TLDR
A contextual hidden Markov model, which was successfully applied to wavelet image denoising, has been adapted into the contourlet domain and the resulting contourlets contextual HMM has been tested in a Denoising application with promising results, which verified its effectiveness in characterizing contourlett images.
Abstract
The contourlet transform is a recently developed two-dimensional transform technique. It is reported to be more effective than wavelets in representing smooth curvature details typical of natural images. To fully exploit the potential of contourlets in image processing and analysis applications, appropriate models are needed to describe statistical characteristics of images in the contourlet domain. In this paper, statistical contourlet image modeling techniques have been investigated. A contextual hidden Markov model, which was successfully applied to wavelet image denoising, has been adapted into the contourlet domain. The resulting contourlet contextual HMM has been tested in a denoising application with promising results, which verified its effectiveness in characterizing contourlet images

Directional multiscale modeling of images using the contourlet transform

TL;DR: This study reveals the highly non-Gaussian marginal statistics and strong interlocation, interscale, and interdirection dependencies of contourlet coefficients and finds that conditioned on the magnitudes of their generalized neighborhood coefficients, contours coefficients can be approximately modeled as Gaussian random variables.

Contourlets: a directional multiresolution image representation

TL;DR: The contourlet transform can be designed to satisfy the anisotropy scaling relation for curves, and thus offers a fast and structured curvelet-like decomposition, and provides a sparse representation for two-dimensional piecewise smooth signals resembling images.

TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper developed a new hidden Markov tree (HMT) for statistical texture characterization in the wavelet domain, where the joint statistics captured by HMT can also exploit the cross correlation across DWT subbands.
