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...

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.

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...

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...

In lower vertebrates, cone retinomotor movements occur in response to changes in lighting conditions and to an endogenous circadian clock. In the light, cone myoids contract, while in the dark, they elongate. In order to test the hypothesis that melatonin and dopamine may be involved in the regulation of cone movement, we have used an in vitro eyecup preparation from Xenopus laevis that sustain...

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...
