A Unifying Parametric Framework for 2D Steerable Wavelet Transforms
نویسندگان
چکیده
We introduce a complete parameterization of the family of two-dimensional steerable wavelets that are polar-separable in the Fourier domain under the constraint of self-reversibility. These wavelets are constructed by multiorder generalized Riesz transformation of a primary isotropic bandpass pyramid. The backbone of the transform (pyramid) is characterized by a radial frequency profile function h(ω), while the directional wavelet components at each scale are encoded by an M × (2N + 1) shaping matrix U, where M is the number of wavelet channels and N the order of the Riesz transform. We provide general conditions on h(ω) and U for the underlying wavelet system to form a tight frame of L2(R ) (with a redundancy factor 4/3M). The proposed framework ensures that the wavelets are steerable and provides new degrees of freedom (shaping matrix U) that can be exploited for designing specific wavelet systems. It encompasses many known transforms as particular cases: Simoncelli’s steerable pyramid, Marr gradient and Hessian wavelets, monogenic wavelets, and Nthorder Riesz and circular harmonic wavelets. We take advantage of the framework to construct new generalized spheroidal prolate wavelets, whose angular selectivity is maximized, as well as signaladapted detectors based on principal component analysis. We also introduce a curvelet-like steerable wavelet system. Finally, we illustrate the advantages of some of the designs for signal denoising, feature extraction, pattern analysis, and source separation.

Steerable Pyramids and Tight Wavelet Frames in 2707
We present a functional framework for the design of tight steerable wavelet frames in any number of dimensions. The 2-D version of the method can be viewed as a generalization of Simoncelli’s steerable pyramid that gives access to a larger palette of steerable wavelets via a suitable parametrization. The backbone of our construction is a primal isotropic wavelet frame that provides the multires...

متن کاملThe Steerable Pyramid: Wavelets in Vision and Image Processing
This is a review paper on the steerable pyramid, a linear multiscale, multiorientation image decomposition that finds use in the preprocessing stage of image processing and computer vision applications. Orthogonal separable wavelet transforms, once popular for the same tasks, give rise to heavily aliased representations that do not represent diagonal orientations well. To overcome these limitat...
متن کاملNew Dimensions in Wavelet Analysis
In this paper we propose a new class of signal analysis tools that generalizes the popular wavelet and short-time Fourier transforms. The class allows skews and rotations of the analyzing wavelet in the time-frequency plane, in addition to the time and frequency translations and scalings employed by conventional transforms. In addition to providing a unifying framework for studying existing tim...
