Abstract

The Discrete Pulse Transform (DPT) for images and videos has been developed over the past few years and provides aВ theoretically sound setting for a nonlinear decomposition of an image or video. In [1] the theoretical basis of the DPT was presented. In this paper we now present a soundВ characterization of this useful nonlinear hierarchical decomposition by referring to its ability as a separator, the consistency of the decomposition, as well as the smoothing ability of the decomposition.

Highlights

  • The Discrete Pulse Transform (DPT) is a nonlinear hierarchical decomposition obtained by the successive application of the LULU operators Ln and Un where n increases from 1 to N, where N is the number of data points in the signal

  • The LULU operators were extended in detail to multidimensional arrays in [1], which provides a framework for the obvious areas of image processing in two dimensions, as well as video processing in three dimensions

  • This is the important advantage of the LULU operators, which are only concerned about size, and morphological filters, which operate in conjunction with a specified structuring element with a specified size

Summary

INTRODUCTION

The Discrete Pulse Transform (DPT) is a nonlinear hierarchical decomposition obtained by the successive application of the LULU operators Ln and Un where n increases from 1 to N , where N is the number of data points in the signal. For a concise overview of the onedimensional LULU operators see [2] as well as further collaboration with Laurie and Wild. The LULU operators were extended in detail to multidimensional arrays in [1], which provides a framework for the obvious areas of image processing in two dimensions, as well as video processing in three dimensions. We provide a short overview of these operators and the DPT here for completeness
