The Studies on the Choice of the Best Wavelet in Compressing IR by Wavelet Transformation Li Menglong, Kang bin#, Qi Huayi, Wen Zhining (Department of Chemistry, Sichuan University, Chengdu 610064) (#College of Light Industry and Food Engineering , Sichuan University, Chengdu 610065) Abstract This paper studied the influence of different type of wavelets on compressibility of infrared (IR) spectra. First, five representative IR spectra were selected from Aldrich library of FTIR spectra “Aldrich Condensed Phase”. Then four different wavelet families such as Daubechies wavelets, Coiflets wavelets, Symlets wavelets and biorthogonal wavelets at different order are selected for investigation. The results indicated that Daubechies wavelets which are often employed in the literatures do not hold the best compressibility, but biorthogonal wavelets do it, of which bior 4.4 and bior2.8 hold the best general compressibility.
