 1];

hl(2).Marker = '^';

Input Arguments

wpt — Terminal node wavelet packet tree

cell array

Terminal node wavelet packet tree, specified as a cell array. wpt is the output of dwpt with the 'FullTree' value set to false.

Example: [wpt,l] = dwpt(X,'Level',3,'FullTree',false) returns the terminal node wavelet packet tree of the three-level wavelet packet decomposition of X.

Data Types: single | double

l — Bookkeeping vector

vector of positive integers

Bookkeeping vector, specified as a vector of positive integers. The vector l is the output of dwpt. The bookkeeping vector contains the length of the input signal and the number of coefficients by level, and is required for perfect reconstruction.

Data Types: single | double

wname — Wavelet

'fk18' (default) | character vector | string scalar

Wavelet to use in the inverse DWPT, specified as a character vector or string scalar. wname must be recognized by wavemngr. The specified wavelet must be the same wavelet used to obtain the DWPT.

You cannot specify both wname and a filter pair, LoD and HiD.

Example: xrec = idwpt(wpt,l,"sym4") specifies the sym4 wavelet.

LoR,HiR — Wavelet synthesis filters

real-valued vectors

Wavelet synthesis (reconstruction) filters to use in the inverse DWPT, specified as a pair of real-valued vectors. LoR is the scaling (lowpass) synthesis filter, and HiR is the wavelet (highpass) synthesis filter. The synthesis filter pair must be associated with the same wavelet as used in the DWPT. You cannot specify both wname and a filter pair, LoR and HiR. See wfilters for additional information.

Note

idwpt does not check that LoR and HiR satisfy the requirements for a perfect reconstruction wavelet packet filter bank. To confirm your filter pair satisfies the requirements, use isorthwfb or isbiorthwfb. See PR Biorthogonal Filters for an example of how to take a published biorthogonal filter and ensure that the analysis and synthesis filters produce a perfect reconstruction wavelet packet filter bank using idwpt.

ExtensionMode — Wavelet packet transform boundary handling

'reflection' (default) | 'periodic'

Wavelet packet transform boundary handling, specified as 'reflection' or 'periodic'. When set to 'reflection' or 'periodic', the wavelet packet coefficients are extended at each level based on the 'sym' or 'per' mode in dwtmode, respectively. ExtensionMode must be the same mode used in the DWPT. If unspecified, ExtensionMode defaults to 'reflection'.
