Characterization of Image Space of a Wavelet Transform

In this paper, Journe wavelet function is introduced as a wavelet generating function. The expression of reproducing kernel function for the image space of this wavelet transform is obtained based on the fact that the image space of the wavelet transform is a reproducing kernel Hilbert space. Then the isometric identity of Journe wavelet transform is obtained. The connections between the image space of the wavelet transform and the image space of the known reproducing kernel space are established by the theories of reproducing kernel. The properties and the structures of the image space of the wavelet transform can be characterized by the properties and the structures of the image space of the known reproducing kernel space. Using the ideas of reproducing kernel, we consider there are relations between the wavelet transform and the sampling theorem. Meanwhile, the approximations in sampling theorems is shown and the truncation error is given. This provides a theoretical basis for us to study the image space of the general wavelet transform and broadens the scope of application of theories of the reproducing kernel space.
