Huygens Wave Equations in the Field of 2D-CWT (1503.05820v1)

Abstract: In this paper it is shown the performing of an optical transform to state the scalar diffraction in the formulation of the wavelet transform and the 'wave equations'. From there, a bridge is build between equations of spherical waves presented in 1678 by Huygens and the continuous wavelet transform. For such a purpose, wavelets are introduced that meet the principles of waves and the properties of wavelets. The following equations are applied in solution to show a correspondence between the Huygens-Fresnel diffraction and the wavelet transform.
