Version: 0.2.3
Maintainer: J. Antonio Guzmán Q. <antguz06@gmail.com>
Description: Fast application of Continuous Wavelet Transformation ('CWT') on time series with special attention to spectroscopy. It is written using data.table and 'C++' language and in some functions it is possible to use parallel processing to speed-up the computation over samples. Currently, only the second derivative of a Gaussian wavelet function is implemented.

Continuous Wavelet Transform

Description

Compute a 1D continuous wavelet transformation using 2st order derivative Gaussian wavelet.

Usage

cwt(t, scales, variance = 1, summed_wavelet = FALSE, threads = 1L)

Arguments

t

A data.table, matrix, or numeric vector where columns or values represent time (i.e., bands) and rows samples (i.e., pixels). Remember the transformation assume that columns or values are evenly spaced though time (i.e., bands at equal to sampling interval).

scales

A positive numeric vector describing the scales to compute. The minimum scale (i.e., scales = 1) is equal to sampling interval between columns.

variance

A positive numerber describing the variance of the Gaussian PDF used to scale. Default variance = 1.

summed_wavelet

If TRUE, it returns the sum of scales. If FALSE, each scale is returned.

threads

An integer specifying the number of threads to use. Experiment to see what works best for your data on your hardware.

Value

If summed_wavelet = TRUE, it returns a data.table where columns are the sum of wavelet scales. If summed_wavelet = FALSE, it returns an array (i.e., time, samples, and scales).

Examples


time_series <- sin(seq(0, 20 * pi, length.out = 100))

# Using a numeric vector

cwt(t = time_series,
    scales = c(1, 2, 3, 4, 5),
    summed_wavelet = FALSE)

cwt(t = time_series,
    scales = c(1, 2, 3, 4, 5),
    summed_wavelet = TRUE)

# Using a matrix

times <- 100
frame <- matrix(rep(time_series, times),
                nrow = times,
                byrow = TRUE)

cwt(t = frame,
    scales = c(1, 2, 3, 4, 5),
    summed_wavelet = FALSE)

cwt(t = frame,
    scales = c(1, 2, 3, 4, 5),
    summed_wavelet = TRUE)

Full Width Half Maximum Resampling

Description

It resample spectra data using Full Width Half Maximum (FWHM).

Usage

resampling_FWHM(spectra, wavelengths, new_wavelengths, FWHM, threads = 1L)

Arguments

spectra

A data.table, data.frame, or matrix where columns represent bands and rows samples (i.e., pixels).

wavelengths

A numeric vector describing the current positioning of the spectral bands within spectra.

new_wavelengths

A numeric vector describing positioning of the new spectral bands to resample.

FWHM

A numeric vector describing the Full Width Half Maximums of the new spectral bands. The length of this vector should be equal than the length of new_wavelengths.

threads

An integer specifying the number of threads to use. Experiment to see what works best for your data on your hardware.

Value

It returns a data.table with the resampled spectra, where columns are the new bands and rows are samples. New bands whose FWHM window falls partially outside the range of wavelengths are returned as NA.

Examples


mean <- 50
sd1 <- 5
sd2 <- 10
n <- 100

test <- matrix(c(dnorm(1:n, mean = mean, sd = sd1),
               dnorm(1:n, mean = mean, sd = sd2)),
               nrow = 2,
               byrow = TRUE)

current_bands <- 1:n
new_bands <- seq(10, 90, by = 5)
FHWM <- rep(5, length(new_bands))

resampling_FWHM(spectra = test,
                wavelengths = current_bands,
                new_wavelengths = new_bands,
                FWHM = FHWM)
