This note is concerned with the generalization of the continuous shearlet transform to higher dimensions. Similar to the twodimensional case, our approach is based on translations, anisotropic dilations and specific shear matrices. We show that the associated integral transform again originates from a square-integrable representation of a specific group, the full n-variate shearlet group. Moreo...

The continuous curvelet and shearlet transforms have recently been shown to be much more effective than the traditional wavelet transform in dealing with the set of discontinuities of functions and distributions. In particular, the continuous shearlet transform has the ability to provide a very precise geometrical characterization of general discontinuity curves occurring in images. In this pap...

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...

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...

To reduce the x-ray dose in computerized tomography (CT), many constrained optimization approaches have been proposed aiming at minimizing a regularizing function that measures lack of consistency with some prior knowledge about the object that is being imaged, subject to a (predetermined) level of consistency with the detected attenuation of x-rays. One commonly investigated regularizing funct...

Shearlab is a Matlab toolbox for digital shearlet transformation of two-D (image) data we developed following a rational design process. The Pseudo-Polar FFT fits very naturally with the continuum theory of the Shearlet transform and allows us to translate Shearlet ideas naturally into a digital framework. However, there are still windows and weights which must be chosen. We developed more than...

We analyze the detection and classification of singularities of functions f = χB , where B ⊂ R and d = 2, 3. It will be shown how the set ∂B can be extracted by a continuous shearlet transform associated with compactly supported shearlets. Furthermore, if ∂S is a d−1 dimensional piecewise smooth manifold with d = 2 or 3, we will classify smooth and non-smooth components of ∂S. This improves pre...

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.
