What is haarwavelet?

Haar wavelet is a type of wavelet transformation named after the Hungarian mathematician Alfréd Haar. It is a simple and computationally efficient wavelet that can be used for signal processing and image compression tasks.

The Haar wavelet is characterized by a wavelet function that alternates between values of -1 and 1 over a certain interval, typically from 0 to 1. This piecewise constant function is often used to analyze signals with sudden changes or sharp edges.

Haar wavelet transformation involves decomposing a signal or image into its low-frequency and high-frequency components by applying a series of filtering and downsampling operations. This allows for efficient representation and compression of the signal while preserving important features.

Haar wavelets have applications in various fields such as image and audio processing, data compression, and denoising. They are commonly used in conjunction with other wavelet transforms to achieve better results in different types of signals and images.
