This paper gives the derivations of new duality properties for the four variants of the DWT. DWT and its variants are finite durational discrete transforms that are used in a host of applications in the fields of Digital signalprocessing, Digital imageprocessing, Communication Systems, among a host of others. The Duality properties can be applied for the computation of the temporal signal from its frequency-domain counterpart or contra if and only if existing pair of DWT, including their counterparts, are known. The utility of the Duality properties lie in the abatement of computational complexity and disbursement intrinsically.

Multifractal analysis, that quantifies the fluctuations of regularities in time series or textures, has become a standard signal/imageprocessing tool. It has been successfully used in a large variety of applicative contexts. Yet, successes are confined to the analysis of one signal or image at a time (univariate analysis). This is because multivariate (or joint) multifractal analysis remains so far rarely used in practice and has barely been studied theoretically. In view of the myriad of modern real-world applications that rely on the joint (multivariate) analysis of collections of signals or images, univariate analysis constitutes a major limitation. The goal of the present work is to theoretically ground multivariate multifractal analysis by studying the properties and limitations of the most natural extension of the univariate formalism to a multivariate formulation. It is notably shown that while performing well for a class of model processes, this natural extension is not valid in general. Based on the theoretical study of the mechanisms leading to failure, we propose alternative formulations and examine their mathematical properties.

This paper proposes a novel framework for speckle noise suppression and edge preservation using clustering algorithms in ultrasound images. The algorithms considered are K-means clustering, fuzzy C-means clustering, possibilistic C-means, fuzzy possibilistic C-means, and possibilistic fuzzy C-means clustering. This work presents an exhaustive comparative analysis of the above clustering algorithms to consider their suitability for despeckling and identifies the best clustering algorithm. Two types of dataset are considered: medical ultrasound images of the thyroid, and synthetically modelled ultrasound images. The framework consists of several distinct phases - first the edges of the image are identified using the Canny edge operator, and then a clustering algorithm applied on high frequency coefficients extracted using wavelet transform. Finally, the preserved edges are added back to speckle suppressed image. Thus, the proposed clustering method effectively accomplishes both speckle suppression and edge preservation. This paper also presents a quantitative evaluation of results to demonstrate the effectiveness of the clustering approach.

Hyperspectral imaging is a technique in which the information is collecting and processing across an electromagnetic spectrum. Fractal imageprocessing deals with various dimensions of an image. Hyperspectral analysis are applied on multiple frequency bands of images, and produces spatial and spectral information. HSI can elongate 390 to 700 nm i.e UV to infrared and near-infrared wavelength regions. This technique based system engenders narrow band() images of different wavelengths. By utilizing HIS, visualization can be elongated to invisible wavelengths. Hyperspectral based techniques have applications in various fields such as medical diagnosis, agriculture, food processing, remote sensing etc. In this project, the compression of hyperspectral images is considered. Present work involves Modified DCT-Discrete Cosine Transformation based image compression. Compared with the convention lossless compression techniques of the benchmark multi-component and hyperspectral (JPEG2000), the MOD-DCT lossless algorithm produces considerable reduce in compressed file size for beyond visible range. After implementation of Modified DCT for hyperspectral images high compression ratio was achieved.

Face recognition has received considerable interest owing to its relevance in several domains. Yet, it has some difficulties in many real world applications, where data are collected continuously and must be updated over time. In the present, we advance an adept face recognition technique that rests on Incremental Nonparametric Discriminant Analysis (INDA). We use the Gabor wavelet to extract facial features on which multi-lob ordinal filter are applied to derive Ordinal measures that are encoded in local zones, as visual parameters. Then, the statistical dispersion of these parameters is integrated to get a feature vector whose dimension is decreased by making use of PCA and variance. Last but not least, every single feature vector is treated as a feature input for the INDA. The proffered face recognition technique was assessed on the well-known ORL and Yale face databases. Experimental results have shown clearly its superiority and skillfulness in terms of recognition performance.

The paper presents a concept of a hardware implementation of 2-D finite impulse response (FIR) filter banks for the application in imageprocessing and analysis. Banks composed of low-and high-pass FIR filters are basic components of multi-stage discrete wavelet transform (DWT). The applications of such solutions that are in the scope of our interests are vision systems used in automotive active safety functions (e.g in line departure warning). Basics of the DWT are broadly described in the literature. In our work we focus on solutions supporting hardware realization of filter banks for DWT. The proposed parallel and asynchronous circuits allow to achieve the processing time for a single pixel not exceeding 2 to 4 ns, depending on the size of the mask (data for TSMC 180 nm CMOS process).

Magnifying micro movements of natural videos that are undetectable by human eye have recently received considerable interests. This is due to its impact in numerous applications. In this paper, we present a new technique to estimate accurate phase changes between subsequent video frames at different spatial locations of Complex wavelets CWT sub bands. This estimation is more accurate compared to recent literature techniques utilizing CWT in micro movement magnification. We also propose to speed up the magnification process through only amplifying small CWT local phase error intervals for each individual frame sub band. A simple block matching technique is also proposed to assess the quality of magnification and localize magnified regions. We applied our proposed technique on both Dual Tree Complex wavelet Transform DT-CWT as well as Real two-dimensional Dual Tree DWT. Several simulations are given to show that the proposed technique competes very well with the existing micro magnification approaches such as steerable pyramids STR and Riesz Transform based steerable pyramids RT-STR. A detailed comparison of these techniques performance in micro movement magnification is illustrated. The attached video file demonstrates the superior video quality attained by the proposed technique.
