“…For a discrete image t(n), agreement with (1) may be obtained by fitting the pixel values with analytically differentiable continuous interpolating functions such as splines [8] to construct an invertible (i.e., perfect reconstruction, or PR) AM-FM transform. This has enabled the development of modulation domain filters, in which a filtered image is reconstructed from modified AM and FM functions to achieve signal processing goals such as frequency selective attenuation [9], rotation, and scaling [10,11] which would be difficult or impossible to achieve by traditional filtering methods.…”
