what is the basic difference between the Discrete Fourier Transform and the Wavelet Transform ? and why does JPEG2000 preferred DWT over DCT or DFT ?

    "what is the basic difference" - they use different... wait for it... *basis functions*. DFT uses complex exponentials, while DWT uses wavelet functions.2012-04-19
