The Radon transform is an shape representation. Similar to Fourier analysis, effective method for representing line singularities wavelet analysis represents and approximates signals in images [3].

Then, by applying a wavelet transform to the results of the Radon transform, an image representation is produced that is potentially sparse and enables many image processing techniques to be applied. Mathematically, the Radon transform in a domain > is the integral along the plane (represented as the dash line in 2D), which is perpendicular to a line at angle α , as illustrated in Fig. 5.
