This work presents the construction of a novel spherical wavelet basis designed for incomplete spherical datasets, i.e. datasets which are missing in a particular region of the sphere. The eigenfunctions of the Slepian spatial-spectral concentration problem (the Slepian functions) are a set of orthogonal basis functions which exist within a defined region. Slepian functions allow one to compute a convolution on the incomplete sphere by leveraging the recently proposed sifting convolution and extending it to any set of basis functions. Through a tiling of the Slepian harmonic line one may construct scale-discretised wavelets. An illustration is presented based on an example region on the sphere defined by the topographic map of the Earth. The Slepian wavelets and corresponding wavelet coefficients are constructed from this region, and are used in a straightforward denoising example.
Scale-discretised wavelets yield a directional wavelet framework on the sphere where a signal can be probed not only in scale and position but also in orientation. Furthermore, a signal can be synthesised from its wavelet coefficients exactly, in the
We revisit the spherical Radon transform, also called the Funk-Radon transform, viewing it as an axisymmetric convolution on the sphere. Viewing the spherical Radon transform in this manner leads to a straightforward derivation of its spherical harmo
We construct a directional spin wavelet framework on the sphere by generalising the scalar scale-discretised wavelet transform to signals of arbitrary spin. The resulting framework is the only wavelet framework defined natively on the sphere that is
A new spin wavelet transform on the sphere is proposed to analyse the polarisation of the cosmic microwave background (CMB), a spin $pm 2$ signal observed on the celestial sphere. The scalar directional scale-discretised wavelet transform on the sphe
We discuss a new scale-discretised directional wavelet transform to analyse spin signals defined on the sphere, in particular the polarisation of the cosmic microwave background (CMB).
