Steerable Pyramid Filters for Selective Image Enhancement Applications
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we describe a method we developed for selective detection and enhancement of image feature patterns. A set of directional basis filters were designed to detect the image features of interest, and a steerable pyramid transform [1,2] is used to generate a multiscale representation of the image features that has desirable shift and rotation invariance. By analyzing and selectively processing the transform coefficients, image feature detection and enhancement can be achieved with designed flexibility in scale, orientation, location, and degree of enhancement. Unlike traditional techniques, this new method promises the selectivity and flexibility desirable in many image enhancement applications. Preliminary experimental results are presented to exemplify the feasibility of the approach.

Color contrast enhancement method using steerable pyramid transform
A new method of contrast enhancement based on steerable pyramid transform is presented in this work. The use of steerable filters is motivated by the fact that the images are to be observed by human and therefore it would be better to incorporate some knowledge on the Human Visual System in the design of the image processing tool. Here, the frequency and directional selectivity of the HVS is mo...
متن کاملDetection of channels in seismic images using the steerable pyramid
Channels have always been important geologic features in the exploration for oil and gas. With 3-D seismic data they can often be mapped easily on time or depth slices. In other situations they can be difficult to detect, due to structural complexity or other factors. There are a number of image-processing algorithms that can be used to enhance linear features such as channels in 3-D seismic vo...

A given (overcomplete) discrete oriented pyramid may be converted into a steerable pyramid by interpolation. We present a technique for deriving the optimal interpolation functions (otherwise called steering coefficients). The proposed scheme is demonstrated on a computationally efficient oriented pyramid, which is a variation on the Burt and Adelson pyramid. We apply the generated steerable py...

متن کاملSimplified Design of Steerable Pyramid Filters
The steerable pyramid decomposition is an invertible representation similar to the two-dimensional discrete wavelet transform, but with interesting shiftand rotation-invariance properties. It is slightly overcomplete and amenable to a filter bank implementation via convolution and downand upsampling operations. This paper presents a simple method for designing the FIR filter kernels required to...
