Transforms landing somewhere between wavelets and convnets which can encode some desirable invariances (translation, rotation), and multiple moments of a random field. This is not the same thing as scattering theory in physics, although presumably if I read deep enough I will find that the scattering transforms are named for scattering theory.
More than that I do not know. The original authors do, though; (Bruna and Mallat 2013; Mallat 2012). S. Cheng and Ménard (2021) summarises some recent research in scattering transforms.
Interesting applications
