Resolution of the Wavefront Set Using Continuous Shearlets

چکیده
It is known that the Continuous Wavelet Transform of a distribution f decays rapidly near the points where f is smooth, while it decays slowly near the irregular points. This property allows the identification of the singular support of f . However, the Continuous Wavelet Transform is unable to describe the geometry of the set of singularities of f and, in particular, identify the wavefront set of a distribution. In this paper, we employ the same framework of affine systems which is at the core of the construction of the wavelet transform to introduce the Continuous Shearlet Transform. This is defined by SHψf(a, s, t) = 〈f, ψast〉, where the analyzing elements ψast are dilated and translated copies of a single generating function ψ. The dilation matrices form a two-parameter matrix group consisting of products of parabolic scaling and shear matrices. We show that the elements {ψast} form a system of smooth functions at continuous scales a > 0, locations t ∈ R2, and oriented along lines of slope s ∈ R in the frequency domain. We then prove that the Continuous Shearlet Transform does exactly resolve the wavefront set of a distribution f .

Classification of Edges using Compactly Supported Shearlets
We analyze the detection and classification of singularities of functions f = χB , where B ⊂ R and d = 2, 3. It will be shown how the set ∂B can be extracted by a continuous shearlet transform associated with compactly supported shearlets. Furthermore, if ∂S is a d−1 dimensional piecewise smooth manifold with d = 2 or 3, we will classify smooth and non-smooth components of ∂S. This improves pre...
متن کاملContinuous Shearlet Frames and Resolution of the Wavefront Set
In recent years directional multiscale transformations like the curveletor shearlet transformation have gained considerable attention. The reason for this is that these transforms are unlike more traditional transforms like wavelets able to efficiently handle data with features along edges. The main result confirming this property for shearlets is contained in [21] where it is shown that for ve...
متن کاملp-adic Shearlets
The field $Q_{p}$ of $p$-adic numbers is defined as the completion of the field of the rational numbers $Q$ with respect to the $p$-adic norm $|.|_{p}$. In this paper, we study the continuous and discrete $p-$adic shearlet systems on $L^{2}(Q_{p}^{2})$. We also suggest discrete $p-$adic shearlet frames. Several examples are provided.

We discuss a Continuous Curvelet Transform (CCT), a transform f → Γf (a, b, θ) of functions f(x1, x2) on R , into a transform domain with continuous scale a > 0, location b ∈ R, and orientation θ ∈ [0, 2π). The transform is defined by Γf (a, b, θ) = 〈f, γabθ〉 where the inner products project f onto analyzing elements called curvelets γabθ which are smooth and of rapid decay away from an a by √ ...
متن کاملDirectional Multiscale Analysis Using Shearlet Theory and Applications
Shearlets emerged in recent years in applied harmonic analysis as a general framework to provide sparse representations of multidimensional data. This construction was motivated by the need to provide more efficient algorithms for data analysis and processing, overcoming the limitations of traditional multiscale methods. Particularly, shearlets have proved to be very effective in handling direc...
