We show that compactly supported functions with sufficient smoothness and enough vanishing moments can serve as analyzing vectors for shearlet coorbit spaces. We use this approach to prove embedding theorems for subspaces of shearlet coorbit spaces resembling shearlets on the cone into Besov spaces. Furthermore, we show embedding relations of traces of these subspaces with respect to the real a...

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...

In this paper, using shearlet frames, we present a numerical  method  for solving  the wave equation. We define a new shearlet system and by the Plancherel theorem, we calculate the shearlet coefficients.

Segmentation plays an important role in many preprocessing stages in image processing. Recently, convex relaxation methods for image multi-labeling were proposed in the literature. Often these models involve the total variation (TV) semi-norm as regularizing term. However, it is well-known that the TV functional is not optimal for the segmentation of textured regions. In recent years directiona...

The selection of features extracted for image retrieval is quite important. We in this paper choose standard deviation and kurtosis to character texture. Non-subsampled shearlet transform is used to derive texture features. Shearlet is a new sparse representation tool of multidimensional function, which provides a simple and efficient mathematical framework. We firstly decompose the source imag...

In this paper, we study the construction of irregular shearlet systems, i.e., systems of the form SH(ψ,Λ) = {a− 4 ψ(A−1 a S−1 s (x− t)) : (a, s, t) ∈ Λ}, where ψ ∈ L(R), Λ is an arbitrary sequence in R ×R×R2, Aa is a parabolic scaling matrix and Ss a shear matrix. These systems are obtained by appropriately sampling the Continuous Shearlet Transform. We derive sufficient conditions for such a d...

This note is concerned with the generalization of the continuous shearlet transform to higher dimensions. Quite recently, a first approach has been derived in [4]. We present an alternative version which deviates from [4] mainly by a different generalization of the shear component. It turns out that the resulting integral transform is again associated with a square-integrable group representation.

In this paper we are concerned with the continuous shearlet transform in arbitrary space dimensions where the shear operation is of Toeplitz type. In particular, we focus on the construction of associated shearlet coorbit spaces and on atomic decompositions and Banach frames for these spaces.

In this paper we will study the Continuous Shearlet Transform from a wavelet point of view, and show how this perspective can be used to derive a new geometric interpretation of this transform providing the possibility for FFT-based fast methods to compute the Continuous Shearlet Transform.

The present paper for the first time constructs a frame/dual frame pair of shearlet type such that both frames possess the distinctive time-frequency localization properties needed in establishing their desirable approximation properties. Our construction is based on a careful pasting together of two bandlimited shearlet Parseval frames associated with two different frequency cones, inspired by...
