<title>Continuous wavelet transform for oriented texture analysis</title>

Abstract

The use of space-scale representations for the frequential analysis of oriented textures is investigated. For this purpose, the Continuous Wavelet Transform is considered. Its discretization in the framework of the Mellin-Transform is described. The behavior of this transformation as a tool for space-frequency representation is compared to the Wigner Distribution on test images. Parameters measuring shape and orientation of local spectra are extracted from these representations, and illustrated on natural textures.
