Where Published: 2nd Ann. IEEE Intl. Conf. on Image Processing. Washington, DC. October, 1995

We describe an architecture for efficient and accurate linear decomposition of an image into scale and oeientation subbands. The basis functions of this decomposition are directional derivative operators of any desired order. We describe the construction and implementation of the transform.
