A Few Examples of Pictures (Using MATLAB or c++):

Fig.5.40 Continuous Wavelet Transform (by Gauss-Derivative Wavelet) of an artificial Signal that consists of:
(1) a Gauss window,
(2) its Derivative x104,
(3) its 2nd derivative,
(4) a triangular fct.
(5) a short sinusoid,
(6) a Dirac,
(7) a Morlet wavelet,
(8) a short staircase,
(9) a short random series,
(10) an increasing then decreasing oscillating structure.
Total length=512.

Fig.5.41 Same signal as before but the analysing wavelet is a morlet. It is a Continuous Morlet Wavelet Transform.
