A new complex-directional wavelet transform and its application to image denoising

Research output: Contribution to conferencePaperpeer-review

Abstract

This paper describes a new complex-directional expansive perfect reconstruction two-dimensional wavelet transform. Each complex wavelet is oriented along one of six possible directions, and the magnitude of each complex wavelet has a smooth bell-shape. The transform is based both on the complex dual-tree wavelet transform introduced by Kingsbury and on the double-density DWT. It is designed so as to possess simultaneously the properties of the complex dual-tree DWT and the double-density DWT. The paper also describes a simple subband-dependent data-driven denoising algorithm for use with this transform. An example is shown to illustrate the performance of the denoising algorithm and the transform.
