Digital holography based sound propagation imaging works on phase change characteristics of a medium where sound wave propagates. Spatial and temporal distribution of sound field can be obtained by measuring phase modulation of light caused by sound field. In this technique, object wave passes near to vibrating object and the interference patterns are recorded in digital holograms as a function of time. After using numerical reconstruction by angular spectrum method and acousto-optic data processing, sound field can be visualized. This technique has been tested for vibration frequency measurement and can also visualize the human voice by optical means. It has also been used for optical voice encryption, which can secure voice. For vibration frequency measurement, Fourier analysis is used and for voice encryption, optical image encryption techniques have been utilized. In this paper, we present our proposed sound wave imaging scheme and its applications in frequency estimation and voice encryption. In the support of sound imaging scheme and its applications, we present detailed theory and experimental results.

In this paper, a robust image watermarking technique has been proposed in lifting wavelet transform (LWT) domain. Neural network is incorporated in the watermark extraction process to achieve improved robustness against different attacks. The integration of neural network with LWT makes the system robust to various attacks maintaining an adequate level of imperceptibility. The 3-level LWT coefficients are randomized and arranged in 2x2 non-overlapping blocks. Each block is modified according to a binary watermark bit. Randomization of coefficients and blocks has been done to enhance the security of the system. The binary watermark bit is also encrypted using another key. The scheme provides an average imperceptibility of 43.88 dB for a watermark capacity of 512 bits. The robustness has been observed against all the intentional and non-intentional attacks. The technique provides satisfactory robustness against different attacks such as noising attacks, de-noising attacks, lossy compression attacks, imageprocessing attacks and some geometric attacks. The algorithm has been tested on a large image database containing different class of images.

Light fields have emerged as one of the most promising 3D representation formats, enabling a richer and more immersive representation of a visual scene. The lenslet light field acquisition approach consists in placing an array of micro-lenses between the camera main lens and the photosensor to allow capturing both the intensity and the direction of the light rays. This type of representation format offers new interaction possibilities with the visual content, notably a posteriori refocusing and visualization of different perspectives of the visual scene. However, this representation model is associated to very large amounts of data, thus requiring efficient coding solutions in order applications involving storage and transmission may be deployed. This paper proposes a novel lenslet light field imaging scalable coding solution adopting a wavelet-based approach, able to offer view, quality and spatial scalabilities, to meet the characteristics of multiple types of displays, transmission channels and user needs. The performance results show that the proposed coding solution performs better than alternative scalable coding solutions, notably JPEG 2000.

wavelet transformation is known as a strong method for signal and imageprocessing tasks in the medical applications. We utilized this transformation to reduce the noise in low-dose x-ray computed tomography (CT) images. The CT images had been acquired with 75% less radiation dose compared to the normal dose scans. In this paper we propose a shrinkage function that outperforms the traditional ones and it doesn't require any selected parameters, if it is tuned for the specific region of the patient volume. In addition, the denoising performances of combinations of wavelet orders, decomposition levels, and thresholding methods were investigated. The results revealed the best combination of wavelet order and decomposition level for low dose CT denoising.

Over the past decade functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) has been intensively used to study the complex functional network organization of the human brain and how it changes in time. An fMRI machine produces 3D time-course cerebral images that contain hundreds of thousands of voxels and each voxel is scanned for hundreds of times. This potentially allows the researchers to explore functional connectivity on a voxel-to-voxel level, and also yields a number of serious statistical complications. First of all, the high-dimension property of fMRI data turns it into Big Data. Furthermore, the study of functional brain network for so many voxels involves the problem of estimation of and simultaneous inference for large-p-small-n cross-covariance matrices. Furthermore, all problems should be solved in the presence of notoriously large fMRI noise which often forces statisticians to average signals over large areas instead of considering a network between individual voxels. An attractive alternative to the averaging, discussed in the paper, is a multiresolution wavelet analysis complemented by special procedures of estimating noise and estimation and simultaneous inference for cross-covariance and cross-correlation matrices for hundreds of thousands pairs of voxels, and it is fair to say that if wavelets have not been already known, fMRI applications would necessitates their creation. Both task and resting-state fMRI are considered, and lessons from the wavelet analysis of ultra-fast and conventional neuroplasticity fMRI experiments are presented. The article is self-contained and does not require familiarity with wavelets or fMRI.

This paper presents a hardware implementation of a 2D-DWT on a reconfigurable architecture targeting imageprocessingapplications. The architecture is capable of performing various other digital signal and imageprocessing functions such as CORDIC, FIR filtering, 2D convolution and DCT to compute transforms, trigonometric functions etc. In this paper, we present the mapping of a configurable 2D-DWT algorithm using convolution method with separable filter approach having filter length upto 8 taps on the reconfigurable architecture hardware. The reconfigurable hardware architecture mapped with 2D-DWT is ported onto an FPGA that has a frequency of operation of 37.26 MHz. For a 1-level decomposition, the number of clock cycles are 496 per 8x8 block of the NxN image with a total clock cycles equals 31N(2)/4 with 75% compression and can be further improved by computing higher levels of decomposition of the 2D-DWT.

We have experimentally analyzed and compared the performance of Brillouin optical time-domain analyzer (BOTDA) sensors assisted by non-local means (NLM) and wavelet denoising (WD) techniques in terms of measurement accuracy and experimental spatial resolution, respectively. Degradation of the measurement accuracy and experimental spatial resolution after denoising by NLM and WD are observed, which originate from the fact that higher signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) improvement is achieved at the expense of sacrificing the details of BOTDA data, and smaller data sampling point number (SPN) gives rise to insufficient redundant information for denoising. The two parameters degrade to different extents depending on the amount of SNR improvement and SPN adopted in data acquisition. Compared with WD, NLM relies more on the features of the raw data, which makes its performance highly dependent on the level of neighbouring data similarity. Also, for the first time we propose and demonstrate a BOTDA assisted by advanced BlockMatching and 3D filtering (BM3D) denoising technique, which minimizes the degradation of the two parameters even under higher SNR improvement and smaller SPN. BM3D takes the advantage of NLM and WD and utilizes the spatial-domain non-local principle to enhance the denoising in the transform domain, thus it shows the least degradation of measurement accuracy/experimental spatial resolution after denoising. Thus the BOTDA assisted by BM3D maintains the best measurement accuracy/experimental spatial resolution compared with those by NLM and WD. We also show that BM3D has the advantage of temperature independent performance, unlike NLM where the accuracy is affected by the temperature value. We believe BM3D would be an excellent denoising technique for state-of-the-art BOTDA sensors. In addition, this work is also valuable for practical applications of image denoising techniques in BOTDA sensors with respect to the appropriate choice of image denoising techniques

signalprocessing is used in a wide variety of applications, ranging from digital imageprocessing to biomedicine. Recently, some tools from signalprocessing have been extended to the context of graphs, allowing its use on irregular domains. Among others, the Fourier Transform and the wavelet Transform have been adapted to such context. Graph signalprocessing (GSP) is a new field with many potential applications on data exploration. In this dissertation we show how tools from graph signalprocessing can be used for visual analysis. Specifically, we proposed a data filtering method, based on spectral graph filtering, that led to high quality visualizations which were attested qualitatively and quantitatively. On the other hand, we relied on the graph wavelet transform to enable the visual analysis of massive time-varying data revealing interesting phenomena and events. The proposed applications of GSP to visually analyze data are a first step towards incorporating the use of this theory into information visualization methods. Many possibilities from GSP can be explored by improving the understanding of static and time-varying phenomena that are yet to be uncovered.
