Resolution of the wavefront set using continuous shearlets

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: It is known that the continuous wavelet transform of a function f decays very rapidly near the points where f is smooth, while it decays slowly near the irregular points. This property allows one to precisely identify the singular support of f. However, the continuous wavelet transform is unable to provide additional information about the geometry of the singular points. In this paper, we introduce a new transform for functions and distributions on R2, called the Continuous Shearlet Transform. This is defined by mathcalSmathcalHf(a,s,t)=ipfpsiast, where the analyzing elements psiast are dilated and translated copies of a single generating function psi and, thus, they form an affine system. The resulting continuous shearlets psiast are smooth functions at continuous scales a>0, locations tinR2 and oriented along lines of slope sinR in the frequency domain. The Continuous Shearlet Transform transform is able to identify not only the location of the singular points of a distribution f, but also the orientation of their distributed singularities. As a result, we can use this transform to exactly characterize the wavefront set of f.
