Slepian Scale-Discretised Wavelets in Python

SLEPLET

SLEPLET is a Python package for the construction of Slepian wavelets in the spherical and manifold (via meshes) settings. The API of SLEPLET has been designed in an object-orientated manner and is easily extendible. Upon installation, SLEPLET comes with two command line interfaces - sphere and mesh - which allows one to easily generate plots on the sphere and a set of meshes using plotly.

To read more about Slepian wavelets please see the following publications

Installation

The recommended way to install SLEPLET is via pip

pip install sleplet

To install the latest development version of SLEPLET clone this repository and run

pip install -e .

This will install two scripts sphere and mesh which can be used to generate the figures in the associated papers.

Supported Platforms

SLEPLET has been tested with . Windows is not currently supported as SLEPLET relies on pyssht and pys2let which do not work on Windows. These can hopefully be replaced with s2fft and s2wav in the future when they are available on PyPI.

Example Usage

SLEPLET may be interacted with via the API or the CLIs.

API Usage

The following demonstrates the first wavelet (ignoring the scaling function) of the South America region on the sphere.

import sleplet

B, J, J_MIN, L = 3, 0, 2, 128

region = sleplet.slepian.Region(mask_name="south_america")
f = sleplet.functions.SlepianWavelets(L, region=region, B=B, j_min=J_MIN, j=J)
f_sphere = sleplet.slepian_methods.slepian_inverse(f.coefficients, f.L, f.slepian)
sleplet.plotting.PlotSphere(
    f_sphere,
    f.L,
    f"slepian_wavelets_south_america_{B}B_{J_MIN}jmin_{J_MIN+J}j_L{L}",
    normalise=False,
    region=f.region,
).execute()

CLI Usage

The demonstrates the first wavelet (ignoring the scaling function) of the head region of a Homer Simpson mesh for a per-vertex normals field.

mesh homer -e 3 2 0 -m slepian_wavelet_coefficients -u -z
