Wenlu Wang, Guofan Jin, Yingbai Yan, Minxian Wu · Applied Optics · 1995
We describe a joint wavelet-transform correlator in which the wavelet function is combined with the input image as the input joint image to realize the wavelet transform of the objective image. The Haar wavelet and the Roberts filter are chosen as the wavelet functions to extract the features of the objective image. The relationship of the Haar wavelet and the Roberts filter is analyzed mathematically based on admissible condition of the wavelet. Computer simulations are provided to verify the theory and to illustrate the performance of this correlator.
