Function-valued mappings in imaging
The concept of a function whose range is infinite dimensional has been studied by mathematicians since the third decade of the last century. Given this, nowadays there is a vast literature on how the classical results of real-valued functions carry over functions that assume values in a Banach space. Several fields have benefited from these contributions, among them partial differential equations, statistics and harmonic analysis. Surprisingly, the image processing community has barely explored the potential of these mathematical objects. In this talk we discuss how this type of functions, which we call function-valued mappings (FVMs), can be employed in an image processing context. In particular, we present a Fourier transform and a new class of fractal transforms for FVMs. Practical applications are also discussed.

The University of Waterloo acknowledges that much of our work takes place on the traditional territory of the Neutral, Anishinaabeg and Haudenosaunee peoples. Our main campus is situated on the Haldimand Tract, the land granted to the Six Nations that includes six miles on each side of the Grand River. Our active work toward reconciliation takes place across our campuses through research, learning, teaching, and community building, and is centralized within our Office of Indigenous Relations.
