Wavelet Transforms - Kith and Kin (Hardcover)

This is the only book which encompassing the theories of Fourier transforms, wavelet transforms and their chronological geometrical ramifications including polar wavelet transforms, ridgelet transforms, curvelet transforms, contourlet transforms, shearlet transforms, bendlet transforms, taylorlet transforms and so on. There is an urgent need for a text that explains the fundamental concepts underlying the theory of wavelet transforms together with the chronological developments in research to the most contemporary ramifications in a flavor accessible to graduate students and researchers. The need for a contemporary coverage of wavelet transforms in a new textbook at the graduate level, encompassing the current research, is there. This book will address this need.
