COMPLEX DIRECTIONAL WAVELET TRANSFORMS: REPRESENTATION, STATISTICAL MODELING AND APPLICATIONS AN PHUOC NHU VO, Ph.D. The University of Texas at Arlington, 2008 Supervising Professor: Soontorn Oraintara The thesis presents an new image decomposition for feature extraction, which is called the pyramidal dual-tree directional filter bank (PDTDFB). The image representation has an overcomplete ratio of less than 8/3 and uses a separable filter bank implementation structure. We discuss how to utilize both magnitude and phase information obtained from the PDTDFB for the purpose of texture image retrieval. The relative phase, which is the difference of phases between two adjacent complex coefficients, has a linear relationship with the angle of dominant orientation within a subband. This information is incorporated to form a new feature vector called CDFB-RP. Another application of PDTDFB is texture segmentation. A new feature extraction method is proposed for texture segmentation. The approach is based on incorporating the phase information obtained from complex filter banks. The PDTDFB is used to decompose a texture image in order to provide complex subband coefficients. The local mean direction, extracted from the phases of the coefficients, is defined as additional features for classification and segmentation. We proposed a modified version of the PDTDFB for image denoising. Unlike the previous approach, the new FB provides an approximately tight-frame decomposition. Then we proposed the complex Gaussian scale mixture (CGSM) for modeling the distribution of

Directional Multiresolution Image Representations
Efficient representation of visual information lies at the foundation of many image processing tasks, including compression, filtering, and feature extraction. Efficiency of a representation refers to the ability to capture significant information of an object of interest in a small description. For practical applications, this representation has to be realized by structured transforms and fast...
متن کاملContourlet-Based Edge Extraction for Image Registration
Image registration is a crucial step in most image processing tasks for which the final result is achieved from a combination of various resources. In general, the majority of registration methods consist of the following four steps: feature extraction, feature matching, transform modeling, and finally image resampling. As the accuracy of a registration process is highly dependent to the fe...
متن کاملRedundant representation with complex wavelets: how to achieve sparsity
Overcomplete transforms, like the Dual-Tree Complex Wavelet Transform, offer more flexible signal representations than critically-sampled transforms, due to their properties of shift invariance and directional selectivity. We show that many transform coefficients can be discarded without much reconstruction quality loss by forcing compensatory changes in the remaining coefficients. We consider ...
متن کاملOn the Construction of Discrete Directional Wavelets: HDWT, Space-Frequency Localization, and Redundancy Factor
We address the issue of constructing directional wavelet bases. After considering orthonormal directional wavelets whose Fourier transforms are indicator functions, we give a construction of directional wavelets with fast decay that is based on an hexagonal filter bank tree. An implementation for squarely sampled images and numerical results are presented. Then we discuss the frequency localiza...
متن کاملOn the Dual-Tree Complex Wavelet Packet and -Band Transforms
The two-band discrete wavelet transform (DWT) provides an octave-band analysis in the frequency domain, but this might not be “optimal” for a given signal. The discrete wavelet packet transform (DWPT) provides a dictionary of bases over which one can search for an optimal representation (without constraining the analysis to an octave-band one) for the signal at hand. However, it is well known t...
