Wavelets, Ridgelets and Curvelets revisited

چکیده
A recently developed new approach, called “Empirical Wavelet Transform”, aims to build 1D adaptive wavelet frames accordingly to the analyzed signal. In this paper, we present several extensions of this approach to 2D signals (images). We revisit some well-known transforms (tensor wavelets, Littlewood-Paley wavelets, ridgelets and curvelets) and show that it is possible to build their empirical counterpart. We prove that such constructions lead to different adaptive frames which show some promising properties for image analysis and processing.

α-Molecules: Curvelets, Shearlets, Ridgelets, and Beyond
The novel framework of parabolic molecules provides for the first time a unifying framework for (sparse) approximation properties of directional representation systems by, in particular, including curvelets and shearlets. However, the considered common bracket is parabolic scaling, which excludes systems such as ridgelets and wavelets. In this paper, we therefore provide a generalization of thi...
متن کامل3D Sparse Representations
In this chapter we review a variety of 3D sparse representations developed in recent years and adapted to different kinds of 3D signals. In particular, we describe 3D wavelets, ridgelets, beamlets and curvelets. We also present very recent 3D sparse representations on the 3D ball adapted to 3D signal naturally observed in spherical coordinates. Illustrative examples are provided for the differe...
متن کاملα - Molecules
Within the area of applied harmonic analysis, various multiscale systems such as wavelets, ridgelets, curvelets, and shearlets have been introduced and successfully applied. The key property of each of those systems are their (optimal) approximation properties in terms of the decay of the L-error of the best N-term approximation for a certain class of functions. In this paper, we introduce the ...
متن کاملGeometric Wavelets for Image Processing: Metric Curvature of Wavelets
We introduce a semi-discrete version of the FinslerHaantjes metric curvature to define curvature for wavelets and show that scale and curvature play similar roles with respect to image presentation and analysis. More precisely, we show that there is an inverse relationship between local scale and local curvature in images. This allows us to use curvature as a geometrically motivated automatic s...
متن کاملBeyond wavelets: New image representation paradigms
It is by now a well-established fact that the usual two-dimensional tensor product wavelet bases are not optimal for representing images consisting of different regions of smoothly varying greyvalues, separated by smooth boundaries. The chapter starts with a discussion of this phenomenon from a nonlinear approximation point of view, and then proceeds to describe approaches that have been sugges...
