wavelets

difference b/w the functions dwt2 and wavedec2

Answer 1

[Wayne King]

Hi Aavula, dwt2 gives you the 2D (separable) discrete wavelet transform at one level.

wavedec2 gives you the 2D (separable) discrete wavelet transform at a number of levels if you wish (provided as an input argument). wavedec2 uses dwt2 to iterate on the LL component.

Hope that helps,

Wayne

thanks...how to get the coefficients(approx and detail)separately

Answer 2

[Wayne King]

From wavedec2 you obtain a C and S vector. You can then use detcoef2 and appcoef2 to extract the detail and approximation coefficients at a given level.

For example:

image = randn(16,16);
[C,S] = wavedec2(image,3,'db2');
% get level 2 detail coefficients
[H,V,D] = detcoef2('all',C,S,2);
% get level 2 approx. coefficients
A = appcoef2(C,S,'db2',2);
