How to calculate wavelet energy?

Part of my assignment about signal processing says the following:





  • Compute the Discrete Wavelet Transform for the input signals

  • Group the wavelet coefficients in trees growing across scales

  • Classify the trees in high- and low-energy trees




I've managed to implement my own DWT, calculate the coefficients and group them in trees.



Now I'm left with calculating the energy of the wavelet coefficients.




Question: How to calculate the energy of wavelet coefficients?




I am doing this in Matlab.

          If such coefficients are calculated from an orthonormal basis, rather than from a redundant wavelet transform like the discrete case of a CWT, then the energy is the sum of the square of the absoute values of those coefficients, because orthonormal wavelet bases converge in norm, and the energy of a signal is defined as the integral of its absolute value.
