This paper describes an optimization framework for reconstructing nonnegative image intensities from linear projections contaminated with Poisson noise. Such Poisson inverse problems arise in a variety of applications, ranging from medical imaging to astronomy. A total variation regularization term is used to counter the ill-posedness of the inverse problem and results in reconstructions that are piece-wise smooth. The proposed algorithm sequentially approximates the objective function with a regularized quadratic surrogate which can easily be minimized. Unlike alternative methods, this approach ensures that the natural nonnegativity constraints are satisfied without placing prohibitive restrictions on the nature of the linear projections to ensure computational tractability. The resulting algorithm is computationally efficient and outperforms similar methods using wavelet-sparsity or partition-based regularization.
With the rise of mobile media devices, resizing an image or video to fit a screen of arbitrary size has become an important topic. In general, arbitrary resizing does not preserve the original image aspect ratio, and ...

As an efficient tool for image compression, wavelet has been widely used in all kinds of imageprocessing areas. Based on the different encoding effects, wavelet compression algorithms can be probably classified into two categories. They are the embedded wavelet coding algorithms and the non-embedded wavelet coding algorithms. For the convenience of producing the anytime cut coding stream and the progressing reconstruction results, the embedded wavelet coding algorithms have been paid more attention in practice. Such as the embedded wavelet coding algorithms, EZW and SPIHT are the outstanding representatives. The only drawback for this wavelet based embedded coding algorithms is the choice of the different wavelet transform base. We propose a novel embedded coding algorithm based on the reconstructed DCT coefficient to avoid the difficulties brought by the choice of wavelet transform base in this paper. The new algorithm's efficiency can be seen from the experimental results.

In this paper, a novel DWT-SVD perceptual fidelity metric for the evaluation of watermarking schemes is introduced. The proposed metric is based on a widely used Human Visual Model in the Discrete wavelet Transform domain accounting for the frequency sensitivity, and the local luminance and contrast masking effects of the human eye. A relationship between the visual model in the DWT domain and the modification of the wavelet coefficients's singular values is derived. The proposed metric is validated through subjective assessment and its performance is compared to several state-of-the-art perceptual image distortion metrics. The paper focus on image Adaptive Watermarking methods in the Discrete wavelet Transform Domain since they yield better results regarding robustness and transparency than other watermarking schemes.
