Original image Fingerprint

Non-linear approximation using the standard wavelet transform and retaining 0.5% coefficients. PSNR = 18.68dB




Non-linear approximation using directionlets and retaining the same number (0.5%) coefficients. PSNR = 19.23dB. In addition, the artifacts have the same orientation as the local dominant orientations across the image and are thus less visually annoying
