First, a general procedure for constructing a variety of orthogonal wavelets which are compactly supported in frequency domain is presented. These orthogonal wavelets, as a result of the method of Multiresolution Analysis(MRA), share the same space structure. This property makes it possible to construct a ''combined'' orthonormal base of L-2(R) which contains more than one wavelet functions. This kind of combined orthonormal wavelet bases are more flexible and are expected to be more efficient than the conventional wavelet bases in data compression, speech coding and image coding.

In this paper speckle reduction is approached as a Wiener-like filtering performed in the wavelet domain by means of an adaptive shrinkage of the detail coefficients of an undecimated decomposition. The amplitude of each coefficient is divided by the variance ratio of the noisy coefficient to the noise-free one. All the above quantities are analytically calculated from the speckled image, the speckle variance, and the wavelet filters. On the test image Lenna corrupted by synthetic speckle, the proposed method outperforms Kuan's LLMMSE filtering by almost 3 dB SNR. Experiments carried out on true and synthetic speckled images demonstrate that the visual quality of the results is excellent in terms of both background smoothing and preservation of edge sharpness and textures. The absence of decimation in the wavelet decomposition avoids the typical ringing impairments produced by critically-subsampled wavelet-based denoising.

Hidden Markov models have been used in a wide variety of wavelet-based statistical signalprocessingapplications. Typically, Gaussian mixture distributions are used to model the wavelet coefficients and the correlation between the magnitudes of the wavelet coefficients within each scale and/or across the scales is captured by a Markov tree imposed on the (hidden) states of the mixture. This paper investigates correlations directly among the wavelet coefficient amplitudes (sign x magnitude), instead of magnitudes alone. Our theoretical analysis shows that the coefficients display significant correlations in sign as well as magnitude, especially near strong edges. We propose a new wavelet-based HMM structure based on mixtures of one-sided exponential densities that exploits both sign and magnitude correlations. We also investigate the application of this for denoising the signals corrupted by additive white Gaussian noise. Using some examples with standard test signals, we show that our new method can achieve better mean squared error, and the resulting denoised signals are generally much smoother.

Efficient image watermarking techniques have been developed in the wavelet domain. Similar to other wavelet-based imageprocessing, the choice of wavelet filters generally affects the performance of a wavelet-based watermarking system. In this paper, we evaluate the performance of a set of biorthogonal integer wavelets under a multiresolution-watermarking framework. Biorthogonal integer wavelets have been extensively used for imageapplications because they possess the linear-phase property and can be efficiently implemented. We find that the widely adopted 9/7-F wavelet achieves the best robustness performance. Further investigation is conducted to show that the superiority of the 9/7-F wavelet is primarily owing to its being nearly orthogonal.

Combined use of the X-ray (Radon) transform and the wavelet transform has proved to be useful in application areas such as diagnostic medicine and seismology. In the present paper, the wavelet X-ray transform is introduced. This transform performs one-dimensional wavelet transforms along lines in R-n, which are parameterized in the same fashion as for the X-ray transform. It is shown that the transform has the same convenient inversion properties as the wavelet transform. The reconstruction formula receives further attention in order to obtain usable discretizations of the transform. Finally, a connection between the wavelet X-ray transform and the filtered backprojection formula is discussed.

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.

The optics of satellite cameras as well as the satellite movement create a blurring effect to which is added a noise due to the electronics of the CCD captors. We introduce a deconvolution algorithm which is regularized with a hard thresholding technic, in a wavelet frame. The restoration procedure is fast and provides good metrical and perceptual results.

Integer based-matrix algorithms for discrete Haar transform (DHT) and discrete wavelet transform (DWT) are proposed with relation to the multiresolution representation (MRR). A recursive wavelet transform technique is used with a view to demonstrating simply lossy reconstructed images in contrast to an original image under the specified resolution size. A visual effect of reconstructed images with differnt appearance and image quality, caused by modifying or throwing away a part of the 2-D HT or WT coefficients, is discussed with a measure of quantitative evaluation such as similarity and/or modified similarity, and fidelity RMSE and/or PSNR.
