And so on. Note for a fixed scale, the output matrix has the same number of rows, but the<br />

number of columns expands by 2. The second row in Figure B.4 is illustrations of output<br />

by taking four scales. So the number of rows are expanded by 4. The dark points are<br />

associated with coefficients with large amplitudes. Obviously there are few coefficients with<br />

significantly large amplitudes and all the rest are small. This matches our original goal to<br />

design this transformation.<br />

Figure B.5: Fast edgelet-like transform of wood grain <strong>image</strong>.<br />

Here real means that they are from some other independent sources and are not made<br />

intentionally for our method. In these <strong>image</strong>s, the linear features are embedded, and we see<br />

that our transform still captures them.<br />

Figure B.5 is a wood grain <strong>image</strong>. There are many needle-like objects in the <strong>image</strong>, and<br />

they are pretty much at the the same scale—having the same length—and along the same<br />

direction. We do our transform at three scales (0, 1, 2 corresponding to no division of the
