Isotropic-Polyharmonic B-Splines and Wavelets

Michaël Unser, Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Thierry Blu

We propose the use of polyharmonic B-splines to build non-separable two-dimensional wavelet bases. The central idea is to base our design on the isotropic polyharmonic B-splines, a new type of polyharmonic B-splines that do converge to a Gaussian as the or ...

Fractal additive synthesis

Pietro Polotti

Musical and audio signals in general form a major part of the large amount of data exchange taking place in our information-based society. Transmission of high quality audio signals through narrow-band channels, such as the Internet, requires refined metho ...

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 ...

Image security and processing in the JPEG 2000 compressed domain

Raphaël Grosbois

Digital images are becoming increasingly successful thanks to the development and the facilitated access to systems permitting their generation (i.e. camera, scanner, imaging software, etc). A digital image basically corresponds to a 2D discrete set of reg ...

Wavelets Versus Resels in the Context of fMRI: Establishing the Link with SPM

Michaël Unser, Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Thierry Blu

Statistical Parametric Mapping (SPM) is a widely deployed tool for detecting and analyzing brain activity from fMRI data. One of SPM's main features is smoothing the data by a Gaussian filter to increase the SNR. The subsequent statistical inference is bas ...

Wavelet Theory Demystified

Michaël Unser, Thierry Blu

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 wa ...

Locally Temporal Adaptive Transform Scheme for Sub-band Video Coding

Pierre Vandergheynst, Oscar Divorra Escoda

The work presented in this paper extends the concept of sub-band video coding based on a 3D wavelet transform to a more adaptive approach. A formal comparison is presented between the performances inferred by the use of the 3D wavelet transform and the use ...

The finite ridgelet transform for image representation

Martin Vetterli, Minh Do

The ridgelet transform (Candès and Donoho, 1999) was introduced as a sparse expansion for functions on continuous spaces that are smooth away from discontinuities along lines. In this paper, we propose an or- thonormal version of the ridgelet transform for ...

Ridgelet transform applied to motion compensated images

Pierre Vandergheynst, Lorenzo Granai

Wavelet transform is a powerful instrument in catching zero-dimensional singularities. Ridgelets are a powerful instrument in catching and representing mono-dimensional singularities in bidimensional space. In this paper we propose a hybrid video coder sch ...

Wavelet Footprints: Theory, Algorithms and Applications

Martin Vetterli, Pier Luigi Dragotti

In recent years, wavelet-based algorithms have been successful in different signal processing tasks. The wavelet trans- form is a powerful tool because it manages to represent both tran- sient and stationary behaviors of a signal with few transform coeffi- ...
