Recently, novel quaternion-valued wavelets on the plane were constructed using an optimisation approach. These wavelets are compactly supported, smooth, orthonormal, non-separable and truly quaternionic. However, they have not been tested in application. In this paper, we introduce a methodology for decomposing and reconstructing colour images using quaternionic wavelet filters associated to recently developed quaternion-valued wavelets on the plane. We investigate its applicability in compression, enhancement, segmentation, and denoising of colour images. Our results demonstrate these wavelets as promising tools for an end-to-end quaternion processing of colour images. |
