Underwater images are important in marine science and ocean engineering fields owing to giving color information, low cost, and compact. Yet obtained underwater images are often degraded and restoring and enhancing wavelength selective signal attenuation of underwater images depending on complex underwater physical process is essential in practical application. While recently developed deep learning is a promising choice, constructing sufficiently large dataset covering whole real images is challenging, peculiar to underwater imageprocessing. In order to supplement relatively small dataset, previous studies alternatively construct an artificial underwater image dataset based on a physical model or Generative Adversarial Network. Also, incorporating traditional signalprocessing methods into the network architecture has shown promising success, though enhancement of severely degraded underwater images remains to be a big issue. In this paper, we tackle underwater image enhancement based on an encoder-decoder based deep learning model incorporating discrete wavelet transform and whitening and coloring transform. We also construct a severely degraded real underwater image dataset. The presented model shows excellent results both qualitatively and quantitatively in the artificial and real image dataset. Constructed dataset is available at https://***/tkswalk/2022-IJACSA.

In time-frequency analysis, generalization of S-transform (ST) is known as fractional S-transform. Recently, fractional S-transform (FrST) has played an important role in the area of signal and imageprocessing. The ST is a hybrid of wavelet, and short time Fourier transform. In this paper, the definition, properties and applications areas of ST and FrST are focused. The aim of this survey is to study ST and FrST, formats, properties, applications, and open issues to encourage further research in the fields of digital signalprocessing (DSP) and other applications area of engineering. In this article, firstly the several transforms that are related to ST as well as FrST are described and in the second part, comprehensive and exhaustive facts on the use of S-transform reviews and FrST in the area of DSP are enlightened. This transform technique is used for detection of LFM signal in the presence of echo.

This work presents a blind and robust scheme using YCbCr color space, IWT (integer wavelet transform) and DCT (discrete cosine transform) for color image watermarking. During watermark insertion, Y channel is divided into blocks and Mersenne Twister random number generator is used to select the blocks for embedding. This randomized selection of blocks required a secret key, thus improving the security of the scheme. To reduce the computational complexity, the artificial neural network architecture is developed for watermark embedding. To check the robustness, several signalprocessing attacks such as JPEG compression, filtering attacks, noise attacks, cropping, resizing and other common attacks are applied on the watermarked images. The proposed work is tested on different images to verify the similarity in watermarking results. The scheme provides similar results (having little variation) for different test images. Experimental results demonstrate the superior performance in terms of imperceptibility and robustness. Further, the ANN framework provides faster embedding with approximately similar parametric results. The performance comparison with existing schemes demonstrates better performance for different attacks. The proposed work can be used in robust applications (i.e. copyright protection) for efficient results and less computational time. (c) 2021 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

In the recent past there is a rapid development in the field of digital technology especially in signalprocessing and imageprocessing based applications Excellent performance high speed, compactable in size low power and less delay are the essential needs of the devices used for applications such as signalprocessing, audio processing and software define radio and so on. Particularly, digital gadgets are prone to have more critical logic size and power consumption and take large area in VLSI Implementation due to arithmetic operations of adders and multiplier designs. Thus priority architecture of Digital wavelet Transform (DWT) is affected as it comprises a number of Filter banks in level basics, thus all Filter banks have number of adders and multipliers due to coefficient decompositions of low and high pass filters. On this n-size repeated filter logic takes more logic size and power consumption. Here, the proposed work presents a novel approach of DWT by replacing conventional adders and multipliers with XOR-MUX adders and Truncations multipliers thereby reducing the 2n logic size to n-size logic, Finally, the proposed DWT architecture designed in VHDL and also implemented in FPGA XC6SLX9-2TQG144 proved the performance in terms of delay, area and power.

