Examples
Extract and Display 2-D Stationary Wavelet Decomposition
Load and display an image.
load woman imagesc(X) colormap(map) title('Original')
Perform the stationary wavelet decomposition of the image at level 2 using db6
.
[ca,chd,cvd,cdd] = swt2(X,2,'db6');
Extract the level 1 and level 2 approximation and detail coefficients from the decomposition.
A1 = wcodemat(ca(:,:,1),255); H1 = wcodemat(chd(:,:,1),255); V1 = wcodemat(cvd(:,:,1),255); D1 = wcodemat(cdd(:,:,1),255); A2 = wcodemat(ca(:,:,2),255); H2 = wcodemat(chd(:,:,2),255); V2 = wcodemat(cvd(:,:,2),255); D2 = wcodemat(cdd(:,:,2),255);
Display the approximation and detail coefficients from the two levels.

Stationary Wavelet Transform of RGB Image
This example shows how to obtain single-level and multilevel stationary wavelet decompositions of an RGB image.
Load and view an RGB image. The image is a 3-D array of type uint8
. Since swt2
requires that the first and second dimensions both be divisible by a power of 2, extract a portion of the image.
imdata = imread('ngc6543a.jpg'); x = imdata(1:512,1:512,:); image(x) title('RGB Image')
Obtain the level 4 stationary wavelet decomposition of the image using the db4
wavelet. Return the approximation coefficients. Note the dimensions of the coefficients array.
[a,~,~,~] = swt2(x,4,'db4');
size(a)
ans = 1×4
512 512 3 4
The coefficients are all of type double
. In an RGB array of type double
, each color component is a value between 0 and 1. Rescale the level 2 approximation coefficients to values between 0 and 1 and view the result.
a2 = a(:,:,:,2);
a2 = (a2-min(a2(:)))/(max(a2(:))-min(a2(:)));
image(a2)
title('Level 2 Approximation')
Obtain the single-level stationary wavelet decomposition of the image using the db4
wavelet. Return the approximation coefficients. In a single-level decomposition of an RGB image, the third dimension is singleton.
[a,~,~,~] = swt2(x,1,'db4');
size(a)
ans = 1×4
512 512 1 3
View the approximation coefficients. To prevent an error when using image
, squeeze the approximation coefficients array to remove the singleton dimension.
a2 = squeeze(a);
a2 = (a2-min(a(:)))/(max(a(:))-min(a(:)));
image(a2)

Input Arguments
X
— Input image
2-D matrix | 3-D array
Input image, specified as a real-valued 2-D matrix or real-valued 3-D array. If
X
is 3-D, X
is assumed to be an RGB image,
also referred to as a truecolor image, and the third dimension of
X
must equal 3. For more information on truecolor images, see
Working with Image Types in MATLAB.
Data Types: double
N
— Level of decomposition
positive integer
Level of decomposition, specified as a positive integer.
2N must divide size(X,1)
and
size(X,2)
. Use wmaxlev
to determine the maximum level of decomposition.
wname
— Analyzing wavelet
character vector | string scalar
Analyzing wavelet, specified as a character vector or string scalar.
swt2
supports only Type 1 (orthogonal) or Type 2 (biorthogonal)
wavelets. See wfilters
for a list of orthogonal and
biorthogonal wavelets.

— Wavelet decomposition filters
even-length real-valued vectors
Wavelet decomposition filters, specified as a pair of even-length real-valued
vectors. LoD
is the lowpass decomposition filter, and
HiD
is the highpass decomposition filter. The lengths of
LoD

A
depend on the dimensions of the input X

Algorithms
2-D Discrete Stationary Wavelet Transform
For images, a stationary wavelet transform (SWT) algorithm similar to the one-dimensional case is possible for two-dimensional wavelets and scaling functions obtained from one-dimensional functions by tensor product. This kind of two-dimensional SWT leads to a decomposition of approximation coefficients at level j into four components: the approximation at level j+1, and the details in three orientations (horizontal, vertical, and diagonal).
This chart describes the basic decomposition step for images.

— Convolve the rows of the entry with filter X.

, where s equals the size of the
analyzed image.
Truecolor Image Coefficient Arrays
To distinguish a single-level decomposition of a truecolor image from a multilevel decomposition of an indexed image, the approximation and detail coefficient arrays of truecolor images are 4-D arrays.
If you perform a multilevel decomposition, the dimensions of
A
,H
,V
, andD
are m-by-n-by-3-by-k, where k is the level of decomposition.If you perform a single-level decomposition, the dimensions of
A
,H
,V
, andD
are m-by-n-by-1-by-3. Since MATLAB removes singleton last dimensions by default, the third dimension of the arrays is singleton.
