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 …

Efficient multiscale and multidirectional representation of 3D Data using the 3D discrete shearlet transform

In recent years, there has been a lot of interest in multiresolution representations that also perform a multidirectional analysis. These representations often yield very sparse representation for multidimensional data. The shearlet representation, …

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

With extensive technological advancements in electronic imaging today, high image quality is becoming an imperative necessity in the modern imaging systems. An important part of quality assurance are techniques for measuring the level of image …

Real-time wavelet based blur estimation on cell BE platform

We propose a real-time system for blur estimation using wavelet decomposition. The system is based on an emerging multi-core microprocessor architecture (Cell Broadband Engine, Cell BE) known to outperform any available general purpose or DSP …

Image blur estimation based on the average cone of ratio in the wavelet domain

In this paper, we propose a new algorithm for objective blur estimation using wavelet decomposition. The central idea of our method is to estimate blur as a function of the center of gravity of the average cone ratio (ACR) histogram. The key …

Content adaptive wavelet based method for joint denoising of depth and luminance images

In this paper we present a new method for joint denoising of depth and luminance images produced by time-of-flight camera. Here we assume that the sequence does not contain outlier points which can be present in the depth images. Our method first …

Wavelet based stereo images reconstruction using depth images

It is believed by many that three-dimensional (3D) television will be the next logical development toward a more natural and vivid home entertaiment experience. While classical 3D approach requires the transmission of two video streams, one for each …

Wavelet-based denoising for 3D OCT images

Optical coherence tomography produces high resolution medical images based on spatial and temporal coherence of the optical waves backscattered from the scanned tissue. However, the same coherence introduces speckle noise as well; this degrades the …
