Title

Phase Retrieval of Bandlimited Functions for the Wavelet Transform


Speaker

Francesca Bartolucci - ETH Zürich


Abstract

We study the problem of phase retrieval in which one aims to recover a function from the magnitude of its wavelet transform. It is already known that if the wavelet is a Cauchy wavelet, then the modulus of the wavelet transform uniquely determines the analytic part of any square-integrable function. We consider bandlimited functions and derive new uniqueness results for phase retrieval, where the wavelet itself can be complex-valued. In particular, we prove the first uniqueness result for the case that the wavelet has a finite number of vanishing moments. In addition, we establish the first result on unique reconstruction from samples of the wavelet transform magnitude when the wavelet coefficients are complex-valued.
