THE CAUCHY DUAL AND 2-ISOMETRIC LIFTINGS OF CONCAVE OPERATORS
2018
We present some 2-isometric lifting and extension results for Hilbert space concave operators. For a special class of concave operators we study their Cauchy dual operators and discuss conditions under which these operators are subnormal. In particular, the quasinormality of compressions of such operators is studied.
Lifting paths on quotient spaces
2009
Abstract Let X be a compactum and G an upper semi-continuous decomposition of X such that each element of G is the continuous image of an ordered compactum. If the quotient space X / G is the continuous image of an ordered compactum, under what conditions is X also the continuous image of an ordered compactum? Examples around the (non-metric) Hahn–Mazurkiewicz Theorem show that one must place severe conditions on G if one wishes to obtain positive results. We prove that the compactum X is the image of an ordered compactum when each g ∈ G has 0-dimensional boundary. We also consider the case when G has only countably many non-degenerate elements. These results extend earlier work of the firs…
Homotopy limits for 2-categories
2008
AbstractWe study homotopy limits for 2-categories using the theory of Quillen model categories. In order to do so, we establish the existence of projective and injective model structures on diagram 2-categories. Using these results, we describe the homotopical behaviour not only of conical limits but also of weighted limits. Finally, pseudo-limits are related to homotopy limits.
Locally Supported Wavelets on the Sphere
1998
We construct explicitly wavelets on the sphere that provide a locally supported and stable basis for the Sobolev spaces H2,0 ⩽ s < 1. We get at hand at fast wavelet transform with almost optimal complexity. This basis can be easily implemented in numerical schemes. We apply the wavelet transform to singularity detection and data compression. This contribution summarizes the results of [1].
Fractional wavelet transform
1997
The wavelet transform, which has had a growing importance in signal and image processing, has been generalized by association with both the wavelet transform and the fractional Fourier transform. Possible implementations of the new transformation are in image compression, image transmission, transient signal processing, etc. Computer simulations demonstrate the abilities of the novel transform. Optical implementation of this transform is briefly discussed.
Pattern recognition using sequential matched filtering of wavelet coefficients
1997
Abstract A bank of wavelets is used for pattern recognition by means of sequential filtering. Each element of the bank is matched to a different wavelet coefficient of the target. A sequential process leads to a set of correlation outputs. Post-processing by means of a fast blending method provides the final output correlation. Both computer simulations and optical experiments are presented, showing the discrimination capability for this implementation.
Multiscale Edges Detection by Wavelet Transform for Model of Face Recognition
1996
Publisher Summary The linear auto-associator is a particular case of the linear-associator. The goal of this network is to associate a set of stimuli to itself, which could be used to store and retrieve face images and it also could be applied as a pre-processing device to simulate some psychological tasks—such as categorizing face according to their gender. A technique of learning based on the wavelet transform can improve recognition capability when the pattern images are with a great noise. One of the ways to store and recall face images uses the linear auto-associative memory. This connectionist model is in conjunction with a pixel-based coding of the faces. The image processing using t…
Regularization of optical flow with M-band wavelet transform
2003
The optical flow is an important tool for problems arising in the analysis of image sequences. Flow fields generated by various existing solving techniques are often noisy and partially incorrect, especially near occlusions or motion boundaries. Therefore, the additional information on the scene gained from a sequence of images is usually worse. In this paper, discrete wavelet transform has been adopted in order to enhance the reliability of optical flow estimation. A generalization of the well-known dyadic orthonormal wavelets to the case of the dilation scale factor M > 2 with N vanishing moments has been used, and it has proved to be a useful regularizing tool. The advantages in the comp…
A Mellin transform approach to wavelet analysis
2015
The paper proposes a fractional calculus approach to continuous wavelet analysis. Upon introducing a Mellin transform expression of the mother wavelet, it is shown that the wavelet transform of an arbitrary function f(t) can be given a fractional representation involving a suitable number of Riesz integrals of f(t), and corresponding fractional moments of the mother wavelet. This result serves as a basis for an original approach to wavelet analysis of linear systems under arbitrary excitations. In particular, using the proposed fractional representation for the wavelet transform of the excitation, it is found that the wavelet transform of the response can readily be computed by a Mellin tra…
Discrete Periodic Spline Wavelets and Wavelet Packets
2014
Similarly to periodic polynomial splines, existence of the set of embedded discrete periodic splines spaces \(\varPi [N]= \fancyscript{S}_{[0]}\supset {}^{2r} \fancyscript{S}_{[1]}\supset \cdots \supset {}^{2r} \fancyscript{S}_{[m]}\cdots \), combined with the DSHA provides flexible tools for design and implementation of wavelet and wavelet packet transforms. As in the polynomial case, all the calculations consist of fast direct and inverse Fourier transforms (FFT and IFFT, respectively) and simple arithmetic operations. Raising the splines order does not increase the computation complexity.
