Splines and Wavelets: New Perspectives for Pattern Recognition

Michaël Unser

We provide an overview of spline and wavelet techniques with an emphasis on applications in pattern recognition. The presentation is divided in three parts. In the first one, we argue that the spline representation is ideally suited for all processing task ...

Wavelets, Fractals, and Radial Basis Functions

Michaël Unser, Thierry Blu

Wavelets and radial basis functions (RBFs) lead to two distinct ways of representing signals in terms of shifted basis functions. RBFs, unlike wavelets, are nonlocal and do not involve any scaling, which makes them applicable to nonuniform grids. Despite t ...

Nondyadic and nonlinear multiresolution image approximations

Maria Arrate Munoz Barrutia

This thesis focuses on the development of novel multiresolution image approximations. Specifically, we present two kinds of generalization of multiresolution techniques: image reduction for arbitrary scales, and nonlinear approximations using other metrics ...

Sampling innovations

Pina Marziliano

Sampling theory has prospered extensively in the last century. The elegant mathematics and the vast number of applications are the reasons for its popularity. The applications involved in this thesis are in signal processing and communications and call out ...

Wavelets on the sphere : Implementation and approximations

Pierre Vandergheynst, Laurent Jacques

We continue the analysis of the continuous wavelet transform on the 2-sphere, introduced in a previous paper. After a brief review of the transform, we define and discuss the notion of directional spherical wavelet, i.e., wavelets on the sphere that are se ...

Motion Analysis of Echocardiograms Using a Local-Affine, Spatio-Temporal Model

Michaël Unser, Michael Sühling, Muthuvel Arigovindan

We present a new method for estimating heart motion from two-dimensional (2D) echocardiographic sequences. It is inspired by the Lucas-Kanade algorithm for optical flow which estimates motion parameters over a sliding window. However, instead of assuming t ...

Continuous Wavelet Transform with Arbitrary Scales and O(N) Complexity

Michaël Unser

Summary The continuous wavelet transform (CWT) is a common signal-processing tool for the analysis of nonstationary signals. We propose here a new B-spline-based method that allows the CWT computation at any scale. A nice property of the algorithm is that ...

An Exact Method for Computing the Area Moments of Wavelet and Spline Curves

Michaël Unser, Thierry Blu, Mathews Jacob

We present a method for the exact computation of the moments of a region bounded by a curve represented by a scaling function or wavelet basis. Using Green's Theorem, we show that the computation of the area moments is equivalent to applying a suitable mul ...

Orthogonal Quincunx Wavelets with Fractional Orders

Michaël Unser, Mathews Jacob

We present a new family of 2D 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 α, which may be non-integer. The wavelets have good isotr ...

An Error Analysis for the Sampling of Periodic Signals

Michaël Unser, Thierry Blu, Mathews Jacob

We analyze the representation of periodic signals in a scaling function basis. This representation is sufficiently general to include the widely used approximation schemes like wavelets, splines and Fourier series representation. We derive a closed form ex ...
