Two undecimated forms of the Dual Tree Complex wavelet Transform (DT-CWT) are introduced together with their application to image denoising and robust feature extraction. These undecimated transforms extend the DT-CWT through the removal of downsampling of filter outputs together with upsampling of the complex filter pairs in a similar structure to the Undecimated Discrete wavelet Transform (UDWT). Both developed transforms offer exact translational invariance, improved scale-to-scale coefficient correlation together with the directional selectivity of the DT-CWT. Additionally, within each developed transform, the subbands are of a consistent size. They therefore benefit from a direct one-to-one relationship between co-located coefficients at all scales and therefore this offers consistent phase relationships across scales. These advantages can be exploited within applications such as denoising, image fusion, segmentation and robust feature extraction. The results of two example applications (bivariate shrinkage denoising and robust feature extraction) demonstrate objective and subjective improvements over the DT-CWT. The two novel transforms together with the DT-CWT offer a trade-off between denoising performance, computational efficiency and memory requirements. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.v. All rights reserved.

We develop a novel measure of joint time-frequency localization applicable to equivalence classes of finite-length discrete signals, which are of increasing importance in modern signal and imageprocessingapplications. Like the well-known Heisenberg-Weyl uncertainty principle that quantifies joint localization for continuous signals, this new measure is translation invariant and admits an intuitively satisfying interpretation in terms of the statistical variance of signal energy in time or space and in frequency. The new measure is used to design a now low-pass wavelet analysis filter with optimal joint localization. This new filter is then used to construct a localized separable 2-D discrete wavelet transform which is demonstrated on several images of general interest in practical applications.

Steganography conceals the secret information inside the cover medium. There are two types of steganography techniques available practically. They are spatial domain steganography and Transform domain steganography. The objectives to be considered in the steganography methods are high capacity, imperceptibility and robustness. In this paper, a Color image steganography in transform domain is proposed. Reversible Integer Haar wavelet transform is applied to the R, G and B planes separately and the data is embedded in a random manner. Random selection of wavelet coefficients is based on the graph theory. This proposed system uses three different keys for embedding and extraction of the secret data, where key1(Subband Selection - SB) is used to select the wavelet subband for embedding, key2(Selection of Co-effecients-SC) is used to select the co-efficients randomly and key3 (Selection of Bit length-SB) is used to select the number of bits to be embedded in the selected co-efficients. This method shows good imperceptibility, High capacity and Robustness.

waveletsignalprocessing has demonstrated remarkable capabilities in reducing noise, achieving better resolution through edge detection and increasing data transmission by means of data compression. While wavelets are digital, another field, Optical Phase Conjugation (OPC), is analog and has been applied to similar problems: signal and image distortion reduction and optical data storage. wavelets have been applied to optical solitons, laser beam diagnostics, diode laser arrays, interferometry and optical correlators. waveletsignalprocessing will be applied to Optical Phase Conjugation to examine laser beam interaction in nonlinear crystals and remove distortion from input and output laser beams.

In image watermarking, hybrid approaches increase imperceptibility and robustness. Also, a scaling factor is used, which should be optimized when combining the cover image and watermark. In this study, discrete wavelet transform and discrete cosine transform (DCT) were used together. The watermark-edge image was obtained by randomly inserting the watermark on the horizontal, vertical and diagonal edge points of the cover image detected with Sobel. The DCT frequency components of the watermark-edge image were weighted with a generated matrix and combined with the DCT of the cover image. According to the obtained results, the proposed method is imperceptible and robust to various attacks, especially JPEG compression and noise attacks.

A novel technique for image enhancement based on a multiscale pyramid is presented. It generalizes classical edge-oriented wavelet based enhancement technique by employing multiple wavelets features. visually relevant features are amplified in the wavelet domain according to a pointwise multiscale product. The use of complex in phase-quadrature wavelets allows to emphasize anyway oriented features.

This paper addresses the image denoising problem using a newly proposed digital image transform: the finite ridgelet transform (FRIT). The transform is invertible, non-redundant and achieved via fast algorithms. Furthermore this transform can be designed to be orthonormal thus indicating its potential in many other imageprocessingapplications. We then propose various improvements on the initial design of the FRIT in order to make it to have better energy compaction and to reduce the border effect. Experimental results show that the new transform outperforms wavelets in denoising images with linear discontinuities.

The growth of the Internet has increased the phenomenon of digital piracy, in multimedia objects, like software, image, video, audio and text. Therefore it is strategic to individualize and to develop methods and numerical algorithms, which are stable and have low computational cost, that will allow us to find a solution to these problems. We describe a digital watermarking algorithm for color image protection and authenticity: robust, not blind, and wavelet-based. The use of Discrete wavelet Transform is motivated by good time-frequency features and a good match with Human visual System directives. These two combined elements are important for building an invisible and robust watermark. Moreover our algorithm can work with my image, thanks to the step of pre-processing of the image that includes resize techniques that adapt to the size of the original image for wavelet transform. The watermark signal is calculated in correlation with the image features and statistic properties. In the detection step we apply a re-synchronization between the original and watermarked image according to the Neyman-Pearson statistic criterion. Experimentation on a large set of different images has been shown to be resistant against geometric, filtering, and StirMark attacks with a low rate of false alarm. (C) 2007 Elsevier B.v.

Complex wavelet structural similarity (CW-SSIM) index has been recognized as a novel image similarity measure of broad potential applications due to its robustness to small geometric distortions such as translation, scaling and rotation of images. Nevertheless, how to make the best use of it in image classification problems has not been deeply investigated. In this paper, we introduce a series of novel image classification algorithms based on CW-SSIM and use handwritten digit recognition, and face recognition as examples for demonstration. Among the proposed approaches, the best compromise between accuracy and complexity is obtained by the CW-SSIM support vector machine based algorithms, which combines an unsupervised clustering method to divide the training images into clusters with representative images and a supervised learning method based on support vector machines to maximize the classification accuracy. Our experiments show that such a conceptually simple image classification method, which does not involve any registration, intensity normalization or sophisticated feature extraction processes, and does not rely on any modeling of the image patterns or distortion processes, achieves competitive performance with reduced computational cost.
