Abstract

In recent work, it was noted that although the subband histograms for standard wavelet coefcients take on a generalized Gaussian form, this is no longer true for wavelet packet bases adapted to a given texture. Instead, three types of subband statistics are observed: Gaussian, generalized Gaussian, and interestingly, in some subbands, bi- or multi-modal histograms. Motivated by this observation, we provide additional experimental conrmation of the existence of multimodal subbands, and provide a theoretical explanation for their occurrence. The results reveal the connection of such subbands with the characteristic structure in a texture, and thus conrm the importance of such subbands for image modelling and applications.
