Abstract.A group theoretic approach to image representation and analysis is presented. The concept of a wavelet transform is extended to incorporate different types of groups. The wavelet approach is generalized to Lie groups that satisfy conditions of compactness and commutability and to groups that are determined in a particular way by subgroups that satisfy these conditions. These conditions are fundamental to finding the invariance measure for the admissibility condition of a mother wavelet-type transform. The following special cases of interest in image representation and in biological and computer vision are discussed: 2-and 3-D rigid motion, similarity and Lorentzian groups, and 2-D projective groups obtained from 3-D camera rotation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
