Wavelet primal sketch representation using Marr wavelet pyramid and its reconstruction
نویسندگان
چکیده
Based on the class of complex gradient-Laplace operators, we show the design of a non-separable two-dimensional wavelet basis from a single and analytically defined generator wavelet function. The wavelet decomposition is implemented by an efficient FFT-based filterbank. By allowing for slight redundancy, we obtain the Marr wavelet pyramid decomposition that features improved translation-invariance and steerability. The link with Marr’s theory of early vision is due to the replication of the essential processing steps (Gaussian smoothing, Laplacian, orientation detection). Finally, we show how to find a compact multiscale primal sketch of the image, and how to reconstruct an image from it.

Perceptual Scale-Space and Its application
When an image is viewed at decreasing resolutions in a Gaussian pyramid, information is lost gradually. Amid continuous intensity changes across scales, there are “quantum jumps” or “perceptual transitions” in our inner representation. In this paper, we study a representational paradigm called the perceptual scale-space which augments the Gaussian pyramid in traditional image scale-space theory...
متن کاملTowards a Mathematical Theory of Primal Sketch and Sketchability
In this paper, we present a mathematical theory for Marr’s primal sketch. We first conduct a theoretical study of the descriptive Markov random field model and the generative wavelet/sparse coding model from the perspective of entropy and complexity. The competition between the two types of models defines the concept of “sketchability”, which divides image into texture and geometry. We then pro...
متن کاملModeling the potential of Sand and Dust Storm sources formation using time series of remote sensing data, fuzzy logic and artificial neural network (A Case study of Euphrates basin)
Due to the differences between the visible and thermal infrared images, the combination of these two types of images leads to better understanding of the characteristics of targets and the environment. Thermal infrared images are really in distinguishing targets from the background based on the radiation differences and land surface temperature (LST) calculation. However, their spatial resolu...
متن کاملThe Light Field Oracle
We present the light field oracle, a novel mathematical concept for the acquisition, processing and representation of light fields. We first compute a hierarchical representation from a set of sparse image samples using a combination of wavelet transform and scattered data interpolation. The light field oracle then progressively acquires image data and selectively refines this initial represent...
متن کاملFusion of Thermal Infrared and Visible Images Based on Multi-scale Transform and Sparse Representation
Due to the differences between the visible and thermal infrared images, combination of these two types of images is essential for better understanding the characteristics of targets and the environment. Thermal infrared images have most importance to distinguish targets from the background based on the radiation differences, which work well in all-weather and day/night conditions also in land s...
