Curvelet transform with adaptive tiling
نویسندگان
چکیده
The curvelet transform is a recently introduced non-adaptive multi-scale transform that have gained popularity in the image processing field. In this paper, we study the effect of customized tiling of frequency content in the curvelet transform. Specifically, we investigate the effect of the size of the coarsest level and its relationship to denoising performance. Based on the observed behavior, we introduce an algorithm to automatically choose the optimal number of decompositions. Its performance shows a clear advantage, in denoising applications, when compared to default curvelet decomposition. We also examine how denoising is affected by varying the number of divisions per scale.

متن کاملHigher - Dimensional Discrete Smith Curvelet Transform : a Parallel Algorithm
We revisit Smith’s frame of curvelets and discretize it making use of the USFFT as developed by Dutt and Roklin, and Beylkin. In the discretization, we directly approximate the underlying dyadic parabolic decomposition, its (rotational) symmetry, and approximate all the necessary decay estimates in phase space with arbitrary accuracy. Numerically, our transform is unitary. Moreover, if we apply...
