(Ebook) Wavelet theory approach to pattern recognition (2nd edition of "Wavelet theory and its application to pattern recognition") by Yuan Yan Tang ISBN 9789814273954, 9814273953

This 2nd edition is an update of the book "Wavelet Theory and Its Application to Pattern Recognition" published in 2000. Three new chapters, which are research results conducted during 2001-2008, will be added. The book consists of two parts - the first contains the basic theory of wavelet analysis and the second includes applications of wavelet theory to pattern recognition. The new book provides a bibliography of 170 references including the current state-of-the-art theory and applications of wavelet analysis to pattern recognition.
