This paper develops new algorithms for adapted multiscale analysis and signal adaptive wavelet transforms. We construct our adaptive transforms with the lifting scheme, which decomposes the wavelet transform into prediction and update stages. We adapt the prediction stage to the signal structure and design the update stage to preserve the desirable properties of the wavelet transform. The resulting scale and spatially adaptive transforms are extended to the image estimation problem;our new image transforms show improved denoising performance over existing (non-adaptive) orthogonal transforms.

A scheme for extracting morphological information from images through a edge oriented wavelet decomposition is proposed. Multiresolution edge patterns extracted in the wavelet transform domain are represented by parameterized segments. Tracking these segments across consecutive frames of a sequence leads to a parametric cynematic echaracterization of the content of a video sequence, suited for high level syntactic processing.. Parameterized images are visualizable by means of the inverse wavelet transform.

We discover a new relationship between two seemingly different image modeling methodologies;the Besov space theory and the wavelet-domain statistical image models. Besov spaces characterize the set of real-world images through a deterministic characterization of the image smoothness, while statistical image models capture the probabilistic properties of images. By establishing a relationship between the Besov norm and the normalized likelihood function under an independent wavelet domain generalized Gaussian model, we obtain a new interpretation of the Besov norm which provides a natural generalization of the theory for practical imageprocessing. Based on this new interpretation of the Besov space, we propose a new image denoising algorithm based on projections onto the convex sets defined in the Besov space: After pointing out the limitations of Besov spaces, we propose possible generalizations using more accurate image models.

We propose wavelet ANOVA, a simple general-purpose statistical method for analysis of signals and images. We emphasize the application of the method to functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). wavelet ANOVA combines the false discovery rate (FDR) approach to multiple comparisons with block wavelet thresholding and linear statistical models. We discuss the relationship of wavelet ANOVA to a similar method of Ruttimann, et al. We illustrate the application of wavelet ANOVA to analysis of an fMRI data set.

In this paper, a new prediction based method, predictive depth coding (PDC), for lossy waveletimage compression is presented. It compresses a wavelet pyramid composition by predicting the number of significant bits in each wavelet coefficient quantized by the universal scaler quantization and then by coding the prediction error with arithmetic coding. The adaptively found linear prediction context covers spatial neighbors of the coefficient to be predicted and the corresponding coefficients on lower scale and in the different orientation pyramids. In addition to the number of significant bits, the sign and the bits of non-sere coefficients are coded, The compression method is tested with a standard set of images and the results are compared with SFQ, SPIHT, EZW and context based algorithms. Even though the algorithm is very simple and it does not require any extra memory, the compression results are relatively good.

This paper discusses the utility of scale-angle continuous wavelet transform (CWT) features for object classification. Theses features are used as input to two algorithms: character recognition and target recognition in FLIR images. The corresponding recognition algorithm is robust against noise and allows data reduction. A comparative study is made between two types of directional wavelets derived from the Mexican hat wavelet and the usual template matching.

wavelet threshold algorithms replace wavelet coefficients with small magnitude by zero and keep or shrink the other coefficients. This is basically a local procedure, since wavelet coefficients characterize the local regularity of a function. Although a wavelet transform has decorrelating properties, structures in images, like edges, are never decorrelated completely, and these structures appear in the wavelet coefficients. We therefore introduce a geometrical prior model for configurations of large wavelet coefficients and combine this with the local characterization da classical threshold procedure into a Bayesian framework. The threshold procedure selects the large coefficients in the actual image. This observed configuration enters the prior model, which, Pry itself, only describes configurations, not coefficient values. In this way, we can compute for each coefficient the probability of being "sufficiently clean".

In this paper, we propose a new algorithm for extracting a non smooth shape from its noisy observation. The key ideal is to project the noisy shape onto a set of orthogonal subspaces at different resolutions, and construct scale space representation gleaned from the locally smoothed shape. Using the curvature we proceed to filter the high resolution scale subspace by projecting it onto the scale which is in turn used for the reconstruction. Inspired by the conjugate mirror filter and the wavelet decomposition synergy, we propose a curvature based filter operating at different scales and with minimal knowledge about the noise statistics.

The problem we are interested in is the restoration of nuclear medicine images acquired by a gamma camera. In a previous paper(1) the authors have developed a wavelet, based filtering method enabling to remove one of the major sources of error in nuclear medicine, namely Poisson noise. The purpose of this paper is to show how the restoration algorithm has been improved by introducing the point spread function as additional constraint in the restoration of the wavelet coefficients and choosing the regularization constraint in the object space. We describe a new restoration algorithm where filtering and deconvolution are coupled in a multiresolution frame. The performances are illustrated with simulated data and phantom images.
