A Note on Spherical Needlets

Author name not available (Why is that?)

Publication date: 21 August 2015

Abstract: Compared with the traditional spherical harmonics, the spherical needlets are a new generation of spherical wavelets that possess several attractive properties. Their double localization in both spatial and frequency domains empowers them to easily and sparsely represent functions with small spatial scale features. This paper is divided into two parts. First, it reviews the spherical harmonics and discusses their limitations in representing functions with small spatial scale features. To overcome the limitations, it introduces the spherical needlets and their attractive properties. In the second part of the paper, a Matlab package for the spherical needlets is presented. The properties of the spherical needlets are demonstrated by several examples using the package.
