Abstract The previous researcher has endorsed the improvement of wavelet analysis, a new mechanism that appears from
mathematics and was rapidly accept by distinct fields of engineering and science. In the concise period since its formation in 1987-88, it
has reached a convinced level of ability as a well-defined mathematical discipline, with its own conferences, journals, research
monographs, and textbooks proliferating at a rapid rate. Wavelet analysis has proceeding to play a serious role in a broad range of
utilization, containing data and image compression, signal processing, a solution of partial differential equations, modeling multiscale
phenomena, and statistics. There seems to be no limit to the subjects where it may have utility.Our aim is to explore some additional
topics that extend the basic ideas of wavelet analysis.

Keywords-Discrete wavelet transforms, image processing, noise removal, median filter, PSNR

wavelet transforms, and in the next section examine some
examples illustrating their applications. II. HAAR WAVELET TRANSFORM
All wavelet packet transforms are calculated in a similar
way. Therefore we shall concentrate initially on the Haar Suppose for simplicity we assume an input vector

Haar wavelet packet transform is usually referred to as the

of variable we see that 2m/2 (2m t n) is an orthonormal
system. Vm will denote its closed linear span. Since any
function in L2 (R) may be approximated by a piecewise
constant function fm with jumps at binary rationals, it follows
that is dense in L2 (R). Thus the system mn where

mn (t) = 2m/2 (2m t - n), (1.2)

is complete in L2 (R), but, since (t) and ( 2t ) are not

orthogonal, it is not an orthogonal system. We must modify it
somehow to convert it into an orthogonal system [3].
Fortunately the cure is simple; we let t 2t - 2t -

and 2t - k and t - n are orthogonal for all k and n. This
enables us to deduce that mn m,nZ, where

mn (t) = 2m/2 (2mt n), (1.3)

is a complete orthonormal system in L2 (R). this is the Haar

system; the expansion of f L2 (R)is
