Presentation / Conference Contribution
Cossu, R., Jermyn, I., & Zerubia, J. (2023, January). Multimodal statistics of adaptive wavelet packet coefficients: experimental evidence and theory. Presented at 4th International Conference on Physics in Signal and Image Processing, Toulouse, France

In recent work, it was noted that although the subband histograms for standard wavelet coefcients take on a generalized Gaussian form, this is no longer true for wavelet packet bases adapted to a given texture. Instead, three types of subband statist... Read More about Multimodal statistics of adaptive wavelet packet coefficients: experimental evidence and theory.
