Multiresolution Analysis in the Wavelet Toolkit

Multiresolution Analysis uses the wavelet transform to decompose a data series in a cascade from the smallest scales to the largest. At each scale there are three components: the Smooth (or low-pass filtered) data series, the Details (or band-pass) data series, and the Rough (or high-pass).

For one-dimensional vectors, this can be viewed as a hierarchy of x-y plots, as shown in the following figure:

For two-dimensional arrays, the multiresolution analysis gives a series of images.
