TLDR
It has been found that contourlets transform outperforms the curvelets and wavelet transform in terms of signal noise ratio.
Abstract
A special member of the emerging family of multi scale geometric transforms is the contourlet transform which was developed in the last few years in an attempt to overcome inherent limitations of traditional multistage representations such as curvelets and wavelets. The biomedical images were denoised using firstly wavelet than curvelets and finally contourlets transform and results are presented in this paper. It has been found that contourlets transform outperforms the curvelets and wavelet transform in terms of signal noise ratio

Living like there’s no tomorrow: The psychological effects of an earthquake on savings and spending behavior

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a model of post-disaster savings that reveals two opposing tendencies: the need to self-insure through increased savings, and the drive to "enjoy life while it lasts" through increased spending.

The contourlet transform: an efficient directional multiresolution image representation

TL;DR: A "true" two-dimensional transform that can capture the intrinsic geometrical structure that is key in visual information is pursued and it is shown that with parabolic scaling and sufficient directional vanishing moments, contourlets achieve the optimal approximation rate for piecewise smooth functions with discontinuities along twice continuously differentiable curves.

The curvelet transform for image denoising

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe approximate digital implementations of two new mathematical transforms, namely, the ridgelet transform and the curvelet transform, which offer exact reconstruction, stability against perturbations, ease of implementation, and low computational complexity.

The curvelet transform for image denoising

TL;DR: In the tests reported here, simple thresholding of the curvelet coefficients is very competitive with 'state of the art' techniques based on wavelets, including thresholded of decimated or undecimated wavelet transforms and also including tree-based Bayesian posterior mean methods.

Gray and color image contrast enhancement by the curvelet transform

TL;DR: A new method for contrast enhancement based on the curvelet transform is presented, which out-performs other enhancement methods on noisy images, but on noiseless or nearNoiseless images curvelet based enhancement is not remarkably better than wave let based enhancement.
