On compactly supported discrete radial wavelets in $L^2(\mathbb{R}^2)$ and application in Tomography

Abstract

Radially symmetric wavelets possessing multiresolution framework are found to be useful in different fields like Pattern recognition, Computed Tomography (CT) etc. The compactly supported wavelets are known to be useful for localized operations in applications such as reconstruction, enhancement etc. In this work we introduce a novel way of designing compactly supported radial wavelets in L 2 pR 2 q from a 1D Daubechies wavelets and obtain a reconstruction formula possessing multiresolution framework. Further, we demonstrate the usefulness of our radial wavelets in Tomography.