In this paper a new approach for designing invisible non-blind full crypto-watermarking system targeting images security on FPGA platform is presented. This new design is based on the Hardware-Software co-design approach using the High-Level Synthesis (HLS) tool of Xilinx which allows a good compromise between development time and performances. For a better authentication and robustness of the proposed system, the Discrete wavelet Transform (DWT) is employed. To more enhance the security level, a new chaos-based generator proposed is integrated into a stream cipher algorithm in order to encrypt and decrypt the watermark during the insertion and extraction *** approach allows a better secure access at the positions of the watermark and to distribute the watermark evenly throughout the image. Three novel customized Intellectual Property (IP) cores designed under HLS tool, implementing Haar DWT and the new chaos-based key generator, have been generated, tested, and validated. The generated Register Transfer Level-IP (RTL-IP) cores are integrated into a Vivado library that achieves real-time secured watermarking operations for both embedding and extraction processes. The system has been evaluated using the main metrics in terms of imperceptibility of the produced watermarked images achieving a Peak signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR) of 47 dB, robustness against most geometric and imageprocessing attacks achieving a Normalized Cross-Correlation (NCC) of 0.99. The proposed crypt-watermarking system allows a good solution against brute force attack which produce a huge key-space of 2768. Finally, the implementation offers a good efficiency value of 0.19 MHz/LUT in terms of FPGA resource consumption and speed, making the system a reliable choice for real sensitive embedded applications.

With the rapid growth of technology and the proliferation of data in this digital age, current image and audio applications require greater resolution, higher data transmission rates and better data compression techniques to meet the ever increasing demands placed on them. The research presented here investigates the impact of data compression in the automatic recognition of handwritten digit images and spoken digit audio. A Haar wavelet transform (HWT) is used to compress the original image and audio data, which is input to an artificial neural network (ANN) where the automatic digit recognition is performed. The HWT generates a signature, or fingerprint, for the data by removing redundant data using a cut-off function, a number of which are investigated. This reduced data signature enables the ANN-based recogniser to be simplified and computationally more efficient. Experimental results show that for handwritten digit images, the recognition accuracy is 94.3% with compression ratios of 80%;for spoken audio digits, the recognition accuracy is 98.8% with compression ratios of 82%.

We present in this paper a modified structure of a polynomial spline wavelet transform based on adaptive directional lifting for image compression. The proposed method not only uses the polynomial splines as a tool for the construction of the appropriate filters seeing its efficiency as compared to other filters like the biorthogonal 9/7, but also adapts far better to the image-orientation features by carrying out a lifting-based prediction in local windows in the direction of high pixel correlation. The main purpose of this article is then to integrate the coefficients calculated by the best spline filter order into the adaptive directional lifting. The new method is designed to further reduce the magnitude of the high-frequency wavelet coefficients and preserve the detailed information of the original images more effectively. The numerical results demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed approach over the traditional lifting-based spline wavelet transform and the adaptive directional lifting with respect to both objective and subjective criteria for image compression applications.

Using DWT-SVD and SHA3 Hash function, this research aims to develop an ownership protection and image authentication technique that embeds the watermark information and hash authentication key in a hybrid domain. The experiment was conducted with multispectral images from the KhalifaSat. The Performance of the proposed method is evaluated using wavelet domain signal to noise ratio (WSNR), structural similarity index measurement (SSIM) and peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR). To analyse the efficacy of the recovered watermark, two metrics are used: Normalized Correlation (NC) and image Quality Index (IQI). The method presented is robust against many intended and unintended attacks. Without sacrificing transparency, our proposed watermarking approach meets the objectives of imperceptibility and robustness. It accurately detects the manipulated locations on the satellite image and is sensitive to even small changes.

In image watermarking, hybrid approaches increase imperceptibility and robustness. Also, a scaling factor is used, which should be optimized when combining the cover image and watermark. In this study, discrete wavelet transform and discrete cosine transform (DCT) were used together. The watermark-edge image was obtained by randomly inserting the watermark on the horizontal, vertical and diagonal edge points of the cover image detected with Sobel. The DCT frequency components of the watermark-edge image were weighted with a generated matrix and combined with the DCT of the cover image. According to the obtained results, the proposed method is imperceptible and robust to various attacks, especially JPEG compression and noise attacks.
