Real-time compensation of hysteresis in piezoelectric-stack actuator tracking a stochastic reference

Denis Gillet, Philippe Müllhaupt, Yvan Michellod

This paper presents a convenient way to invert the classical Preisach model to compensate the hysteresis of a piezoelectric stack actuator in real-time. The advantage of the proposed method lies in the possibility to track a stochastic signal and compensat ...

A New Family of Rotation-Covariant Wavelets on the Hexagonal Lattice

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville

We present multiresolution spaces of complex rotation-covariant functions, deployed on the 2-D hexagonal lattice. The designed wavelets, which are complex-valued, provide an important phase information for image analysis, which is missing in the discrete w ...

The SURE-LET Approach to Image Denoising

Thierry Blu, Florian Luisier

We propose a new approach to image denoising, based on the image-domain minimization of an estimate of the mean squared error—Stein's unbiased risk estimate (SURE). Unlike most existing denoising algorithms, using the SURE makes it needless to hypothesize ...

Wavelets on non-Euclidean manifolds

Iva Bogdanova Vandergheynst

This dissertation investigates wavelets as a multiscale tool on non-Euclidean manifolds. The growing importance of using non-Euclidean manifolds as a geometric model for data comes from the diversity of the data collected. In this work we mostly deal with ...

An Orthogonal Family of Quincunx Wavelets with Continuously Adjustable Order

Michaël Unser, Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville

We present a new family of two-dimensional and three-dimensional orthogonal wavelets which uses quincunx sampling. The orthogonal refinement filters have a simple analytical expression in the Fourier domain as a function of the order λ, which may be nonint ...

Scrambling for Anonymous Visual Communications

Touradj Ebrahimi

In this paper, we present a system for anonymous visual communications. Target application is an anonymous video chat. The system is identifying faces in the video sequence by means of face detection or skin detection. The corresponding regions are subsequ ...

Intra-Adaptive Motion-Compensated Lifted Wavelets for Video Coding

Pierre Vandergheynst, Oscar Divorra Escoda

In this work, we study the effect of inserting spatially local temporal adaptivity to motion compensated frame adaptive transforms for video coding. Motion compensation aligns the temporal wavelet decomposition along motion trajectories. However, valid tra ...

Guest Editorial: Wavelets in Medical Imaging

Michaël Unser

I. Introduction Wavelets are the result of collective efforts that recognized common threads between ideas and concepts that had been independently developed and investigated by distinct research communities. They provide a unifying framework for decompos ...

Orthogonal Hilbert transform filter banks and wavelets

Martin Vetterli, Thierry Blu

Complex wavelet transforms offer the opportunity to perform directional and coherent processing based on the local magnitude and phase of signals and images. Although denoising, segmentation, and image enhancement are significantly improved using complex w ...

Fractional Wavelets, Derivatives, and Besov Spaces

Michaël Unser, Thierry Blu

We show that a multi-dimensional scaling function of order γ (possibly fractional) can always be represented as the convolution of a polyharmonic B-spline of order γ and a distribution with a bounded Fourier transform which has neither order nor smoothness ...
