Complex B-Splines

Michaël Unser, Thierry Blu

We propose a complex generalization of Schoenberg's cardinal splines. To this end, we go back to the Fourier domain definition of the B-splines and extend it to complex-valued degrees. We show that the resulting complex B-splines are piecewise modulated po ...

Isotropic Polyharmonic B-Splines: Scaling Functions and Wavelets

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

In this paper, we use polyharmonic B-splines to build multidimensional wavelet bases. These functions are nonseparable, multidimensional basis functions that are localized versions of radial basis functions. We show that Rabut's elementary polyharmonic B-s ...

The Contourlet Transform: An Efficient Directional Multiresolution Image Representation

Martin Vetterli, Minh Do

The limitations of commonly used separable extensions of one-dimensional transforms, such as the Fourier and wavelet transforms, in capturing the geometry of image edges are well known. In this paper, we pursue a "true" two-dimensional transform that can c ...

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 ...

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 ...

Fractional Splines, Wavelet Bases, and Applications

Michaël Unser

The purpose of this presentation is to describe a recent family of basis functions—the fractional B-splines—which appear to be intimately connected to fractional calculus. Among other properties, we show that they are the convolution kernels that link the ...

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 ...

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 ...

A Complete Family of Scaling Functions: The (α, τ)-Fractional Splines

Michaël Unser, Thierry Blu

We describe a new family of scaling functions, the (α, τ)-fractional splines, which generate valid multiresolution analyses. These functions are characterized by two real parameters: α, which controls the width of the scaling functions; and τ, which specif ...
