Contourlet transform in openCV
In this SO post you can find some good implementations for wavelet transform. I was wondering if there is any code or library for contourlet transform in OpenCV or even an algorithm that shows how to implement contourlet transform. Contourlet is very useful in edge detection problems. Since the mathematics behind contourlet is hard I couldn't implement it myself.
The curvelet technology, which acts as a base for the contourlet approach is found here programmed with a C++ interface. Otherwise I am afraid there are no direct implementations and thus you will need to program it yourself. I am sure OpenCV can provide some of the internal building blocks, but probably not all.
Thank you for your help. Do you know any good source that explains contourlet transform? My problem is that everything that I have found includes lots of mathematics and no algorithm for contourlet transform.
Haha welcome to computer vision, where every new algorithm is supported with a lot of mathematics. Further than the original paper, I did not find any easy to understand explanation out there.
Thats why I love computer vision, it has a pwerful backgroulnd. Well, I think I have to code it from scratch.
Good luck!
