Scale-covariant spiking wavelets
We establish a theoretical connection between wavelet transforms and spiking neural networks through scale-space theory. We rely on the scale-covariant guarantees in the leaky integrate-and-fire neurons to implement discrete mother wavelets that approximate continuous wavelets. A reconstruction experiment demonstrates the feasibility of the approach and warrants further analysis to mitigate current approximation errors. Our work suggests a novel spiking signal representation that could enable more energy-efficient signal processing algorithms.

Encoding and Decoding Temporal Signals with Spiking Bandpass Wavelets
Spike-based encodings are sparse and energy-efficient, but have largely been formulated probabilistically, disconnected from most signal processing literature. We recast spike encoders as time-causal wavelet frames with …
Covariant spatio-temporal receptive fields for spiking neural networks
Biological nervous systems constitute important sources of inspiration towards computers that are faster, cheaper, and more energy efficient. Neuromorphic disciplines view the brain as a coevolved system, simultaneously …
Event-based visionHomography from two orientation- and scale-covariant features
This paper proposes a geometric interpretation of the angles and scales which the orientation- and scale-covariant feature detectors, e.g. SIFT, provide. Two new general constraints are derived on the scales and rotation…

Wavelets are closely related to the Schr\"odinger's wave functions and the interpretation of Born. Similarly to the appearance of atomic orbital, it is proposed to combine anti-symmetric wavelets into orbital wavelets. T…
On The Continuous Steering of the Scale of Tight Wavelet Frames
In analogy with steerable wavelets, we present a general construction of adaptable tight wavelet frames, with an emphasis on scaling operations. In particular, the derived wavelets can be "dilated" by a procedure compara…
