Abstract: We define a set of operators that localise a radial image in radial space and radial frequency simultaneously. We find the eigenfunctions of this operator and thus define a non-separable orthogonal set of radial wavelet functions that may be considered optimally concentrated over a region of radial space and radial scale space, defined via a doublet of parameters. We give analytic forms for their energy concentration over this region. We show how the radial function localisation operator can be generalised to an operator, localising any square integrable function in two dimensional Euclidean space. We show that the latter operator, with an appropriate choice of localisation region, approximately has the same eigenfunctions as the radial operator. Based on the radial wavelets we define a set of quaternionic valued wavelet functions that can extract local orientation for discontinuous signals and both orientation and phase structure for oscillatory signals. The full set of quaternionic wavelet functions are component wise orthogonal; hence their statistical properties are tractable, and we give forms for the variability of the estimates of the local phase and orientation, as well as the local energy of the image. By averaging estimates across wavelets, a substantial reduction in the variance is achieved.
