Learning sparse representations on the sphere


الملخص بالإنكليزية

Many representation systems on the sphere have been proposed in the past, such as spherical harmonics, wavelets, or curvelets. Each of these data representations is designed to extract a specific set of features, and choosing the best fixed representation system for a given scientific application is challenging. In this paper, we show that we can learn directly a representation system from given data on the sphere. We propose two new adaptive approaches: the first is a (potentially multi-scale) patch-based dictionary learning approach, and the second consists in selecting a representation among a parametrized family of representations, the {alpha}-shearlets. We investigate their relative performance to represent and denoise complex structures on different astrophysical data sets on the sphere.
