The ridgelet transform was introduced as a sparse expansion for functions on continuous spaces that are smooth away from discontinuities along lines. We propose an orthonormal version of the ridgelet transform for discrete and finite-size images. Our construction uses the finite Radon transform (FRAT) as a building block. To overcome the periodization effect of a finite transform, we introduce a novel ordering of the FRAT coefficients. We also analyze the FRAT as a frame operator and derive the exact frame bounds. The resulting finite ridgelet transform (FRIT) is invertible, nonredundant and computed via fast algorithms. Furthermore, this construction leads to a family of directional and orthonormal bases for images. Numerical results show that the FRIT is more effective than the wavelet transform in approximating and denoising images with straight edges.

Image denoising method integrating ridgelet transform and improved wavelet threshold.

In the field of image processing, common noise types include Gaussian noise, salt and pepper noise, speckle noise, uniform noise and pulse noise. Different types of noise require different denoising algorithms and techniques to maintain image quality and fidelity. Traditional image denoising methods not only remove image noise, but also result in the detail loss in the image.

This paper proposes a new method for short-term electric load forecasting using a Ridgelet Neural Network (RNN) combined with a wavelet transform and optimized by a Self-Adapted (SA) Kho-Kho algorithm (SAKhoKho). The aim of this method is to improve the accuracy and reliability of electric load forecasting, which is essential for the planning and operation of competitive electrical networks. The proposed method uses the Wavelet Transform (WT) to decompose the load data into different frequency components and applies the RNN to each component separately.

Background: Empirical curvelet and ridgelet image fusion is an emerging technique in the field of image processing that aims to combine the benefits of both transforms.

Objective: The proposed method begins by decomposing the input images into curvelet and ridgelet coefficients using respective transform algorithms for Computerized Tomography (CT) and magnetic Resonance Imaging (MR) brain images.

Methods: An empirical coefficient selection strategy is then employed to identify the most significant coefficients from both domains based on their magnitude and directionality.

The detection of meningioma tumors is the most crucial task compared with other tumors because of their lower pixel intensity. Modern medical platforms require a fully automated system for meningioma detection. Hence, this study proposes a novel and highly efficient hybrid Convolutional neural network (HCNN) classifier to distinguish meningioma brain images from non-meningioma brain images.
