TLDR
An algorithm that reconstructs one-dimensional signals and images from their sharper variation points at dyadic scales is described and it is proved that the evolution across scales of the wavelet maxima characterizes the local shape of the sharp variations of the signal.
Abstract
An algorithm that reconstructs one-dimensional signals and images from their sharper variation points at dyadic scales is described. This algorithm exactly reconstructs images from their multiscale edges. It is proved that the evolution across scales of the wavelet maxima characterizes the local shape of the sharp variations of the signal. One can thus not only detect edges but also classify them. The wavelet maxima representation is a new reorganization of the image information that makes it possible to develop algorithms uniquely based on edges for solving image processing problems. >

A Computational Approach to Edge Detection

TL;DR: There is a natural uncertainty principle between detection and localization performance, which are the two main goals, and with this principle a single operator shape is derived which is optimal at any scale.

Information in the zero crossings of bandpass signals

TL;DR: In this article, an interesting subclass of bandpass signals, where the zero crossings of a bandpass signal determine its sign within a multiplicative constant, is described, and the members may have complex zeros, but it is necessary that h should have no zeros in common with its Hilbert transform other than real simple zeros.
