STFT, DCT and Wavelets transformations

Understanding Transformations: Fourier Transform, DCT, and Wavelets Explained

In this informative Tutorial, we delve into various types of transformations used in signal processing and image analysis. Starting with a brief review of the Fourier Transform and its basics, we highlight its limitations, especially with non-stationary signals. We then introduce the Short-Time Fourier Transform (STFT), which offers time-frequency analysis by segmenting the signal into short chunks. Following this, we explore the Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT), emphasizing its efficiency and storage advantages. Finally, we cover wavelet transforms, including the Haar transform, and explain how wavelets offer a more nuanced approach to signal decomposition. This comprehensive overview provides viewers with the foundational knowledge necessary to apply these transformations in practical scenarios.
