An approach of palmprint feature extraction based on the second frequency band curvelet coefficients is proposed in this paper. As we all know, the veins of the palmprint are the important factors to recognize the palmprint. Because curvelet transform can effectively presents the lines and curvilinear structure, we perform the curvelet transform to the palmprint image. By analyzing the features...

We then show how to derive simple operations (image shift, rotation and stretch) directly in the curvelet domain. The basic transforms are needed for subsequent seismic migration. We demonstrate how to interpolate in the curvelet domain, using the Shannon interpolation formula. It appears that the interpolation scheme imposes some specific conditions on the shapes of the filters used for the cu...

In recent years, Curvelet Transform is the most preferred technique for image compression. It is proposed that an efficient and fast image compression scheme based on all level curvelet coefficients with SPIHT (Set Partitioning in Hierarchical Trees).After many passes of coding with SPIHT, it degrades the coding performance.There was a need of a transform that handles two dimensional singularit...

Curvelet is often used in image multi-scale analysis for its description ability to the image edges such as curve and line characteristics. On the basis of analyzing several common algorithms of image fusion, a new multi-focus image fusion method based on Curvelet transform is proposed according to the question of image fusion. The principle of Curvelet transform is described and the fusion rul...

In this paper, we propose a new no-reference VQA metric, called Video Hybrid No-reference (VHNR) method. It is based on natural video statistics built from the coefficients of 3D curvelet and cosine transforms. VHNR can blindly predict the quality of noisy, blurry, or MPEG2 compressed videos and requires no original reference video. The 3D curvelet transform is known to be sensitive to surface ...

A suggested approach is presented in this paper to obtain high-resolution images from the fusion and then interpolation of Magnetic Resonance (MR) and Computed Tomography (CT) images. MR and CT images are fused with either the Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) or the curvelet transform. After that, a least-squares interpolation step is carried out on the wavelet sub-bands of the fusion result. S...

Localization and detecting weak signal are the challenging tasks in radar systems. Radar performance can be enhanced by mounting the receiver output signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). In this paper, a novel approach based on Curvelet transform for detecting weak radar signal is proposed. We applied the curvelet transform and modulus maximum to detect the locations of laser radar echo signal. Localizi...

This paper introduces the synchrosqueezed curvelet transform as an optimal tool for two-dimensional mode decomposition of wavefronts or banded wave-like components. The synchrosqueezed curvelet transform consists of a generalized curvelet transform with application dependent geometric scaling parameters, and a synchrosqueezing technique for a sharpened phase space representation. In the case of...
