Introduction To The Monogenic Signal
The monogenic signal is an image analysis methodology that was introduced by Felsberg and Sommer in 2001 and has been employed for a variety of purposes in image processing and computer vision research. In particular, it has been found to be useful in the analysis of ultrasound imagery in several research scenarios mostly in work done within the BioMedIA lab at Oxford. However, the literature on the monogenic signal can be difficult to penetrate due to the lack of a single resource to explain the various principles from basics. The purpose of this document is therefore to introduce the principles, purpose, applications, and limitations of the methodology. It assumes some background knowledge from the fields of image and signal processing, in particular a good knowledge of Fourier transforms as applied to signals and images. We will not attempt to provide a thorough math- ematical description or derivation of the monogenic signal, but rather focus on developing an intuition for understanding and using the methodology and refer the reader elsewhere for a more mathematical treatment.

Monogenic Wavelet Scattering Network for Texture Image Classification
The scattering transform network (STN), which has a similar structure as that of a popular convolutional neural network except its use of predefined convolution filters and a small number of layers, can generates a robus…

Detecting and analyzing directional structures in images is important in many applications since one-dimensional patterns often correspond to important features such as object contours or trajectories. Classifying a stru…
A Structurally Coherent Spatial Phase Estimate
The monogenic signal (MS) was introduced by Felsberg and Sommer, and independently by Larkin under the name vortex operator. It is a two-dimensional (2D) analog of the well-known analytic signal, and allows for direct am…
A Geometric Algebra Framework for a Multidimensional Analytic Signal
This work examines the problem of extending the one-dimensional analytic signal, which is ubiquitous throughout signal processing, to higher dimensional signals. Bulow et al. and Felsberg et al. have previously used tech…
