This thesis is a theorical and numerical contribution to wavelet transform in image processing and surface computing. Group theory approach, multiresolution approach and lters banc approach of wavelets basis are reviewed. The wavelet transform applications concern image compression, discrete curve representation and surface approximation by radial functions. We begin by reviewing di erent image...

We present spline wavelets of class Cn(R) supported by sequences of aperiodic discretizations of R. The construction is based on multiresolution analysis recently elaborated by G. Bernuau. At a given scale, we consider discretizations that are sets of left-hand ends of tiles in a self-similar tiling of the real line with finite local complexity. Corresponding tilings are determined by two-lette...

The first type of pseudo-splines were introduced by [Daubechies, Han, Ron and Shen, 2003] (DHRS) to construct tight framelets with desired approximation orders via the unitary extension principle of [Ron and Shen, 1997]. In the spirit of the first type of pseudo-splines, we introduce here a new type (the second type) of pseudo-splines to construct symmetric or antisymmetric tight framelets with...

We explicitly construct compactly-supported wavelets associated with L-spline spaces. We then apply the theory to develop multiresolution methods based on L-splines. x

Pseudo-splines constitute a new class of refinable functions with B-splines, interpolatory refinable functions and refinable functions with orthonormal shifts as special examples. Pseudo-splines were first introduced by Daubechies, Han, Ron and Shen in [Framelets: MRA-based constructions of wavelet frames, Appl. Comput. Harmon. Anal. 14(1) (2003), 1–46] and Selenick in [Smooth wavelet tight fra...

In this paper, we revisit wavelet theory starting from the representation of a scaling function as the convolution of a B-spline (the regular part of it) and a distribution (the irregular or residual part). This formulation leads to some new insights on wavelets and makes it possible to rederive the main results of the classical theory—including some new extensions for fractional orders—in a se...

Following the approach of Chui and Quak, we investigate semi-orthogonal spline wavelets on the unit interval [0, 1]. We give a slightly different construction of boundary wavelets. As a result, we are able to prove that the inner wavelets and the newly constructed boundary wavelets together constitute a Riesz basis for the wavelet space at each level with the Riesz bounds being level-independen...

In this paper we investigate spline wavelets on general triangulations. In particular, we are interested in C1 wavelets generated from piecewise quadratic polynomials. By using the Powell-Sabin elements, we set up a nested family of spaces of C1 quadratic splines, which are suitable for multiresolution analysis of Besov spaces. Consequently, we construct C1 wavelet bases on general triangulatio...
