Image Registration using Polar Wavelets

Abstract

To deal with the large amounts of data generated in 21st century applications such as multi-level, cross-domain representation of multi-modal signals (e.g. video, images, hyperspectral) for efficient transmission, storage, manipulation, multi-modal data mining, and machine learning; identification of signals (friendly, threat, etc.), streaming video, and 3-D image processing, new methods of information analysis and data storage are needed. With the large amount of noisy 3-D data generated in these 21st century applications and the use of 3-D memory to store this large amount of data, the power of 3-D wavelets for confirmatory image processing shape detection is needed.
