This chapter has illustrated the fact that the Fourier transform is not sufficient for the analysis of nonstationary signals, from the viewpoint of balancing between time and frequency localization. The principle of continuous wavelet transformation has been summarized. The orthogonal wavelet transform has been presented in the general context of the multiresolution representation. Some of the important properties of wavelets such as orthogonality, regularity, or compact support have been described. These properties allow us, at least from a theoretical point of view, to distinguish wavelets from filter banks while their numerous similarities have been highlighted from a practical viewpoint. The generalization to the concept of wavelet packets has been introduced together with the best-basis method. The different criteria used for the selection of the best basis and already used in the literature have been described. Finally, the estimation of pulmonary capillary pressure has been detailed and a new mutual wavelet packets scheme has been proposed for subband adaptive filtering. Simulation results proved that the proposed method is more efficient than classical methods. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0889.00018].
