Two tree-based methods for the waterfall
We present two new methods for the classical waterfall transform. Both methods are tree-based and easier to implement than the state-of-the-art. The Simplified Waterfall (SW) method is 32% faster than the state-of-the-art; the Balanced Waterfall (BW) method is 16% faster. The Balanced Waterfall method additionally handles non-minimal plateaux robustly.
