Curvelets, Multiresolution Representation, and Scaling Laws
نویسندگان
چکیده
Curvelets provide a new multiresolution representation with several features that set them apart from existing representations such as wavelets, multiwavelets, steerable pyramids, and so on. They are based on an anisotropic notion of scaling. The frame elements exhibit very high direction sensitivity and are highly anisotropic. In this paper we describe these properties and indicate why they may be important for both theory and applications.

An Efficient Directional Multiresolution Image Representation using Contourlet Transform
The limitations of commonly used separable extensions of one-dimensional transforms, such as the Fourier and wavelet transforms, in capturing the geometry of image edges are well known.A ―true‖ two dimensional transform that can capture the intrinsic geometrical structure that is key in visual information. The main challenge in exploring geometry in images comes from the discrete nature of the ...
متن کاملA Review of Curvelets and Recent Applications
Multiresolution methods are deeply related to image processing, biological and computer vision, scientific computing, etc. The curvelet transform is a multiscale directional transform which allows an almost optimal nonadaptive sparse representation of objects with edges. It has generated increasing interest in the community of applied mathematics and signal processing over the past years. In th...
متن کاملThe Curvelet Representation of Wave Propagators is Optimally Sparse
This paper argues that curvelets provide a powerful tool for representing very general linear symmetric systems of hyperbolic differential equations. Curvelets are a recently developed multiscale system [9, 5] in which the elements are highly anisotropic at fine scales, with effective support shaped according to the parabolic scaling principle width ≈ length at fine scales. We prove that for a ...
متن کاملα-Molecules: Curvelets, Shearlets, Ridgelets, and Beyond
The novel framework of parabolic molecules provides for the first time a unifying framework for (sparse) approximation properties of directional representation systems by, in particular, including curvelets and shearlets. However, the considered common bracket is parabolic scaling, which excludes systems such as ridgelets and wavelets. In this paper, we therefore provide a generalization of thi...
متن کاملLeading-order seismic imaging using curvelets
Using common-offset migration in a constant background medium as an example, we show that using curvelets as building blocks of seismic data, the Kirchhoff diffractionstack can, to leading-order in angular frequency, horizontal wavenumber, and migrated location, be rewritten as a transformation of coordinates of the curvelets in the data, combined with amplitude scaling. This transformation is ...
