The principle and evaluation method of directional selection of complex wavelet transform

Abstract

Previously, Discrete wavelet Transform(DWT) is well known for useful image processing method. Complex Discrete Wavelet Transform(CDWT) is one of the DWT and has the function called directional selection. This is the expected to be applied into shape and texture analysis. But the principle of directional selection is still not clear. In this paper, we consider the principle of directional selection. After that, we propose the evaluation method for directional selection based on the principle. Finally, we confirm the validity of evaluation method.
