Aerial images are often degraded by space-varying motion blur and simultaneous uneven illumination. To recover high-quality aerial image from its non-uniform version, we propose a novel patch-wise restoration approach based on a key observation that the degree of blurring is inevitably affected by the illuminated conditions. A nonlocal Retinex model is developed to accurately estimate the refle...

Identifying and characterizing flame fronts is the most common task in the computer-assisted analysis of data obtained from imaging techniques such as planar laser-induced fluorescence (PLIF), laser Rayleigh scattering (LRS), or particle imaging velocimetry (PIV). We present Complex Shearlet-Based Ridge and Edge Measure (CoShREM), a novel edge and ridge (line) detection algorithm based on compl...

This report provides an expository summary of the proof of optimal shearlet approximation (compact support case). We only discuss the non-smooth part of the approximation. For further details, the readers are referred to [1], [2] and the references therein. I. COMPACTLY SUPPORTED SHEARLET FRAME A. Some Notations • parabolic scaling matrices: A2j = 2j 0 0 2  or Ã2j = 2j/2 0 0 2  , for j ...

In allusion to remove Racian noise while lessen the loss of details as low as possible, this paper proposed an filter algorithm which comprehensive utilize Multi-Objective Genetic Algorithm (MOGA) and Shearlet transform based on a Multi-scale Geometric Analysis (MGA) theory. First, it performs a wavelet multi-scale decomposition of image. Then, it builds target function in MOGA by several evalu...

In this paper, we use non-subsampled shearlet transform (NSST) and Krawtchouk Moment Invariants (KMI) to realize image retrieval based on texture and shape features. Shearlet is a new sparse representation tool of multidimensional function, which provides a simple and efficient mathematical framework. We decompose the images by NSST. The directional subband coefficients are modeled by Generaliz...

A fundus image is an effective tool for ophthalmologists studying eye diseases. Retinal vessel detection is a significant task in the identification of retinal disease regions. This study presents a retinal vessel detection approach using shearlet transform and indeterminacy filtering. The fundus image’s green channel is mapped in the neutrosophic domain via shearlet transform. The neutrosophic...

Over the past years, various representation systems which sparsely approximate functions governed by anisotropic features such as edges in images have been proposed. We exemplarily mention the systems of contourlets, curvelets, and shearlets. Alongside the theoretical development of these systems, algorithmic realizations of the associated transforms were provided. However, one of the most comm...

Multivariate functions are typically governed by anisotropic features such as edges in images or shock fronts in solutions of transport-dominated equations. One major goal both for the purpose of compression as well as for an efficient analysis is the provision of optimally sparse approximations of such functions. Recently, cartoon-like images were introduced in 2D and 3D as a suitable model cl...
