Many flexible parameterizations exist to represent data on the sphere. In addition to the venerable spherical harmonics, we have the Slepian basis, harmonic splines, wavelets and wavelet-like Slepian frames. In this paper we focus on the…
X-ray tomographic image reconstruction consists of determining an object function from its projections. In many applications such as non-destructive testing, we look for a fault region (air) in a homogeneous, known background (metal). The…
Deep learning models extract, before a final classification layer, features or patterns which are key for their unprecedented advantageous performance. However, the process of complex nonlinear feature extraction is not well understood, a…
The underlying mathematics of the wavelet formalism is a representation of the inhomogeneous Lorentz group or the affine group. Within the framework of wavelets, it is possible to define the ``window'' which allows us to introduce a…
Deconvolution is essential for radio interferometric imaging to produce scientific quality data because of finite sampling in the Fourier plane. Most deconvolution algorithms are based on CLEAN which uses a grid of image pixels, or clean…
We present the source separation framework SCARLET for multi-band images, which is based on a generalization of the Non-negative Matrix Factorization to alternative and several simultaneous constraints. Our approach describes the observed…
Many natural shapes have most of their characterizing features concentrated over a few regions in space. For example, humans and animals have distinctive head shapes, while inorganic objects like chairs and airplanes are made of…
In this paper, we present methods for image compression on the basis of eigenvalue decomposition of normal matrices. The proposed methods are convenient and self-explanatory, requiring fewer and easier computations as compared to some…
Today, image denoising by thresholding of wavelet coefficients is a commonly used tool for 2D image enhancement. Since the data product of spectroscopic imaging surveys has two spatial and one spectral dimension, the techniques for…
In this paper, a new directionally adaptive, learning based, single image super resolution method using multiple direction wavelet transform, called Directionlets is presented. This method uses directionlets to effectively capture…
This work explores the ability of computer vision algorithms to characterise dark matter haloes formed in different models of structure formation. We produce surface mass density maps of the most massive haloes in a suite of eight numerical…
Wavelet based algorithms in numerical analysis are similar to other transform methods in that vectors and operators are expanded into a basis and the computations take place in this new system of coordinates. However, due to the recursive…
The Internet has turned the entire world into a small village;this is because it has made it possible to share millions of images and videos. However, sending and receiving a huge amount of data is considered to be a main challenge. To…
Confocal microscopy of fluorescent labeled particles has been used to study the dynamical and structural properties of colloidal and granular matter in real space. Localization algorithms allow for a fully automatized determination of the…
We introduce an algorithm of joint approximation of a function and its first derivative by alternative orthogonal polynomials on the interval [0,1].The algorithm exhibits properties of shape preserving approximation for the function. A weak…
This work introduces a new fitting formalism for isophotes which enables more accurate modelling of galaxies with non-elliptical shapes, such as disk galaxies viewed edge-on or galaxies with X-shaped/peanut bulges. Within this scheme, the…
Establishing accurate morphological measurements of galaxies in a reasonable amount of time for future big-data surveys such as EUCLID, the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope or the Wide Field Infrared Survey Telescope is a challenge. Because…
Image restoration is one of the most important areas in imaging science. Mathematical tools have been widely used in image restoration, where wavelet frame based approach is one of the successful examples. In this paper, we introduce a…
Interferometry is one of the central organizing principles of optics. Key to interferometry is the concept of optical delay, which facilitates spectral analysis in terms of time-harmonics. In contrast, when analyzing a beam in a Hilbert…
In recent years directional multiscale transformations like the curvelet- or shearlet transformation have gained considerable attention. The reason for this is that these transforms are - unlike more traditional transforms like wavelets -…
