Video communication aiming at public switched telephone network (PSTN) applied with voice-band modem is attractive because of its low-cost facilities and the wide coverage of PSTN around the world. The key technique of video transmission over PSTN with voice-band modem is very low bit-rate video coding. Video coding based on discrete wavelet transform has become a hot research topic. But while in very low bit-rate video coding applications, the peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR) and the visual quality of image reconstructions are not very satisfactory by using the general orthogonal or biorthogonal wavelet which does not match well with human visual system characteristics. In this paper, a new kind of compact biorthogonal wavelet based on the modulation transfer function for human visual system model is used in very low bit-rate video coding scheme, in which a new improved Goh's three dimension wavelet transform and motion compensation technique are applied. The experimental results indicate that the new coding scheme using the constructed compact biorthogonal wavelet has a good performance in average PSNR, compression ratios and visual quality of image reconstructions when compared to the other motion-compensated two dimension and three dimension coding schemes based on the general biothogonal wavelet transform.

Recently, medical computed tomography (CT) began a transition from fan-beam to cone-beam geometry with the introduction of multi-row-detector systems. Therefore, cone-beam techniques become important for medical CT. Despite recent advances, the approximate reconstruction method of Feldkamp remains the most commonly employed cone-beam reconstruction algorithm because of its computational efficiency and clinical applicability. Unfortunately, the derivation of the Feldkamp cone-beam reconstruction formula is based on geometric tilted fan heuristic. In this paper, we give a wavelet derivation of the Feldkamp cone-beam reconstruction method. It is found that the Feldkamp algorithm is an outcome of a zero-order approximation to the longitudinal wavelet decomposition of the object function to be reconstructed. Since the approximation is explicitly given, error estimates can be derived analytically. Theoretically, it also arises the possibility of improvement of the Feldkamp cone-beam algorithm.

In this paper, a robust image hashing framework is proposed using image normalization, discrete wavelet transform and singular value decomposition. The stressed motive of the proposed scheme is to obtain a randomize hash sequence which can be used for image authentication and database search. For this purpose, the image is first normalized followed by hash generation in the wavelet domain utilizing the properties of singular value decomposition (SVD). Experimental evaluations demonstrate that the proposed scheme is providing the better robustness and security.

The statistics of photographic images, when decomposed in a multiscale wavelet basis, exhibit striking nonGaussian behaviors. The joint densities of dusters of wavelet coefficients (corresponding to basis functions at nearby spatial positions, orientations and scales) are well-described as a Gaussian scale mixture: a jointly Gaussian vector multiplied by a hidden scaling variable. We develop a maximum likelihood solution for estimating the hidden variable from an observation of the cluster of coefficients contaminated by additive Gaussian noise. The estimated hidden variable is then used to estimate the original noise-free coefficients. We demonstrate the power of this model through numerical simulations of image denoising.

wavelet transforms have proven to be useful tools for several applications, including signal analysis, signal compression and numerical analysis. This paper surveys the VLSI architectures that have been proposed for computing the Discrete and Continuous wavelet Transforms for I-D and 2-D signals. The architectures are based upon on-line versions of the wavelet transform algorithms. These architectures support single chip implementations and are optimal with respect to both area and time under the word-serial model.

An adaptive multiscale wavelet collocation method [1] is applied to analyze the attenuation and dispersion of a monopulse in layered and lossy media. From numerical results, it is found that sufficient resolution can be provided in the solution's regions where large gradients and dramatic fluctuation occur. The new wavelet method can thus be regarded as an excellent algorithm for a wave equation's solution with large gradients and dramatic fluctuation.

In recent years wavelet have had an important impact on signalprocessing theory and practice. The effectiveness of wavelets is mainly due to their capability of representing piecewise smooth signals with few non-zero coefficients. Away from discontinuities, the inner product between a wavelet (with a number of zero moments) and a smooth function will be either zero or very small.(8) At singular points, a finite number of wavelets concentrated around the discontinuity lead to non-zero inner products. This ability of wavelet transform to pack the main signal information in few large coefficients is behind the success of wavelet based denoising algorithms. Indeed, traditional approaches simply consist in thresholding the noisy wavelet coefficients, so the few large coefficients carrying the essential information are usually kept while small coefficients mainly containing noise are cancelled. However, wavelet denoising suffers of two main drawbacks: it is not shift-invariant and it exhibits pseudo Gibbs phenomenon around discontinuities. In this work, we present a new denoising algorithm which does not present the pseudo Gibbs phenomenon and which is almost shift-invariant even if we do not use a frame expansion. In our analysis we focus on piecewise polynomial functions. For this class of signals we know that, if wavelets have enough vanishing moments, away from discontinuities the wavelet coefficients are exactly zero. Moreover the wavelet coefficients generated by a discontinuity are highly dependent across scales. Therefore, a good denoising algorithm should take advantage of this dependency. We thus introduce the notion of footprints, which are the traces left, by time domain singularities in the wavelet domain. So a footprint is a vector containing all the significant wavelet coefficients generated by a singularity. In our denoising algorithm instead of thresholding the noisy wavelet coefficients independently as in traditional approaches (scalar thresholding), w

We consider the design of synthesis filters in noisy filter bank systems using an exponential-quadratic criterion. We assume that the analysis filters have been designed to achieve good coding of the input signal. Then we design the synthesis filters to minimize reconstruction error according to the adopted criterion. When the synthesis filters are restricted to be FIR, the design can be cast as a constrained analytic centering problem. To this end, we first employ standard state-space techniques to obtain a set of H-infinity optimal FIR synthesis filters. Among these, we select the so-called risk-sensitive (or minimum entropy) synthesis filters by additionally minimizing exponential-quadratic cost function. We provide numerical example to illustrate the procedure.

A new statistical model for characterizing texture images based on wavelet-domain hidden Markov models and steerable pyramids is presented. The new model is shown to capture well both the subband marginal distributions and the dependencies across scales and orientations of the wavelet descriptors. Once it is trained for an input texture image, the model can be easily steered to characterize that texture at any other orientations. After a diagonalization operation, one obtains a rotation-invariant description of the texture image. The effectiveness of the new model is demonstrated in large test image databases where significant gains in retrieval performance are shown.

We introduce in this paper the notion of wavelet-Karhunen-Loeve transform (WT-KLT) and apply it to the problem of noise removal. Decorrelating first the data in the spatial domain using the WT and afterwards using the KLT in spectral domain allows us to derive a robust noise modeling in the WT-KLT space, and hence to filter the transformed data in an efficient way. Experiments are performed in order to derive (i) the best way to calculate the covariance matrix in the case of noisy data, (ii) the best method to correct the noisy WT-KLT coefficients. Finally we investigate if the curvelet transform could be an alternative to the wavelet transform for color image filtering.
