| Catch a Wavelet |
| Scope |
| Catch a Wavelet (CAW) is EPFL's wavelet interest group. Meetings consist of informal presentations on wavelets and related topics followed by group discussions. This year, we alternate between invited presentations by international wavelet authorities and contributed presentations by EPFL researchers. The seminars are open to anyone interested in learning more about wavelets, regardless of their own field of specialization. CAW's meetings are a cross-fertilization platform among different research fields, wavelets being the common denominator. The CAW meetings are also the right place to meet wavelet enthusiasts/gurus and bug them with all the questions you may have on this fascinating subject. |
| Schedule |
|
The meetings will take place every two weeks on Thursday at 17:00, click on the topic to see the location for each date. Warning: this program might be subject to changes.

|
 |
wavelet design and theory |
|
application of wavelets and multiresolution algorithms in engineering, mathematics and physics |
|
wavelets in image and signal processing, compression, visualization, noise reduction, texture analysis and segmentation, biomedical imaging, feature extraction and detection etc... |
|
wavelets applied to [add your favourite subject here]. |
|
| The talks are usually held in english. All speakers are strongly encouraged to give tutorial-level presentations for these meetings to attain their cross-fertilizing objective. |
| Contact and mailing list |
| This year's catch a wavelet organizers are Ildar Khalidov, Biomedical Imaging Group and Ivana Jovanovic, Audiovisual Communications Laboratory.

| History |
|
The CAW meetings were born after a group of wavelet enthusiasts at EPFL had attended a stimulating workshop in Monte Verita, Switzerland in September 1998
(Wavelet Application Workshop (WAW)). Past organizers of these meetings were Pina Marziliano (1998-99),
Minh Do and Arrate Muñoz (2000), Minh Do, Pierre Vandergheynst and Arrate Muñoz (2001), Michael Liebling (2003).
The abstracts of all past seminars are available.
