Wavelet transform in two dimensions
The document discusses the wavelet transform in two dimensions. It begins by explaining that the wavelet transform decomposes data into different frequency components using variable length windows tailored to each scale. For image processing, two-dimensional wavelets are required. The two-dimensional wavelet transform can be implemented using separable filters that are applied first along rows then columns. This results in approximation, horizontal, vertical and diagonal detail coefficients. The document provides examples of applying the two-dimensional discrete wavelet transform to images and discusses applications such as denoising.

The document discusses the innovation process from idea generation through commercialization. It begins with an idea that is developed through research, development, production, marketing and sale. User experience then provides feedback to improve the innovation. The stages of new product development include idea generation, screening, concept development, business analysis, testing, implementation and commercialization. Intellectual property adds value at each stage and an IP strategy should be part of the overall business strategy.
Urban renewal within the economical downturn
This document discusses creative careers and urban development during economic downturns. It contains the following key points:

Fertilizing imagination july 2014
This document discusses fostering innovation through frugality. It suggests that frugality can manifest in form, features, and functions through approaches like:
- Developing low-cost, modular solutions that allow adding features over time
- Designing products for circularity, affordability, durability, and multi-functionality
- Pursuing reciprocal open innovation to share ideas across sectors
Frugality is presented as a way to do more with less through grassroots innovation, adapting existing technologies, and meeting needs in novel ways. Nurturing frugal ideas involves incubation approaches like strategic trials and user-led modifications.

Patrick Schofield: "Crowdfunding – There Art Thou, Innovation"
Crowdfunding is a method of raising funds from a large number of people where individuals make small contributions to fund a project. It has grown significantly in recent years due to the rise of crowdfunding platforms online that allow projects to share their ideas and offer rewards to backers. There are different types of crowdfunding including donations, equity, lending, and rewards-based crowdfunding. Successfully crowdfunding a project requires having a clear and well-defined idea or product, offering rewards to backers, and allocating sufficient time and resources to preparing and running a campaign.
