Finding optimal representations of signals in higher dimensions, in particular directional representations, is currently the subject of intensive research. Since it might be difficult to obtain directional information by means of wavelets, several new representation systems were proposed in the past, including ridgelets, curvelets and, more recently, shearlets. In this paper we study and visual...

In this paper, we study the relationships of the newly developed continuous shearlet transform with the coorbit space theory. It turns out that all the conditions that are needed to apply the coorbit space theory can indeed be satisfied for the shearlet group. Consequently, we establish new families of smoothness spaces, the shearlet coorbit spaces. Moreover, our approach yields Banach frames f...

It is known that the Continuous Wavelet Transform of a distribution f decays rapidly near the points where f is smooth, while it decays slowly near the irregular points. This property allows the identification of the singular support of f . However, the Continuous Wavelet Transform is unable to describe the geometry of the set of singularities of f and, in particular, identify the wavefront set...

This paper presents a novel remote sensing image fusion algorithm, which implements panchromatic sharpening of multispectral data through application of the principal component analysis (PCA) transform and the dual-tree compactly supported shearlet transform (DT CSST). Shearlet transforms provide near optimal representation of the anisotropic features of an image. The compactly supported shearl...

In this paper, we present a new image denoising method for removing Gaussian noise from corrupted image by using shearlet transform and nonlinear diffusion. The image is decomposed by the shearlet transform to obtain the shearlet coefficients in each subband; then a diffusion scheme based on statistical property of shearlet coefficients is used to shrink noisy shearlet coefficients. The test sh...

This chapter is devoted to the generalization of the continuous shearlet transform to higher dimensions as well as to the construction of associated smoothness spaces and to the analysis of their structural properties, respectively. To construct canonical scales of smoothness spaces , so-called shearlet coorbit spaces , and associated atomic decompositions and Banach frames we prove that the ge...

In this paper, we first develop a digital shearlet theory which is rationally designed in the sense that it is the digitalization of the existing shearlet theory for continuum data. This shows that shearlet theory indeed provides a unified treatment for the continuum and digital realm. Secondly, we discuss our implementation of the associated digital shearlet transform. This software package ca...
