Wavelet transforms offer a multi-resolution analysis, decomposing images into different frequency components at different resolution scales, emphasizing the spatial and frequency attributes. By leveraging the hierarchical structure of wavelet coefficients, we construct a latent space representation preserving essential features while reducing dimensionality. Experimental evaluations on benchmark datasets demonstrate competitive performance in tasks such as compression and classification compared to traditional deep learning approaches. Waveletbased representation offers promise for addressing challenges in highdimensional data while retaining crucial image information for diverse processing tasks.
