Coherent Multiscale Image Processing using Quaternion Wavelets Wai Lam Chan M.S. defense Committee: Hyeokho Choi, Richard Baraniuk, Michael Orchard
Image Location Information Edges: “location” “orientation” Goal: Encode/Estimate location information from phase (coherent processing)
Location and Phase d • Fourier phase to encode/analyze location • Linear phase change as signal shifts (Fourier Shift Theorem)
Image Geometry and Phase Rich’s picture Rich’s phase-only picture Rich’s phase + Cameraman’s amplitude • Global phase (no localization)
Local Fourier Analysis • Local Fourier analysis for “location” • Short time Fourier transform (Gabor analysis) • Local Fourier phase (relates to local geometry)
But conventional discrete wavelets are “Real” Lack of phase to encode geometry! Wavelet Analysis • “Multiscale” analysis • Sparse representation of piecewise smooth signals • Orthonormal basis / tight frame • Fast computation by filter banks
Short Time Fourier vs. Wavelet Short time Fourier Wavelet “Real”
Phase in Wavelets • Development of dual-tree complex wavelet transform (DT-CWT) DWT [e.g., Daubechies] 1-D HT / analytic signal 1-D DT-CWT [Lina, Kingsbury, Selesnick,…]
Phase in Wavelets • Development of DT-CWT and quaternion wavelet transform (DT-QWT) DWT [e.g., Daubechies] 1-D HT and analytic signal 1-D DT-CWT [Lina, Kingsbury, Selesnick,…] 2-D HT and analytic signal (complex / quaternion) DT-QWT 2-D DT-CWT [Chan, Choi, Baraniuk] [Kingsbury, Selesnick,…]
