The various types of noise patterns observed in the image are Gaussian, salt and pepper, speckle etc. due to which the image is attenuated or amplified. The main challenge lies in removing these noises. We use various denoising techniques in removal of noise in order to retrieve the original information from the image. Wavelet transforms are one of the denoising algorithms used as conventional methods. This algorithm is used to capture the image along different directions in limited manner which becomes the main disadvantage of using this algorithm. In this work we propose a technique by integrating Wavelet and Shearlet transform which effectively removes the noise to the maximum extent and restores the image by edge detection which can be identified. -
Sums of Hilbert Space Frames 1
SUMS OF HILBERT SPACE FRAMES SOFIAN OBEIDAT, SALTI SAMARAH, PETER G. CASAZZA AND JANET C. TREMAIN Abstract. We give simple necessary and sufficient conditions on Bessel sequences {fi} and {gi} and operators L1,L2 on a Hilbert space H so that {L1fi + L2gi} is a frame for H. This allows us to construct a large number of new Hilbert space frames from existing frames. 1. Introduction Frames for Hilbert spaces were introduced by Duffin and Schaeffer [8] as a part of their research in non-harmonic Fourier series. Their work on frames was somewhat forgotten until 1986 when Daubechies, Grossmann and Meyer [13] brought it all back to life during their fundamental work on wavelets. Today, frame theory plays an important role not just in signal processing, but also in dozens of applied areas (See [1, 2]). Holub [12] showed that if {xn} is any normalized basis for a Hilbert space H and {fn} is the associated dual basis of coefficient functionals, then the sequence {xn + fn} is again a basis for H. In this paper we study cases in which new frames can be obtained from old ones. Throughout H denotes a separable Hilbert space and HN is the Nth dimensional Hilbert space. A frame for H is a family of vectors fi ∈ H, for i ∈ I for which there exist constants A, B > 0 satisfying: 2 X 2 2 (1.1) Akfk ≤ |hf, fii| ≤ Bkfk i∈I for all f ∈ H. A and B are called the lower and upper frame bounds respectively. If A = B, this is called an A-tight frame. -

FRAME WAVELET SETS in R §1. Introduction a Collection of Elements
PROCEEDINGS OF THE AMERICAN MATHEMATICAL SOCIETY Volume 129, Number 7, Pages 2045{2055 S 0002-9939(00)05873-1 Article electronically published on December 28, 2000 FRAME WAVELET SETS IN R X. DAI, Y. DIAO, AND Q. GU (Communicated by David R. Larson) Abstract. In this paper, we try to answer an open question raised by Han and Larson, which asks about the characterization of frame wavelet sets. We completely characterize tight frame wavelet sets. We also obtain some nec- essary conditions and some sufficient conditions for a set E to be a (general) frame wavelet set. Some results are extended to frame wavelet functions that are not defined by frame wavelet set. Several examples are presented and compared with some known results in the literature. x1. Introduction A collection of elements fxj : j 2Jgin a Hilbert space H is called a frame if there exist constants A and B,0<A≤ B<1, such that X 2 2 2 (1) Akfk ≤ jhf;xj ij ≤ Bkfk j2J for all f 2H. The supremum of all such numbers A and the infimum of all such numbers B are called the frame bounds of the frame and denoted by A0 and B0 respectively. The frame is called a tight frame when A0 = B0 andiscalleda normalized tight frame when A0 = B0 = 1. Any orthonormal basis in a Hilbert space is a normalized tight frame. The concept of frame first appeared in the late 40's and early 50's (see [6], [13] and [12]). The development and study of wavelet theory during the last decade also brought new ideas and attention to frames because of their close connections. -
The Contourlet Transform: an Efficient Directional Multiresolution Image Representation Minh N
IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON IMAGE PROCESSING 1 The Contourlet Transform: An Efficient Directional Multiresolution Image Representation Minh N. Do, Member, IEEE, and Martin Vetterli, Fellow, IEEE Abstract— The limitations of commonly used separable ex- representation has to be obtained by structured transforms and tensions of one-dimensional transforms, such as the Fourier fast algorithms. and wavelet transforms, in capturing the geometry of image For one-dimensional piecewise smooth signals, like scan- edges are well known. In this paper, we pursue a “true” two- dimensional transform that can capture the intrinsic geometrical lines of an image, wavelets have been established as the right structure that is key in visual information. The main challenge tool, because they provide an optimal representation for these in exploring geometry in images comes from the discrete nature signals in a certain sense [1], [2]. In addition, the wavelet of the data. Thus, unlike other approaches, such as curvelets, representation is amenable to efficient algorithms; in particular that first develop a transform in the continuous domain and it leads to fast transforms and convenient tree data structures. then discretize for sampled data, our approach starts with a discrete-domain construction and then studies its convergence These are the key reasons for the success of wavelets in to an expansion in the continuous domain. Specifically, we many signal processing and communication applications; for construct a discrete-domain multiresolution and multidirection example, the wavelet transform was adopted as the transform expansion using non-separable filter banks, in much the same way for the new image-compression standard, JPEG-2000 [3]. -
Digital Shearlet Transforms
Digital Shearlet Transforms Gitta Kutyniok, Wang-Q Lim, and Xiaosheng Zhuang Abstract Over the past years, various representation systems which sparsely approximate functions governed by anisotropic features such as edges in images have been proposed. We exemplarily mention the systems of contourlets, curvelets, and shearlets. Alongside the theoretical devel- opment of these systems, algorithmic realizations of the associated transforms were provided. However, one of the most common shortcomings of these frameworks is the lack of providing a unified treatment of the continuum and digital world, i.e., allowing a digital theory to be a natural digitization of the continuum theory. In fact, shearlet systems are the only systems so far which satisfy this property, yet still deliver optimally sparse approximations of cartoon-like images. In this chapter, we provide an introduction to digital shearlet theory with a particular focus on a unified treatment of the continuum and digital realm. In our survey we will present the implementations of two shearlet transforms, one based on band-limited shearlets and the other based on compactly supported shearlets. We will moreover discuss various quantitative measures, which allow an objective comparison with other directional transforms and an objec- tive tuning of parameters. The codes for both presented transforms as well as the framework for quantifying performance are provided in the Matlab toolbox ShearLab. 1 Introduction One key property of wavelets, which enabled their success as a universal methodology for signal processing, is the unified treatment of the continuum and digital world. In fact, the wavelet transform can be implemented by a natural digitization of the continuum theory, thus providing a theoretical foundation for the digital transform. -

Chui Received July 11, 2000; revised December 20, 2001 In this paper we show that there exist wavelet frames that have nice dual wavelet frames, but for which the canonical dual frame does not consist of wavelets, i.e., cannot be generated by the translates and dilates of a single function. 2002 Elsevier Science (USA) Key Words: wavelet frame; the canonical dual frame; dual wavelet frame. 1. INTRODUCTION We start by recalling some notations and definitions. Let H be a Hilbert space. A set of elements {hk}k∈Z in H is said to be a frame (see [5]) in H if there exist two positive constants A and B such that 2 2 2 Af ≤ |f,hk| ≤ Bf , ∀f ∈ H, (1.1) k∈Z where A and B are called the lower frame bound and upper frame bound, respectively. In particular, when A = B = 1, we say that {hk}k∈Z is a (normalized) tight frame in H.The 1 Research was partially supported by NSF Grants DMS-9872890, DMS-9706753 and AFOSR Grant F49620- 98-1-0044.

