Abstract
The 2D-complex Riesz transform is an extension of the Hilbert transform to images. It can be used to model local image structure as a superposition of sinusoids, and to construct 2D steerable wavelets. In this paper we propose to model local image structure as the superposition of a 2D steerable wavelet at multiple amplitudes and orientations. These parameters are estimated by applying recent developments in super-resolution theory. Using 2D steerable wavelets corresponding to line or edge segments then allows for the underlying structure of image features such as junctions and edges to be determined.
