A new construction of shearlets

Abstract

In order to achieve optimally sparse approximations of signals exhibiting anisotropic singularities, the shearlet systems that are systems of functions generated by one generator with dilation, shear transformation and translation operators applied to it were introduced. In this paper, we will construct the shearlet systems that are not only Parseval frames for $L^2({ℝ}^2)$ but they are also obtained from an $AB$-MRA associated with wavelet multiresolution, and by using this approach, we obtain the corresponding filters for these systems. For this purpose, the tensor product of the corresponding wavelet scaling function and a compact support bump function is used to construct the scaling function associated with the shearlet.
