The present thesis deals with amplitude and sign decompositions of images via complex wavelets. We develop the monogenic curvelet transform for the directional decomposition of images into amplitude and sign. We use the amplitude information for the development and the analysis of an algorithm for the separation of edges in images, and the sign information for a new edge detection method. Eventually, we draw a connection between amplitude and sign representations and the perception of optical illusions.
