c09faf computes the three-dimensional discrete wavelet transform (DWT) at a single level. The initialization routine c09acf must be called first to set up the DWT options.
The routine may be called by the names c09faf or nagf_wav_dim3_sngl_fwd.
3Description
c09faf 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 routine c09acf.

7: – IntegerInput
On entry: the dimension of the array c as declared in the (sub)program from which c09faf is called.
Constraint:
, where is the total number of wavelet coefficients, as returned by c09acf.
8: – Real (Kind=nag_wp) arrayOutput
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 c09fyforc09fzf 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 c09acf).
9: – Integer arrayCommunication Array
On entry: contains details of the discrete wavelet transform and the problem dimension as setup in the call to the initialization routine c09acf.
On exit: contains additional information on the computed transform.
10: – IntegerInput/Output
On entry: ifail must be set to , or to set behaviour on detection of an error; these values have no effect when no error is detected.
A value of causes the printing of an error message and program execution will be halted; otherwise program execution continues. A value of means that an error message is printed while a value of means that it is not.
If halting is not appropriate, the value or is recommended. If message printing is undesirable, then the value is recommended. Otherwise, the value is recommended. When the value or is used it is essential to test the value of ifail on exit.
On exit: unless the routine detects an error or a warning has been flagged (see Section 6).

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.
c09faf 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 c09fbf. This example also demonstrates in general how to access any set of coefficients following a single level transform.
