Rotation, Scaling and Deformation Invariant Scattering for Texture Discrimination ´ Laurent Sifre Stephane Mallat CMAP, Ecole Polytechnique DI, Ecole Normale Superieur 91128 Palaiseau 45 rue d’Ulm, 75005 Paris ∗ Abstract on three dimensional surfaces. Section 2 shows that within image patches, translations An affine invariant representation is constructed with a and rotation invariants must be computed together to retain cascade of invariants, which preserves information for clas- joint information on spatial positions and orientations.

A joint translation and rotation invariant repre- joint scattering invariant on the roto-translation group re- sentation of image patches is calculated with a scattering quires to build a wavelet transform on this non-commutative transform. It is implemented with a deep convolution net- group, which involves a different type of convolution de- work, which computes successive wavelet transforms and scribed in Section 3. A scaling invariant may however be modulus non-linearities. Invariants to scaling, shearing computed separately with a scale-space averaging across and small deformations are calculated with linear operators image patches. in the scattering domain.
