Wedgelets’ dictionary (Donoho D., 1999) MW(Si,j) – number of straight wedgelets on Si,j
Modifications of dictionary (1) • Beamlets (Donoho D., Huo X., 2000) • Platelets (Willett R.M., Nowak R.D., 2001)
Modifications of dictionary (2) • Surflets (Chandrasekaran V. et al., 2004) • Arclets (Führ H. et al., 2005)
Conic curves parabola Second order curves: ellipse hyperbola
New modification – generalization (2003) Second Order Wedgelets MW(Si,j) – number of straight wedgelets on Si,j D – the number of bits used to code parameter d
Comparison of different kinds of approximation Original image and its decompositions: a) wavelets b) wedgelets c) second order wed.
Optimal image approximation (1) Optimal approximation is the solution of the problem: Solving method: - For every quadtree element the optimal wedgelet function is found from among the given node - Using the bottom-up tree pruning algorithm the optimal subtree is found
Wedgelet ensuring the smallest error Processing of all nodes Bottom-up tree prunning algorithm Full quadtree Optimal quadtree Optimal image approximation (2)
Speed up of computations 1) Find the best wedgelet w1 within the smaller set of beamlets 1) 2) 2) Find the best wedgelet w2 in neighbourhood of w1 (for example +/- 5 pixels)
Fast computation of second order wedgelet 1) Find the best wedgelet w1 2) Find the best second order wedgelet w2 in neighbourhood of w1 (for example +/- 5 pixels from the wedgelet w1) and changing the value of parameter d 1) 2)
Optimal image approximation – example (second order wedgelets) level 1 level 2 optimal approximation level 3 level 5 quadtree partition

Image denoising But, in the case of noisy images, instead of F we have Z:
Summary The adventages of image coding and processing with the use of second order wedgelets: • Improvement of coding effectiveness (0-25% in the case of artificial images and ~1.44% in the case of still images) • Better denoising effectiveness in comparison to other known methods (up to 0.5dB) • Geometrical multiresolution noise resistant tool in edge detection
