WAVELET TRANSFORM

A split-augmented Lagrangian algorithm for spectral factorization of a set of 2D directional filters and application to the design of compact shearlet frames

In this paper, we first briefly review the directional properties of the Dual-Tree complex wavelet transform and we investigate how the directional selectivity of the transform can be increased (i.e., to obtain more than 6 orientations per scale). To …

Design of a tight frame of 2D shearlets based on a fast non-iterative analysis and synthesis algorithm

The shearlet transform is a recent sibling in the family of geometric image representations that provides a traditional multiresolution analysis combined with a multidirectional analysis. In this paper, we present a fast DFT-based analysis and …

No-reference blur estimation based on the average cone ratio in the wavelet domain

We propose a wavelet based metric of blurriness in the digital images named CogACR – Center of gravity of the Average Cone Ratio. The metric is highly robust to noise and able to distinguish between a great range of blurriness. To automate the CogACR …

Efficient design of a low redundant discrete shearlet transform

Recently, there has been a huge interest in multiresolution representations that also perform a multidirectional analysis. The Shearlet transform provides both a multiresolution analysis (such as the wavelet transform), and at the same time an …
