A Total Variation Spectral Framework for Scale and Texture Analysis

G. Gilboa, “A Total Variation Spectral Framework for Scale and Texture Analysis”, SIAM Journal on Imaging Sciences, Vol. 7, No. 4, pp. 1937–1961, 2014.

Abstract:

A new total variation (TV) spectral framework is presented. A TV transform is proposed which can be interpreted as a spectral domain, where elementary TV features, like disks, approach impulses. A reconstruction formula from the pectral to the spatial domain is given, allowing the design of new filters. The framework formulates a new representation of images which can enhance the understanding of scales in the $L^1$ sense and improve the analysis and processing of textures. An example of a texture processing application illustrates possible benefits of this new framework.
