wenergy

Energy for 1-D wavelet or wavelet packet decomposition

collapse all in page

    Syntax

    [Ea,Ed] = wenergy(c,l)
    E = wenergy(wpt)

    Description

    example

    [Ea,Ed] = wenergy(c,l) returns, for a 1-D wavelet decomposition, Ea, the percentage of energy corresponding to the approximation, and Ed, the percentages of energies corresponding to the details. c and l are outputs of wavedec.

    E = wenergy(wpt) returns the percentages of energy corresponding to the terminal nodes of the wavelet packet tree wpt (see wptree, wpdec, and wpdec2). In this case, wenergy is a method of the wptree object wpt, which overloads the previous wenergy function.

    Open Live Script

    Load a 1-D signal.

    load noisbump

    Obtain the 4-level wavelet decomposition of the signal using the sym4 wavelet.

    wv = "sym4";
[c,l] = wavedec(noisbump,4,wv);

    Obtain the percentages of energy in the approximation and details coefficients.

    [Ea,Ed] = wenergy(c,l)
    Ea = 88.2860

    Ed = 1×4

    2.1560    1.2286    1.4664    6.8630

    Obtain the wavelet packet tree corresponding to the 3-level wavelet packet decomposition of the signal using the sym4 wavelet.

    t = wpdec(noisbump,3,wv);

    Obtain the percentages of energy in the terminal nodes.

    e = wenergy(t)
    e = 1×8

    Input Arguments

    collapse all

    Wavelet decomposition, specified as a vector. The vector contains the wavelet coefficients. The bookkeeping vector l contains the number of coefficients by level. See wavedec.

    Data Types: single | double
    Complex Number Support: Yes

    Bookkeeping vector, specified as a vector of positive integers. The bookkeeping vector is used to parse the coefficients in the wavelet decomposition c by level. See wavedec.

    Data Types: single | double

    Wavelet packet tree, specified as a wptree object. See wptree, wpdec, and wpdec2.

    Output Arguments
