Linear feature detection based on ridgelet

Linear feature detection is very important in image processing. The detection efficiency will directly affect the performance of pattern recognition and pattern classification. Based on the idea of ridgelet, this paper presents a new discrete localized ridgelet transform and a new method for detecting linear feature in anisotropic images. Experimental results prove the efficiency of the proposed method.
