High resolution images are nowadays a common source of data for many different applications;let us consider, for instance, hyperspectral images for remote sensing and geographic information systems. This kind of images allows for exhaustive analysis and provides good classification performance due to their high resolution (either bits per pixel, spatial, or spectral resolution). Nevertheless, this same high resolution, as well as their huge size, imposes a large demand of memory capability and channel bandwidth. To deal with this problem, lossy encoding of such images may be devised. Well known lossless and lossy image coding techniques have been used, but remote sensing and geographic information systems applications have some particular requirements that are not taken into account by the classical methods. There is therefore a need to investigate new approaches of image coding for these applications.

This paper presents a new scalable and highly flexible color image coder based on a Matching Pursuit expansion. The Matching Pursuit algorithm provides an intrinsically progressive stream and the proposed coder allows us to reconstruct color information from the first bit received. In order to efficiently capture edges in natural images, the dictionary of atoms is built by translation, rotation and anisotropic refinement of a wavelet-like mother function. This dictionary is moreover invariant under shifts and isotropic scaling, thus leading to very simple spatial resizing operations. This flexibility and adaptivity of the MP coder makes it appropriate for asymmetric applications with heterogeneous end user terminals.
A statistical signalprocessing approach to multisensor image fusion is presented. This approach is based on an image formation model in which the sensor images are described as the true scene corrupted by additive no...

Belt filter presses represent an economical means to dewater the residual sludge generated in wastewater treatment plants. In order to assure maximal water removal, the raw sludge is mixed with a chemical conditioner prior to being fed into the belt filter press. When the conditioner is properly dosed, the sludge acquires a coarse texture, with space between flocs. This information was exploited for the development of a software sensor, where digital images are the input signal, and the output is a numeric value proportional to the dewatered sludge dry content. Three families of features were used to characterize the textures. Gabor filtering, wavelet decomposition and co-occurrence matrix computation were the techniques used. A database of images, ordered by their corresponding dry contents, was used to calibrate the model that calculates the sensor output. The images were separated in groups that correspond to single experimental sessions. With the calibrated model, all images were correctly ranked within an experiment session. The results were very similar regardless of the family of features used. The output can be fed to a control system, or, in the case of fixed experiment conditions, it can be used to directly estimate the dewatered sludge dry content.

wavelet Transform has attracted much of the research attention for its ability to analyse rapidly changing transient signals. Any application using the Fourier Transform can be formulated using wavelet Transform. Like Fourier Analysis, wavelet Analysis deals with expansion of functions in terms of a set of Basis Functions. But unlike Fourier Transform, wavelet Transform expands the functions in terms of wavelets, which are generated by translation and dilation of a fixed function called the Mother wavelet. The wavelets obtained in this way have got special scaling properties. These have got incredible versatility of applications in pattern recognition, transient signal analysis and imageprocessing. The present work deals with the mathematical formulation of wavelet Transform Algorithm and design of its signal flow graph. The flow graph has been designed keeping in view its application to the parallel processing domain. The mathematical treatment of the wavelet Transform Algorithm has been carried out for Filter Analysis. The computational complexity has been estimated in single processor environment. The paper has made an attempt to formalise the wavelet Transform for Parallel processing Environment. In this paper, the flow graph of the wavelet Transform has been analysed and modelled on Star Graph Architecture. The decomposition and ordering has been computed for efficient execution of the algorithm. The necessary theory has been developed for mapping the Task Assignment Graph to the processing Nodes of Star Graph. The general mathematical formulation has been generated for a varying complexity wavelet with a variable node Star Graph. Various performance parameters like Speedup, Efficiency and Cost Effectiveness have been computed. The results are given as various closed form formulae.

The discrete wavelet transform provides sufficient information both for analysis and synthesis of the original image with a significant reduction in the computation time. There are two approaches for working on the above algorithm, one being by using two dimensional filters and the other one by using separable transforms that can be implemented using one-dimensional filter on the rows first and then on the columns. In this research, we have implemented wavelet decomposition and reconstruction-using one-dimensional transform applied on the rows first and then the columns. For an N×M image size, we filter each row and then columns withr the analysis pair of low-pass and high-pass filters and down sample successively to obtain four bands after decomposition. Later during image reconstruction, we up sample and filter each column and then rows with pair of synthesis low pass and high pass filters to obtain the original image size. This algorithm has been implemented in real-time by using the floating-point processor TMS320C6701 chip manufactured by Texas Instruments (TI) that is widely used for imageprocessingapplications. The wavelet transform has become the most powerful tool for still image analysis. Yet there are many, parameters within a wavelet analysis and synthesis that govern the quality of the image. In this paper, we discuss the wavelet decomposition and reconstruction strategies for a two-dimensional signal and their implications on the reconstruction of the image. A pool of grey scale image has been wavelet transformed using a set of bi-orthogonal filters (wavelet filter bank) that undergoes the decomposition and reconstruction process.
A multi-resolution representation through wavelet transform has proved to be beneficial for many signalprocessingapplications. For example, Morlet wavelet has shown good performance in tasks like audio coding and im...

The new Motion JPEG 2000 standard is providing with some compelling features. It is based on an intra-frame wavelet coding. which makes it very well suited for wireless applications. Indeed, the state-of-the-art wavelet coding scheme achieves very high coding efficiency. In addition, Motion JPEG 2000 is very resilient to transmission errors as frames are coded independently (intra coding). Furthermore, it requires low complexity and introduces minimal coding delay. Finally, it supports very efficient scalability. In this paper, we analyze the performance of Motion JPEG 2000 in error-prone transmission. We compare it to the well-known MPEG-4 video coding scheme, in terms of coding efficiency, error resilience and complexity. We present experimental results which show that Motion JPEG 2000 outperforms MPEG-4 in the presence of transmission errors.
