Shearlet frames with short support

Abstract

Compactly supported shearlets have been studied in both theory and applications. In this paper, we construct symmetric compactly supported shearlet systems based on pseudo splines of type II. Specially, using B-splines, we construct shearlet frame having explicit analytical forms which is important for applications. The shearlet systems based on B-splines also provide optimally sparse approximation within cartoon-liked image.
