We analyze the detection and classification of singularities of functions f = χB, where B ⊂ R d and d = 2, 3. It will be shown how the set ∂B can be extracted by a continuous shearlet transform associated with compactly supported shearlets. Furthermore, if ∂S is a d−1 dimensional piecewise smooth manifold with d = 2 or 3, we will classify smooth and non-smooth components of ∂S. This improves previous results given for shearlet systems with a certain band-limited generator, since the estimates we derive are uniform. Moreover, we will show that our bounds are optimal. Along the way, we also obtain novel results on the characterization of wavefront sets in 3 dimensions by compactly supported shearlets. Finally, geometric properties of ∂S such as curvature are described in terms of the continuous shearlet transform of f .
In REF the decay of a continuous shearlet transform with a compactly supported generator was analyzed.
