This paper is concerned with density estimation of directional data on the sphere. We introduce a procedure based on thresholding on a new type of spherical wavelets called {\it needlets}. We establish a minimax result and prove its…
Affine transformation is one of the most common transformations in nature, which is an important issue in the field of computer vision and shape analysis. And affine transformations often occur in both shape and color space simultaneously,…
We demonstrate new axisymmetric inverse-design techniques that can solve problems radically different from traditional lenses, including \emph{reconfigurable} lenses (that shift a multi-frequency focal spot in response to refractive-index…

For any symmetry group $H$ and any appropriate matrix dilation we give an explicit method for the construction of $H$-symmetric refinable interpolatory refinable masks which satisfy sum rule of arbitrary order $n$. For each such mask we…
Cartoon-like images, i.e., C^2 functions which are smooth apart from a C^2 discontinuity curve, have by now become a standard model for measuring sparse (non-linear) approximation properties of directional representation systems. It was…
An end-to-end trainable ConvNet architecture, that learns to harness the power of shape representation for matching disparate image pairs, is proposed. Disparate image pairs are deemed those that exhibit strong affine variations in scale,…

The Easy Path Wavelet Transform is an adaptive transform for bivariate functions (in particular natural images) which has been proposed in [1]. It provides a sparse representation by finding a path in the domain of the function leveraging…
The note focuses on the differential geometric approach to the study of nonlinear systems that are affine in control. We first develop normal forms for nonlinear system affine in control. Based on these normal forms, we then address the…

Continuing our recent work we study polynomial masks of multivariate tight wavelet frames from two additional and complementary points of view: convexity and system theory. We consider such polynomial masks that are derived by means of the…
Frames in separable Hilbert spaces gives stable analysis and reconstruction of each vector in the underlying space. In this paper, we study frame conditions for a collection of matrix-valued functions obtained by non-uniform shifts. We give…
Recently, shearlet systems were introduced as a means to derive efficient encoding methodologies for anisotropic features in 2-dimensional data with a unified treatment of the continuum and digital setting. However, only very few…
We identity the optimal non-infinitesimal direction of descent for a convex function. An algorithm is developed that can theoretically minimize a subset of (non-convex) functions.
One approach to ease the construction of frames is to first construct local components and then build a global frame from these. In this paper we will show that the study of the relation between a frame and its local components leads to the…
In this paper, we design mother wavelets for the 1D continuous wavelet transform with some optimality properties. An optimal mother wavelet here is one that has an ambiguity function with minimal spread in the continuous coefficient space…
This paper offers a new regard on compactly supported wavelets derived from FIR filters. Although being continuous wavelets, analytical formulation are lacking for such wavelets. Close approximations for daublets (Daubechies wavelets) and…

Compared to scalar framelets, multiframelets have certain advantages, such as relatively smaller supports on generators, high vanishing moments, etc. The balancing property of multiframelets is very desired, as it reflects how efficient…
