12 I do not include a detection module because this implies

13 the use of certain thresholds. Although the casting

parents:

14 methods are almost standardized (multiplicative formula)
Peter Meerwald <pmeerw@cosy.sbg.ac.at>
parents:
diff changeset
15 there are still questions about this thresholding but
Peter Meerwald <pmeerw@cosy.sbg.ac.at>

21 In all casting programs we assume that the coefficients are

22 diagonaly scanned,and ordered as shown in the following example.

43 which means that we shouldn't exceed the matrix diagonal.
Peter Meerwald <pmeerw@cosy.sbg.ac.at>
parents:
diff changeset
44 To do so the scanning scheme should be changed accordingly
Peter Meerwald <pmeerw@cosy.sbg.ac.at>
parents:
diff changeset
45 but this doesn't seem important because in all of the
Peter Meerwald <pmeerw@cosy.sbg.ac.at>
parents:

46 schemes we don't get out of the middle frequencies coefs.

47 With correctly selected parameters,the schemes perform in

52 alter and alpha parameter, refer to the LH,HL and HH

Peter Meerwald <pmeerw@cosy.sbg.ac.at>

56 All schemes should not be used with the same set of parameters
Peter Meerwald <pmeerw@cosy.sbg.ac.at>
parents:
diff changeset
57 because each of the transforms, possess certain specific
