This book explores the use of wavelet transforms in signal processing, including image, finance, and communication systems. It covers five contemporary applications, including the interaction between inertial sensors and wavelet filtering techniques, geophysical prospecting, volatility patterns in asset returns, computerized tomography (CT), and fault detection techniques. The book provides a foundation for further exploration, focusing on wavelet transformations' basic principles, their application in geophysical prospecting, and their use in identifying volatility patterns in asset returns. The book is intended for students, researchers, and professionals interested in understanding wavelet transforms and their practical implementations.

The continuous wavelet transform has deep mathematical roots in the work of Alberto P. Calderon. His seminal paper on complex method of interpolation and intermediate spaces provided the main tool for describing function spaces and their approximation properties. The Calderon identities allow one to give integral representations of many natural operators by using simple pieces of such operators, which are more suited for analysis. These pieces, which are essentially spectral projections, can be chosen in clever ways and have proved to be of tremendous utility in various problems of numerical analysis, multidimensional signal processing, video data compression, and reconstruction of high resolution images and high quality speech. A proliferation of research papers and a couple of books, written in English (there is an earlier book written in French), have emerged on the subject. These books, so far, are written by specialists for specialists, with a heavy mathematical flavor, which is characteristic of the Calderon-Zygmund theory and related research of Duffin-Schaeffer, Daubechies, Grossman, Meyer, Morlet, Chui, and others. Randy Young's monograph is geared more towards practitioners and even non-specialists, who want and, probably, should be cognizant of the exciting proven as well as potential benefits which have either already emerged or are likely to emerge from wavelet theory.
