Analysis of Singularities and Edge Detection using the Shearlet Transform
نویسندگان
چکیده
The continuous curvelet and shearlet transforms have recently been shown to be much more effective than the traditional wavelet transform in dealing with the set of discontinuities of functions and distributions. In particular, the continuous shearlet transform has the ability to provide a very precise geometrical characterization of general discontinuity curves occurring in images. In this paper, we show that these properties are useful to design improved algorithms for the analysis and detection of edges.

Analysis and Identification of Multidimensional Singularities using the Continuous Shearlet Transform
In this chapter, we illustrate the properties of the continuous shearlet transform with respect to its ability to describe the set of singularities of multidimensional functions and distributions. This is of particular interest since singularities and other irregular structures typically carry the most essential information in multidimensional phenomena. Consider, for example, the edges of natu...

The analysis and detection of edges is a central problem in applied mathematics and image processing. A number of results in recent years have shown that directional multiscale methods such as continuous curvelet and shearlet transforms offer a powerful theoretical framework to capture the geometry of edge singularities, going far beyond the capabilities of the conventional wavelet transform. T...

Despite the growing growth of technology, handwritten signature has been selected as the first option between biometrics by users. In this paper, a new methodology for offline handwritten signature verification and recognition based on the Shearlet transform and transfer learning is proposed. Since, a large percentage of handwritten signatures are composed of curves and the performance of a sig...
متن کاملThree-Dimensional Shearlet Edge Analysis
Volumetric data acquisition and increasingly massive data storage have increased the need to develop better analysis tools for three-dimensional data sets. These volumetric data sets can provide information beyond that contained in standard two-dimensional images. Common strategies to deal with such data sets have been based on sequential use of two-dimensional analysis tools. In this work, we ...
