Abstract
The aim of this paper is to study the robustness of the pointwise Lipschitz regularity in 2D, which is a measure of the local regularity of the intensity function associated to an image. This regularity can be efficiently computed by an approach based on fine scales. We assess its robustness when the image undergoes various transformations, especially geometric ones. The results we obtain show that the pointwise Lipschitz regularity is a suitable feature for applications in computer vision.
