 Ingrid Daubechies Summary
Daubechies credits her parents with giving her a love of learning and her mother with teaching her by example to be her own person.
Daubechies changed all that when she discovered a way to break signals down into wavelets instead of breaking them down into their components; a task thought by most mathematicians to be impossible.
Ingrid Daubechies (born August 17, 1954) (approximate pronunciation "Dobe-uh-shee") is a Belgian physicist and mathematician.

 Daubechies wavelet - Computer vision - A Wikia wiki
Named after Ingrid Daubechies, the Daubechies wavelet is a wavelet used to convolve image data.
The JPEG 2000 compression standard uses the biorthogonal Daubechies 5/3 wavelet (also called the LeGall 5/3 wavelet) for lossless compression and the Daubechies 9/7 (also known as the Cohen-Daubechies-Fauraue 9/7 or the "CDF 9/7") for lossy compression.
Daubechies wavelet is widely used in solving a broad range of problems, e.g.

 Profiles of Women in Mathematics: Ingrid Daubechies
Ingrid Daubechies grew up in Belgium and received both her bachelor's and Ph.D. degrees (in 1975 and 1980) from the Free University in Brussels.
As far as she can remember, she was always interested in mathematics and how things worked, and from an early age, was encouraged by her father, a civil mining engineer, and her mother, a criminologist, to pursue her interest in science.
Daubechies has been very involved in helping communicate mathematics to the public, in particular in coming up with ideas for the K-12 mathematics curriculum that reflect present-day applications of mathematics.

Professor Daubechies was awarded a Steele Prize for mathematical exposition in 1994 by the American Mathematical Society for her book, "Ten Lectures on Wavelets".
We quote from the citation for the award: The concept of wavelets has its origins in many fields, and part of the accomplishment of Daubechies is finding those places where the concept arose and showing how all the approaches relate to one another.
With Daubechies' work, Haar wavelets have been shown to be the first in a whole family of compactly supported nonsmooth wavelets: beautiful exmaples of functions with fractal higher derivatives.

 Newsletter #32 4/15/97
Ingrid Daubechies' reply, which began with the word itself and progressed through the development of the whole theory, had every one of us on the edge of our seat for fifteen minutes, and was far too fascinating to be left untold.
At about this stage Ingrid, who did all of her degree work in abstract physics but came into mathematics in the process of making sense of it all, began working with wavelets.
Coming at it from the outside of the field, he made an observation: all of the computations were done with a highly redundant set of wavelets, and it was clear that the implicit assumption within the field was that this was a necessity, i.e., that there could not exist an orthonormal basis.

 The Daubechies D4 Wavelet Transform
The Daubechies wavelet transform is named after its inventor (or would it be discoverer?), the mathematician Ingrid Daubechies.
One of the elegant features of Lifting Scheme versions of the wavelet transform is the fact that the inverse transform is a mirror of the forward transform, which addition and subtraction operations interchanged.
The final scaling value in the Daubechies D4 transform is not the average of the data set (the average of the data set is 25.9375), as it is in the case of the Haar transform.

The transfer function was formed by systematically retaining the zeros inside the unit circle in the course of the spectral factorization procedure.
This corresponds precisely to picking all the roots inside the unit circle and it leads to the Daubechies filter we discussed in Section  HYPERLINK "http://documents.wolfram.com/applications/wavelet/FundamentalsofWavelets/1.4.2.html" 1.4.2.
We define the smallest phase deviation to be the one that gives the smallest area under the absolute value of the phase curve.
