The Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) is a new adaptive signal decomposition method, which is good at handling many real nonlinear and nonstationary one dimensional signals. It decomposes signals into a a series of Intrinsic Mode Functions (IMFs) that was shown having better behaved instantaneous frequencies via Hilbert transform (The EMD and Hilbert spectrum analysis together were called Hilbert-Huang Transform (HHT) which was proposed by N.E.Huang et at. in [5].). For the advanced applications in image analysis, the EMD was extended to the bidimensional EMD (BEMD). However, most of the existed BEMD algorithms are slow and have unsatisfied results. In this paper, we firstly proposed a new BEMD algorithm which is comparatively faster and better-performed. Then we use the Riesz transform to get the monogenic signals. The local features (amplitude, phase orientation, phase angle, etc) are evaluated. The simulation results are given in the experiments. ©2010 IEEE.