Light Field Reconstruction Using Shearlet Transform
1 Light Field Reconstruction Using Shearlet Transform Suren Vagharshakyan, Robert Bregovic and Atanas Gotchev, Member, IEEE Abstract—In this article we develop an image based rendering technique based on light field reconstruction from a limited set of perspective views acquired by cameras. Our approach utilizes sparse representation of epipolar-plane images in a directionally sensitive transform domain, obtained by an adapted discrete shearlet transform. The used iterative thresholding algorithm provides high-quality reconstruction results for relatively big disparities between neighboring views. The generated densely sampled light field of a given 3D scene is thus suitable for all applications which requires light field reconstruction. The proposed algorithm is compared favorably against state of the art depth image based rendering techniques. Index Terms—Image-based rendering, light field reconstruction, shearlets, frames, view synthesis. F 1 INTRODUCTION YNTHESIS of intermediate views from a given set of needs to sample the LF such that the disparity between S captured views of a 3D visual scene is usually referred neighboring views is less than one pixel [9]. Hereafter, to as image-based rendering (IBR) [1]. The scene is typically we will refer to such sampling as dense sampling and to captured by a limited number of cameras which form a the correspondingly sampled LF as densely sampled LF. In rather coarse set of multiview images. However, denser set order to capture a densely sampled LF, the required distance of images (i.e. intermediate views) is required in immersive between neighboring camera positions can be estimated visual applications such as free viewpoint television (FVT) based on the minimal scene depth (zmin) and the camera and virtual reality (VR) aimed at creating the perception of resolution. -

Image Denoising Using Hard Threshold Techniques On
ISSN No.: 2454- 2024 (online) International Journal of Technical Research & Science IMAGE DENOISING USING HARD THRESHOLD TECHNIQUES ON WAVELET TRANSFORM AND SHEARLET TRANSFORM Ankita Yadav, Riya Fagna, Aparna Vyas E-Mail Id: [email protected] Department of Mathematics, Manav Rachna University, Faridabad, Haryana, India Abstract- In this data age century with increment in the modern technology there is a development in the theory of multidimensional data to provide the higher directional sensitivity in imaging. A numeric image is a portrayal of a real image which is taken as a set of numbers that can be gathered and picked up by a digital computer. In order to decode the image into numbers it is divided into small segments called pixels (picture elements). Whenever there is a transmission of images or due to some environment factor there is an addition of noise to the images takes place that ultimately results in the reduction of originality of the image. It is very important to remove the noise from the images so that it is safeguard. Shearlets are a multiscale foundation which authorize efficient encoding of anisotropic feature in multivariate problem classes. In this paper, we have set forth the noise removal transform by hard thresholding for denoising. We can denoise the noisy image by wiping out the fine details, to enhance the quality of the images. Keywords: Wavelets, Wavelet Transform, Shearlet, Shearlet Transform, Image De- noising. 1. INTRODUCTION Digital images are the aggregation of pictures elements called pixel. Each pixel contains location and intensity values. These Digital images get corrupted or noisy by the imaging device or due to external environment in transmission or digitization procedures, then the resultant image is called noise image and to maintain the originality of the image it is very important to eliminate the noise from the image. -
Tight Wavelet Frame Construction and Its Application for Image Processing
Tight Wavelet Frame Construction and its application for Image Processing by Kyunglim Nam (Under the direction of Ming-Jun Lai) Abstract As a generalized wavelet function, a wavelet frame gives more rooms for different construc- tion methods. In this dissertation, first we study two constructive methods for the locally supported tight wavelet frame for any given refinable function whose Laurent polynomial satisfies the QMF or the sub-QMF conditions in Rd. Those methods were introduced by Lai and St¨ockler. However, to apply the constructive method under the sub-QMF condition we need to factorize a nonnegative Laurent polynomial in the multivariate setting into an expression of a finite square sums of Laurent polynomials. We find an explicit finite square sum of Laurent polynomials that expresses the nonnegative Laurent polynomial associated with a 3-direction or 4-direction box spline for various degrees and smoothness. To facilitate the description of the construction of box spline tight wavelet frames, we start with B-spline tight wavelet frame construction. For B-splines we find the sum of squares form by using Fej´er-Rieszfactorization theorem and construct tight wavelet frames. We also use the tensor product of B-splines to construct locally supported bivariate tight wavelet frames. Then we explain how to construct box spline tight wavelet frames using Lai and St¨ockler’s method. In the second part of dissertation, we apply some of our box spline tight wavelet frames for edge detection and image de-noising. We present a lot of images to compare favorably with other edge detection methods including orthonormal wavelet methods and six engineering methods from MATLAB Image Processing Toolbox. -
