c09fac computes the three-dimensional discrete wavelet transform (DWT) at a single level. The initialization function c09acc must be called first to set up the DWT options.
The function may be called by the names: c09fac, nag_wav_dim3_sngl_fwd or nag_dwt_3d.
3Description
c09fac computes the three-dimensional DWT of some given three-dimensional input data, considered as a number of two-dimensional frames, at a single level. For a chosen wavelet filter pair, the output coefficients are obtained by applying convolution and downsampling by two to the input data, , first over columns, next over rows and finally across frames. The three-dimensional approximation coefficients are produced by the low pass filter over columns, rows and frames. In addition there are sets of three-dimensional detail coefficients, each corresponding to a different order of low pass and high pass filters (see the C09 Chapter Introduction). All coefficients are packed into a single array. To reduce distortion effects at the ends of the data array, several end extension methods are commonly used. Those provided are: periodic or circular convolution end extension, half-point symmetric end extension, whole-point symmetric end extension and zero end extension. The total number, , of coefficients computed is returned by the initialization function c09acc.

5Arguments
1: – IntegerInput
On entry: the number of rows of each two-dimensional frame.
Constraint:
this must be the same as the value m passed to the initialization function c09acc.
2: – IntegerInput
On entry: the number of columns of each two-dimensional frame.
Constraint:
this must be the same as the value n passed to the initialization function c09acc.
3: – IntegerInput
On entry: the number of two-dimensional frames.
Constraint:
this must be the same as the value fr passed to the initialization function c09acc.
4: – const doubleInput

.
On entry: the three-dimensional input data , where is stored in .
5: – IntegerInput
On entry: the stride separating row elements of each of the sets of frame coefficients in the three-dimensional data stored in a.
Constraint:
.
6: – IntegerInput
On entry: the stride separating corresponding coefficients of consecutive frames in the three-dimensional data stored in a.
Constraint:
, where is the total number of wavelet coefficients, as returned by c09acc.
8: – doubleOutput
On exit: the coefficients of the discrete wavelet transform. If you need to access or modify the approximation coefficients or any specific set of detail coefficients then the use of c09fycorc09fzc is recommended. For completeness the following description provides details of precisely how the coefficients are stored in c but this information should only be required in rare cases.
The sets of coefficients are stored in the following order: approximation coefficients (LLL) first, followed by sets of detail coefficients: LLH, LHL, LHH, HLL, HLH, HHL, HHH, where L indicates the low pass filter, and H the high pass filter being applied to, respectively, the columns of length m, the rows of length n and then the frames of length fr. Note that for computational efficiency reasons each set of coefficients is stored in the order (see output arguments nwcfr, nwct and nwcn in c09acc).

7Accuracy
The accuracy of the wavelet transform depends only on the floating-point operations used in the convolution and downsampling and should thus be close to machine precision.
8Parallelism and Performance
Background information to multithreading can be found in the Multithreading documentation.
c09fac is threaded by NAG for parallel execution in multithreaded implementations of the NAG Library.

10Example
This example computes the three-dimensional discrete wavelet decomposition for input data using the Haar wavelet, , with half point end extension, prints the wavelet coefficients and then reconstructs the original data using c09fbc. This example also demonstrates in general how to access any set of coefficients following a single level transform.
