Gabor frames, especially digital Gabor filters, have long been known as indispensable tools for local time-frequency analysis of discrete signals. With strong orientation selectivity, tensor products discrete (tight) Gabor frames also see their applications in image analysis and restoration. However, the lack of multi-scale structures existing in MRA-based wavelet (tight) frames makes discrete ...

Sufficient conditions for a trigonometric polynomial to be refinement mask corresponding tight wavelet frame are obtained. The condition is formulated in terms of the roots mask. In particular, it proved that any can serve as if its associated algebraic has only negative (of course at least one them equals −1).

This work characterizes (dyadic homogeneous) wavelet frames for $$L^2({{\mathbb {R}}})$$ by means of spectral techniques. These techniques use decomposability properties the frame operator in representations associated with dilation operator. The approach is closely related to usual Fourier domain fiberization techniques, dual Gramian analysis, and extension principles. Spectral formulas are us...
