Non-separable wavelets

Non-separable wavelets are multi-dimensional wavelets that are not implemented using one-dimensional operations. They have been studied since 1992. In contrast to separable wavelets, the non-separable wavelets have several advantages. The non-separable filters imply more parameters in design. This consequently leads to better filters.

Examples change

  • Red-black wavelets[1]
  • Contourlets[2]
  • Shearlets[3]
  • Directionlets[4]
  • Steerable pyramids[5]
  • Non-separable schemes for tensor-product wavelets[6]
