Predicting the pose of objects from a single image is an important but difficult computer vision problem. Methods that predict a single point estimate do not predict the pose of objects with symmetries well and cannot represent uncertainty.…
We review scale-discretized wavelets on the sphere, which are directional and allow one to probe oriented structure in data defined on the sphere. Furthermore, scale-discretized wavelets allow in practice the exact synthesis of a signal…

We consider an energy functional motivated by the celebrated $K_{13}$ problem in the Oseen-Frank theory of nematic liquid crystals. It is defined for sphere-valued functions and appears as the usual Dirichlet energy with an additional…
In this paper, we analyze the error estimate of a wavelet frame based image restoration method from degraded and incomplete measurements. We present the error between the underlying original discrete image and the approximate solution which…
For a given symmetric refinable mask obeying the sum rule of order $n$, an explicit method is suggested for the construction of mutually symmetric almost frame-like wavelet system providing approximation order $n$. A transformation based on…
To date weak gravitational lensing surveys have typically been restricted to small fields of view, such that the $\textit{flat-sky approximation}$ has been sufficiently satisfied. However, with Stage IV surveys ($\textit{e.g. LSST}$ and…
