The Conformal Monogenic Signal
نویسندگان
چکیده
The conformal monogenic signal is a novel rotational invariant approach for analyzing i(ntrinsic)1D and i2D local features of twodimensional signals (e.g. images) without the use of any heuristics. It contains the monogenic signal as a special case for i1D signals and combines scale-space, phase, orientation, energy and isophote curvature in one unified algebraic framework. The conformal monogenic signal will be theoretically illustrated and motivated in detail by the relation of the Radon and the Riesz transform. One of the main ideas is to lift up two-dimensional signals to a higher dimensional conformal space where the signal can be analyzed with more degrees of freedom. The most interesting result is that isophote curvature can be calculated in a purely algebraic framework without the need of any derivatives.

2D Image Analysis by Generalized Hilbert Transforms in Conformal Space
This work presents a novel rotational invariant quadrature filter approach called the conformal monogenic signal for analyzing i(ntrinsic)1D and i2D local features of any curved 2D signal such as lines, edges, corners and junctions without the use of steering. The conformal monogenic signal contains the monogenic signal as a special case for i1D signals and combines monogenic scale space, phase...
متن کاملFeature Asymmetry of the Conformal Monogenic Signal
Local properties of image (phase, amplitude and orientation) can be estimated practically using quadrature filters kernel and can be easily represented in two dimensions using the monogenic signal. This powerful feature representation has given rise to robust phase-based edge detection. Nonetheless, it is limited to the class of intrinsically onedimensional signals, such as lines and edges. All...
متن کاملLocal distortion of M-conformal mappings
A conformal mapping in a plane domain locally maps circles to circles. More generally, quasiconformal mappings locally map circles to ellipses of bounded distortion. In this work, we study the corresponding situation for solutions to Stein-Weiss systems in the (n + 1)D Euclidean space. This class of solutions coincides with the subset of monogenic quasiconformal mappings with nonvanishing hyper...
متن کاملMonogenic Functions in Conformal Geometry⋆
Monogenic functions are basic to Clifford analysis. On Euclidean space they are defined as smooth functions with values in the corresponding Clifford algebra satisfying a certain system of first order differential equations, usually referred to as the Dirac equation. There are two equally natural extensions of these equations to a Riemannian spin manifold only one of which is conformally invari...
متن کاملClassification of Monogenic Ternary Semigroups
The aim of this paper is to classify all monogenic ternary semigroups, up to isomorphism. We divide them to two groups: finite and infinite. We show that every infinite monogenic ternary semigroup is isomorphic to the ternary semigroup O, the odd positive integers with ordinary addition. Then we prove that all finite monogenic ternary semigroups with the same index...
