Wavelets for Hexagonal Data Processing
نویسنده
چکیده
The hexagonal lattice was proposed as an alternative method for image sampling. The hexagonal sampling has certain advantages over the conventionally used square sampling. Hence, the hexagonal lattice has been used in many areas. A hexagonal lattice allows √ 3, dyadic and √ 7 refinements, which makes it possible to use the multiresolution (multiscale) analysis method to process hexagonally sampled data. The √ 3refinement is the most appealing refinement for multiresolution data processing due to the fact that it has the slowest progression through scale, and hence, it provides more resolution levels from which one can choose. This fact is the main motivation for the study of √ 3-refinement surface subdivision, and it is also the main reason for the recommendation to use the √ 3-refinement for discrete global grid systems. However, there is little work on compactly supported √ 3-refinement wavelets. In this paper we study the construction of compactly supported orthogonal and biorthogonal √ 3-refinement wavelets. In particular, we present a block structure of orthogonal FIR filter banks with 2-fold symmetry and construct the associated orthogonal √ 3-refinement wavelets. We study the 6-fold axial symmetry of perfect reconstruction (biorthogonal) FIR filter banks. In addition, we obtain a block structure of 6-fold symmetric √ 3-refinement filter banks and construct the associated biorthogonal wavelets.

This paper introduces triangular wavelets, which are two-dimensional nonseparable biorthogonal wavelets defined on the regular triangular lattice. The construction that we propose is aimed at preserving isotropy, and a simple nonseparable extension of one-dimensional interpolating wavelets followed by a straightforward generalization. Resulting three oriented high-pass filters are symmetrically...
متن کاملA new family of rotation-covariant wavelets on the hexagonal lattice
We present multiresolution spaces of complex rotation-covariant functions, deployed on the 2-D hexagonal lattice. The designed wavelets, which are complex-valued, provide an important phase information for image analysis, which is missing in the discrete wavelet transform with real wavelets. Moreover, the hexagonal lattice allows to build wavelets having a more isotropic magnitude than on the C...
