The main contribution of this paper is the definition of wavelets over non nested tetrahedral grids, allowing the representation of functions defined on an a irregular tetrahedralization. In this way, it is possible to represent different attributes of a 3D object such as its color, brightness, density, etc. This representation consists of a set of coefficients corresponding to a coarse resolution followed by a set of detail coefficients that measures the error between two successive approximations. In this work the analysis matrix that allows going from a fine to a coarser resolution and the synthesis matrix needed for going from a coarse resolution to a finer one, are presented. All this is within the framework of non nested tetrahedral grids.
