Due to wide imageprocessingapplications, image fusion techniques are the field of extensive research. The visible and infrared images obtained from two different sensors. The image fusion technique can be applied to fuse these source images to get a more informative fused image. The proposed method uses nonsubsampled shearlet transform (NSST) for the decomposition of source images into low-and high-frequency bands. The low-frequency bands are fused using weighted saliency-based fusion rule, and the high-frequency bands are fused using phase stretch transform based fusion rule. Then, inverse NSST is applied to obtain the fused image. The objective and subjective comparison show that the proposed method provides the better results compared with the existing methods.

This paper proposes multiscale directional transforms (MDTs) based on cosine-sine modulated filter banks (CSMFBs). Sparse image representation by directional transforms is necessary for image analysis and processing tasks and has been extensively studied. Conventionally, cosine-sine modulated filter banks (CSMFBs) have been proposed as one of separable directional transforms (SepDTs). Their computational cost is much lower than non-SepDTs, and they can work better than other SepDTs, e.g., dual-tree complex wavelet transforms (DTCWTs) in imageprocessingapplications. One drawback of CSMFBs is a lack of multiscale directional selectivity, i.e., it cannot provide multiple scale directional atoms as in the DTCWT frame, and thus flexible image representation cannot be achieved. In this work, we show a design method of multiscale CSMFBs by extending modulated lapped transforms, which are a subclass of CSMFBs. We confirm its effectiveness in nonlinear approximation and image denoising as a practical application.

To perform an accurate vegetation classification in hyperspectral data, feature extraction process prior to classification is very important. Success rates of classifiers in vegetation are rather limited compared to classification of other types of materials. Therefore, it is required to perform an effective feature extraction before classification. Principle Component Analysis(PCA) is a common and easily applicable method for this purpose. However, PCA is not an optimal method for distinguishing between different plant species. In this study, the reasons for PCA not being an adequate method for this purpose arc discussed and alternative useful feature extraction methods in classification of plant species are examined. Tests were performed for Spectrally Segmented PCA(SSPCA), Discrete wavelet Transform(DWT) and Genetic Algorithm(GA) feature extraction methods, their effects on classifier performances were compared and it was observed that all of the mentioned alternatives had noticable improvements in classification performances.

This volume provides universal methodologies accompanied by Matlab software to manipulate numerous signal and imageprocessingapplications. It is done with discreteand polynomial periodic splines. Various contributions of splines to signal and imageprocessing from a unified perspective are presented. This presentation is based on Zak transform and on Spline Harmonic Analysis (SHA) methodology. SHA combines approximation capabilities of splines with the computational efficiency of the Fast Fourier transform. SHA reduces the designof different spline types such as splines, spline wavelets (SW), wavelet frames (SWF)and wavelet packets (SWP)and their manipulations by simple operations. Digital filters, produced by wavelets design process, give birth to subdivision schemes. Subdivision schemes enable to performfast explicit computation of splines' values at dyadic and triadic rational points. This is used for signals and imagesup sampling. In addition tothe design of a diverse library of splines, SW, SWP and SWF, this book describes their applications topractical problems. The applications include up sampling, image denoising, recovery from blurred images, hydro-acoustic target detection, to name a few. The SW Fare utilized for image restoration that was degraded by noise, blurring and loss of significant number of pixels. The bookis accompanied by Matlab based software that demonstrates and implements all the presented algorithms. The book combines extensive theoretical exposurewith detailed description of algorithms, applications and software. The Matlab software can be downloaded from http://***

Electroencephalogram (EEG) is the most commonly utilized method of mapping brain wave patterns from the scalp. It is a process of extracting electrical activities of the brain in the form of EEG signals using non-invasive methods. In EEG based techniques, a challenge exists in the form of signal contamination caused by internal and external factors in the recorded EEG signals., such as the artifacts, interferences among multiple EEG sources, and noise. signal pre-processing is the most significant phase for EEG based applications, for instance, the brain computer interface (BCI) systems. This is because the quality of data acquired from the brain through EEG measurements is dependent on the effectiveness of artifact detection and removal methods. During EEG recording there are several factors that influence the quality of data. One of the factors of signal contamination occurs as the result of physiological and non-physiological artifacts. To detect and remove such contaminations from EEG signals, there are several efficient artifact detection and elimination techniques based on certain pre-processing methods. The main objective of this study is to demonstrate various types of artifacts in EEG recordings as results of external and internal factors. Furthermore, the study will also present an extensive review of existing artifacts identification and elimination methods applied on EEG signals.

The topic of image compression and retrieval has become one of the most researched areas in the recent years due to the acute demand for storage and transmission of large volume of image data that are generated in the Internet and other applications. When compressing an image, it is necessary to satisfy two conflicting requirements, namely, compression ratio (CR) and the image quality which is usually measured by the parameter, peak signal-to- noise ratio (PSNR). In this thesis, several lossless and lossy image compression techniques as well as an integrated image retrieval system are proposed using prediction and wavelet based techniques. Employing prediction errors instead of the actual image pixels for compression and retrieval processes ensures data security. A lossless algorithm (LLA) is proposed which uses neural network predictors and entropy encoding. Classification is performed as a pre-processing step to improve the compression ratio. For this purpose, classification algorithm1(CL1) and classification algorithm2(CL2) which make use of wavelet based contourlet transform coefficients and Fourier descriptors as features are proposed. Two identical artificial neural networks (ANNs) are employed at the compression (sending) and decompression (receiving) sides to carry out the prediction. The prediction error which is the difference between the original and the predicted pixel values is used instead of the actual image pixels. The prediction is performed in a lossless manner by rounding-off the predicted values to the nearest integer values at both sides.

Compressive sampling/compressed sensing (CS) has shown that it is possible to perfectly reconstruct non-bandlimited signals sampled well below the Nyquist rate. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is one of the applications that has benefited from this theory. Sparsifying operators that are effective for real-valued images, such as finite difference and wavelet transform, also work well for complex-valued MRI when phase variations are small. As phase variations increase, even if the phase is smooth, the sparsifying ability of these operators for complex-valued images is reduced. If the phase is known, it is possible to remove it from the complex-valued image before applying the sparsifying operator. Another alternative is to use the sparsifying operator on the magnitude of the image, and use a different operator for the phase, i.e., one related to a smoothness enforcing prior. The proposed method separates the priors for the magnitude and for the phase, in order to improve the applicability of CS to MRI. An improved version of previous approaches, by ourselves and other authors, is proposed to reduce computational cost and enhance the quality of the reconstructed complex-valued MR images with smooth phase. The proposed method utilizes penalty for the transformed magnitude, and a modified penalty for phase, together with a non-linear conjugated gradient optimization. Also, this paper provides an extensive set of experiments to understand the behavior of previous methods and the new approach.
