WELCOME TO THE WAVELET TOOL DEMO
The Wavelet tool is a widget application program
that graphically demonstrates the image compression
capabilities of Wavelet Transforms.
THE WAVELET TOOL DISPLAY
------------------------
The Wavelet tool display screen includes the
following elements:
- A group of menus at the top of the display
controlling the program options.
- A 256x256 byte display of the uncompressed image.
- A 256x256 byte display of the compressed image.
- A visual display of the wavelet basis of both
the original image and the compressed image.
- A graph showing the ratio between actual values
in the wavelet basis (Y) and the percentage of
compression (X) that would result if the Y
value was used as the threshold for compression.
- An optional 256x256 byte display window that
displays the difference between the compressed
and uncompressed images. The difference image
has been byte scaled.
MENU OPTIONS
------------
File Menu:
Select "Open" to select a new image. A list
of files will appear. Click on one of the
listed items to select a new image.
Select "Quit" to exit the Wavelet demo.
Options Menu:
Select "4 coefficients" to compute the wavelet
basis using 4 Daubechies coefficients.
Select "12 coefficients" to comput the wavelet
basis using 12 Daubechies coefficients.
Select "20 coefficients" to comput the wavelet
basis using 20 Daubechies coefficients.
Select "Show difference image" to create a
pop-up window that shows the difference
between the original an compressed images.
Tools Menu:
Select "XLoadCT" to activate the XLOADCT
routine, which allows you to select a new
color table for the displayed images.
Select "XPalette" to activate the XPALETTE
routine, which allows you to create your
own color table.
Select "XMNtool" to activate the XMANTOOL
routine, which allows you to control the
currently-running widget applications.
About Menu:
Select "About wavelets" to display this file.
FEATURES OF THE WAVELET DEMO
----------------------------
<<PERCENTAGE SLIDER>>
Adjust the slider to change the amount of
compression used. Higher percentage compression
values mean smaller data sets.
You can also adjust the compression percentage
by positioning the mouse pointer in the
"Adjust compression" plot, holding down the
left mouse button, and dragging the vertical
line that appears in the plot.
