The continuous wavelet transform cwt still uses discretely sampled data, however the shifting process is a smooth operation across the length of the sampled data, and the scaling can be defined from the minimum original signal scale to a maximum chosen by the user, thus giving a much finer resolution. Scale, position,t dt the results of the cwt are wavelet coefficients c, which are a function of scale and position.
