functioncwt

One-dimensional continuous wavelet transform with a given wavelet function

Information

One-dimensional CWT transforms a vector to a two dimensional image. The first dimension (horizontal axis) is the same as the original data. The second dimension (vertical axis) is the scale, similar to frequency. The scales are defined by the input parameter, scales. Larger scale values correspond to lower frequencies.

Refer to the section of wavelet Families for the detailed information about the available wavelets.

The default input values provide a quick example with a simple saw-tooth signal.
