In this paper, a new bivariate shrinkage denoising method is proposed to model statistics of shearlet coefficients of images. Using Bayesian estimation theory we derive from this model a simple non-linear shrinkage function for shearlet denoising, which generalizes the soft threshold approach. Experimental results show that the proposed method can remove Gaussian white noise while effectively p...

Medical image fusion is a technique that integrates complementary information from multimodality images. The fused image is more suitable for treatment plan strategies. In this paper, an efficient medical image fusion method has been proposed based on shearlet transform and human visibility feature as fusion rule. Image fusion rule is the solution that influences the quality of image fusion. Th...

Watermarking is one of the best solutions for copyright protection and authentication of multimedia contents. In this paper a hybrid scheme is proposed using wavelet and shearlet transforms with singular value decomposition. For better security, Arnold map is used for encryption. Examining the results and comparing with other methods show that this hybrid proposed scheme with simultaneous utili...

It is now widely acknowledged that analyzing the intrinsic geometrical features of an underlying image is essentially needed in image processing. In order to achieve this, several directional image representation schemes have been proposed. In this report, we develop the discrete shearlet transform (DST) which provides efficient multiscale directional representation. We also show that the imple...

We prove a Heisenberg type uncertainty principle for the continuous shearlet transform, and study two generalizations of it. Our work extends the shearlet theory. c ©2016 All rights reserved.

This paper shows that the continuous shearlet transform, a novel directional multiscale transform recently introduced by the authors and their collaborators, provides a precise geometrical characterization for the boundary curves of very general planar regions. This study is motivated by imaging applications, where such boundary curves represent edges of images. The shearlet approach is able to...

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...

The only quadrature operator of order two on L2(R) which covaries with orthogonal transforms, in particular rotations is (up to the sign) the Riesz transform. This property was used for the construction of monogenic wavelets and curvelets. Recently, shearlets were applied for various signal processing tasks. Unfortunately, the Riesz transform does not correspond with the shear operation. In thi...

Based on the shearlet transform we present a general construction of continuous tight frames for L(R) from any sufficiently smooth function with anisotropic moments. This includes for example compactly supported systems, piecewise polynomial systems, or both. From the results in [5] it follows that these systems enjoy the same desirable approximation properties for directional data as the bandl...
