A functional analysis model for natural images permitting structured compression
This paper describes a compact perceptual image model intended for morphological representation of the visual information contained in natural images. We explain why the total variation can be a criterion to split the information between the two main visual structures, which are the sketch and the microtextures. We deduce a morphological decomposition scheme, based on a segmentation where the borders of the regions correspond to the location of the topological singularities of a topographic map. This...
