Syntax

s = scatteringTransform(sf,x)
[s,u] = scatteringTransform(sf,x)

Description

s = scatteringTransform(sf,x) returns the wavelet 1-D scattering transform of x with metadata for the wavelet time scattering network, sf. x is a real-valued vector, matrix, or 3-D array.

The precision of the scattering coefficients depends on the precision specified in the scattering network sf.

[s,u] = scatteringTransform(sf,x) also returns the scalogram coefficients for each of the scattering orders.

The precision of the scalogram coefficients depends on the precision specified in the scattering network sf.

This example shows how to return the wavelet 1-D scattering transform of a real-valued signal.

Load an ECG signal sampled at 180 Hz.

load wecg
Fs = 180;

Create a wavelet time scattering network to apply to the signal. Compute the scattering transform of the signal.

sf = waveletScattering('SignalLength',numel(wecg),...
    'SamplingFrequency',Fs)
sf = 
  waveletScattering with properties:

          SignalLength: 2048
       InvarianceScale: 5.6889
        QualityFactors: [8 1]
              Boundary: 'periodic'
     SamplingFrequency: 180
             Precision: 'double'
    OversamplingFactor: 0
          OptimizePath: 0


[S,U] = scatteringTransform(sf,wecg);

Plot the signal and the zeroth-order scattering coefficients. Note that the invariance scale is one half the duration of the signal.

t = [0:length(wecg)-1]/Fs;

Figure contains 2 axes objects. Axes object 1 with title ECG Signal, xlabel Seconds contains an object of type line. Axes object 2 with title Zeroth-Order Scattering Coefficients contains an object of type line.

Visualize the scattergram for the first-order scalogram coefficients.

Input Arguments

collapse all

Wavelet time scattering network, specified as a waveletScattering object.

Input data, specified as a real-valued vector, matrix, or 3-D array. If x is a vector, the number of samples in x must equal the SignalLength value of sf. If x is a matrix or 3-D array, the number of rows in x must equal the SignalLength value of sf. If x is 2-D, the first dimension is assumed to be time and the columns of x are assumed to be separate channels. If x is 3-D, the dimensions of x are Time-by-Channel-by-Batch.

Data Types: single | double

Output Arguments

Scattering coefficients, returned as a NO-by-1 cell array, where NO is the number of orders in sf.

Each element of s is a MATLAB® table with the following variables:

Scattering coefficients, returned as a cell array. If x is a vector, each element of signals is a Ns-by-1 vector, where Ns is the number of scattering coefficients. If x is 2-D, each element of signals is a Ns-by-Nc matrix, where Nc is the number of channels in x. If x is 3-D, each element of signals is a Ns-by-Nc-by-Nb array, where Nb is the number of batches in x.

Data Types: single | double

Scattering path used to obtain the scattering coefficients, returned as a row vector. Each column of path corresponds to one element of the path. The scalar 0 denotes the original signal. Positive integers in the Lth column denote the corresponding wavelet filter in the (L-1)th filter bank. Wavelet bandpass filters are ordered by decreasing center frequency.

Data Types: double

Bandwidth of the scattering coefficients, returned as a scalar. If you specify a sampling frequency in the scattering network, the bandwidth is in hertz. Otherwise, the bandwidth is in cycles/sample.

Data Types: double

Base-2 log resolution of the scattering coefficients, returned as a scalar.

Data Types: double

Scalogram coefficients, returned as a NO-by-1 cell array, where NO is the number of orders in sf. The ith element of u are the scalogram coefficients for the ith row of s.

Each element of u is a MATLAB table with the following variables:

Scalogram coefficients, returned as a cell array. If x is a vector, each element of coefficients is a Nu-by-1 vector, where Nu is the number of scalogram coefficients. If x is 2-D, each element of coefficients is a Nu-by-Nc matrix, where Nc is the number of channels in x. If x is 3-D, each element of coefficients is a Nu-by-Nc-by-Nb array, where Nb is the number of batches in x.

Note that u{1} contains the original data in the coefficients variable.

Tips

  • The scatteringTransform function calls featureMatrix to generate the scattering and scalogram coefficients. If you only require the coefficients themselves, for improved performance the recommended approach is to use featureMatrix. Use scatteringTransform if you are also interested in the coefficients metadata.
