This is the repository for the source code of *Isotropic Wavelet*, a plugin for the [bioimage analysis software Icy](http://icy.bioimageanalysis.org/), which was developed by members or former members of the [Biological Image Analysis unit at Institut Pasteur](https://research.pasteur.fr/en/team/bioimage-analysis/). This plugin is licensed under GPL3 license.
Icy is developed and maintained by [Biological Image Analysis unit at Institut Pasteur](https://research.pasteur.fr/en/team/bioimage-analysis/). The [source code of Icy](https://gitlab.pasteur.fr/bia/icy) is also licensed under a GPL3 license.
## Plugin description
<!-- Short description of goals of package, with descriptive links to the documentation website -->
Isotropic wavelets transform for 2D images.
The plugin provides a multiscale representation of 2D images without directional bias. The transform defines a 'tight frame' so that images are easily reconstructed from wavelet coefficients.
See: Chenouard, N.; Unser, M., "3D Steerable Wavelets in Practice," Image Processing, IEEE Transactions on , vol.21, no.11, pp.4522,4533, Nov. 2012, for a complete description in 3D.
