Billions of suitcases and other belongings are checked every year in airport X-ray systems around the world. This process is very important because it involves the detection of potentially dangerous objects such as firearms and explosives. However, the image quality of x-ray screening devices needed to be improved. This article attempts to make a contribution to the field of improving the radiographic image of luggage by proposing a complete procedure for improving the image quality based on discrete wavelet transform (DWT) image fusion followed by a noise suppression operation to obtain a good improvement of the fusion result. This article also presents a comparative analysis of five well-known image enhancement algorithm models, the evaluation is done using the Peak signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR). The results show that the proposed system provides promising results compared to the other techniques tested, which proves that the proposed approach is very appropriate and recommended for easy / fast identification of threatening objects in a manual or automatic manner.

Deconvolution in blind digital images is a common issue in image enhancement techniques, which basically was a notion of many researches. In this study, spatial varying blind deconvloution is stated and implemented. In addition, image noise removal approach which utilizes the normalized platform of second-generation wavelet transform is applied as pre-processing step. The low and high frequencies are decomposed in this step in order to be extracted. Practically, the main merit of wavelet transform is its efficiency in reduction of data redundancy in digital images. This feature helps a lot in terms of data classification where it is easy to distinguish the signal from its noisy counterpart. The second step, a recursive deep convolutional neural network (R-DbCNN) is implemented to suppress any image blur affected by second-generation wavelet transform to further remove the blur of noisy image. The experimental results depict that the suggested method outperforms recent blur removal techniques for different bluer image types in terms of image quality and time consumption.

Lifting wavelet Transform has a huge number of applications in image-processing techniques, it has been applied in field like image compression, fusion, de-noising, et al, but for large scale image, the algorithm is too slow to meet the real-time requirements. To solve this problem, this work proposed a parallel strategy based on GPU for 2-D lifting wavelet transform. Through the performance test and analysis, the proposed lifting scheme achieve considerable speedups compared with CPU version for the same image size.

Stress analysis and assessment of affective states of mind using ECG as a physiological signal is a burning research topic in biomedical signalprocessing. However, existing literature provides only binary assessment of stress, while multiple levels of assessment may be more beneficial for healthcare applications. Furthermore, in present research, ECG signal for stress analysis is examined independently in spatial domain or in transform domains but the advantage of fusing these domains has not been fully utilized. To get the maximum advantage of fusing different domains, we introduce a dataset with multiple stress levels and then classify these levels using a novel deep learning approach by converting ECG signal into signalimages based on R-R peaks without any feature extraction. Moreover, We made signalimages multimodal and multi-domain by converting them into time-frequency and frequency domain using Gabor wavelet transform (GWT) and Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) respectively. Convolutional Neural networks (CNNs) are used to extract features from different modalities and then decision level fusion is performed for improving the classification accuracy. The experimental results on an in-house dataset collected with 15 users show that with proposed fusion framework and using ECG signal to image conversion, we reach an average accuracy of 85.45%.

Due to the imperfect physical arrangement of camera sensors, spectral bands of ground observation satellite images are usually shifted relative to each other. In order to address this issue, we propose a computationally simple band registration method which is based on Dynamic Time Warping (DTW) and Discrete wavelet Transform (DWT) algorithms. This method has been tested on 10 frames of GOKTURK-2 images and compared to a Scale-Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT) based method. In terms of quality, the proposed method have yielded very close results compared to SIFT.

imageprocessing has gained an increased usage and impact in modern pavement networks automatic distress severity classification (DSC). DSC defines priorities and maintenance resources optimum allocation in order to achieve a cost-effective rehabilitation process. This paper presents a novel computer vision algorithm having the ability to process, isolate and evaluate the distress severity level of a pavement. A pavement color image is converted to grayscale and then processed for image denoising of the granularity and complex texture that represent and artifact in cracks edge detection. The processing is achieved by a 2D dual-tree double density wavelet transform filter banks that significantly reduces the granularity noise while preserving the pavement cracks for edge detection. The 2D wavelet FIR filters perform analysis, soft thresholding then a synthesis of the image. The second step is then an edge detection process followed by morphological filtering and labeled components size-histogram filter to isolate false edges as residuals of denoising. A final step is performed by two Savitzky-Golay filters for the detection of longitudinal and transverse alligator cracks projections. A weighted score function with multiple parameters is used for DSC.

Nowadays, fault detection in induction motors has gained importance. Motor health monitoring is performed to diagnose their operating condition using vibration signals. These signals are processed using different signalprocessing methods to extract the characteristic parameters permitting localization of the fault. In this paper, we propose a diagnostic method based on Hilbert and Discrete wavelet Transforms for the detection of bearing faults in asynchronous machines. The discrete wavelet transform (DWT) is intended to provide the detail coefficients while the Hilbert transform (HT) is used to obtain the temporal envelope then the envelope spectrum of the detail. The kurtosis value indicates the optimum decomposition wavelet level containing the significant frequencies corresponding to faults for early detection. The result obtained by HT-DWT is more suitable for the analysis of emergency signals. This technique is effective for either stationary or nonstationary signals. Healthy case is compared to faulty case in order to extract frequencies characterizing different faults. The validation of this approach is evaluated by comparing theoretical with experimental results.

Motion segmentation has applications in, amongst others, robotics, traffic monitoring, sports analysis, inspection, video surveillance, compression, and video indexing. However, the performance of most methods is limited compared to human capabilities. Based on extensive literature the following challenges remain: occlusions, temporary stopping, missing data, and segmenting multiple objects. In this paper, several popular and state-of-the-art methods were reviewed, with the focus on the most important attributes. These methods were classified according to the main approach taken, namely image Difference, Optical Flow, wavelet, Statistical, Layers, Manifold Clustering, Template Matching, and Deep Learning. The investigated methods are compared and major research challenges are highlighted. Based on the review, improvements are identified as a basis for future research.
