From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
wavelet          A waveform that is bounded in both {frequency}       and duration.   Wavelet tranforms provide an alternative to       more traditional {Fourier transforms} used for analysing       waveforms, e.g. sound.          The {Fourier transform} converts a signal into a continuous       series of {sine waves}, each of which is of constant frequency       and {amplitude} and of infinite duration.   In contrast, most       real-world signals (such as music or images) have a finite       duration and abrupt changes in frequency.          Wavelet transforms convert a signal into a series of wavelets.       In theory, signals processed by the wavelet transform can be       stored more efficiently than ones processed by Fourier       transform.   Wavelets can also be constructed with rough edges,       to better approximate real-world signals.          For example, the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation       found that Fourier transforms proved inefficient for       approximating the whorls of fingerprints but a wavelet       transform resulted in crisper reconstructed images.          {SBG Austria (http://www.mat.sbg.ac.at/~uhl/wav.html)}.          ["Ten Lectures on Wavelets", Ingrid Daubechies].          (1994-11-09)
