imwr.imwd: Inverse two-dimensional discrete wavelet transform.

In wavethresh: Wavelets Statistics and Transforms

Inverse two-dimensional discrete wavelet transform.

Description

This functions performs the reconstruction stage of Mallat's pyramid algorithm (i.e. the inverse discrete wavelet transform) for images.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'imwd'
imwr(imwd, bc=imwd$bc, verbose=FALSE, ...) 

Arguments

imwd	An object of class 'imwd'. This type of object is returned by 'imwd'.
bc	This argument specifies the boundary handling, it is best left to be the boundary handling specified by that in the supplied imwd (as is the default).
verbose	If this argument is true then informative messages are printed detailing the computations to be performed
...	any other arguments

Details

Details of the algorithm are to be found in Mallat (1989). Similarly to the decomposition function, imwd the inverse algorithm works by applying many 1D reconstruction algorithms to the coefficients. The filters in these 1D reconstructions are incorporated in the supplied imwd.object and originally created by the filter.select function in WaveThresh3.

This function is a method for the generic function imwr for class imwd.object. It can be invoked by calling imwr for an object of the appropriate class, or directly by calling imwr.imwd regardless of the class of the object.

Value

A matrix, of dimension determined by the original data set supplied to the initial decomposition (more precisely, determined by the nlevelsWT component of the imwd.object). This matrix is the highest resolution level of the reconstruction. If a imwd two-dimensional wavelet transform is followed immediately by a imwr inverse two-dimensional wavelet transform then the returned matrix will be exactly the same as the original image.

Examples

#
# Do a decomposition, then exact reconstruction
# Look at the error

test.image <- matrix(rnorm(32*32), nrow=32)
#
# Test image is just some sort of  square matrix whose side length
# is a power of two.
