Sparse multidimensional representation using shearlets

Abstract

In this paper we describe a new class of multidimensional representation systems, called shearlets. They are obtained by applying the actions of dilation, shear transformation and translation to a fixed function, and exhibit the geometric and mathematical properties, e.g., directionality, elongated shapes, scales, oscillations, recently advocated by many authors for sparse image processing applications. These systems can be studied within the framework of a generalized multiresolution analysis. This approach leads to a recursive algorithm for the implementation of these systems, that generalizes the classical cascade algorithm.
