What is the significance of orthogonality in wavelets design?

306 Views Asked by At

I have come across a condition which states that wavelets must satisfy the condition of orthogonality but I am not sure what is the EXACT reason behind that? Is it to ensure that the scaled version of a wavelet function and it's translates do not overlap while representing the original function??

I am quite new in this area so please try to explain it in a simple way.

Thank You !!!
