Compressed sensing (CS) method has attracted increasing attention owing to providing a novel insight for signal and imageprocessing technology. Acquiring high-quality reconstruction results plays a crucial role in successful applications of CS method. This paper presents a multiscale reconstruction model that simultaneously considers the inaccuracy properties on the measurement data and the measurement matrix. Based on the wavelet analysis method, the original inverse problem is decomposed into a sequence of inverse problems, which are solved successively from the largest scale to the original scale. An objective functional, that integrate the beneficial advantages of the least trimmed sum of absolute deviations (LTA) estimation and the combinational M-estimation, is proposed. An iteration scheme that incorporates the advantages of the homotopy method and the evolutionary programming (EP) algorithm is designed for solving the proposed objective functional. Numerical simulations are implemented to validate the feasibility of the proposed reconstruction method. (C) 2014 ISA. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

It is seen that during image acquisition, storage, retrieval or transmission, images get degraded due to presence of noise. With different varieties of noise and its extent, de-noising becomes challenging. Traditionally, a host of techniques have considered spatial, statistical and multiple domain approaches for de-noising. Yet, the scope always exist for exploring innovative means of performing de-noising for enhancing image quality. In the proposed work, we present an approach to de-noise images by combining the features of multilevel Discrete wavelet Transform (DWT) and Feed Forward Artificial Neural Network (FF ANN). We apply our algorithm to de-noise the images corrupted by a kind of multiplicative noise known as speckle noise. The results show that the proposed method proves effective for a range of variations and is suitable for critical applications.

The work in this dissertation involves an algorithmic approach to zoom a given image in wavelet domain and to get a sharper image using with various interpolation techniques. The exploration is an attempt to develop quantitative measures that can automatically predict perceived image quality. An objective image quality metric can play a variety of roles in imageprocessingapplications. First, it can be used to dynamically monitor and adjust image quality; second, it can be used to optimize algorithms and parameter settings of imageprocessing systems. Second, it can be used to benchmark imageprocessing systems and algorithms as zoomed images are sharper as compared to other methods. Hence keeping all this in mind on this source of information, Discrete wavelet Transform (DWT) with various interpolation techniques had been applied upon variances to obtain their values. Performance is measured by calculating Peak signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR), and the proposed method gives much better PSNR compared to other methods. This algorithm can help in medical science to get the minutest details for detection of cancer.

wavelet transformation has become a cutting edge and promising approach in the field of image and signalprocessing. A wavelet is a waveform of effectively limited duration that has an average value of zero. wavelet analysis is done by breaking up the signal into shifted and scaled versions of the original signal. The key advantage of a wavelet is that it is capable of revealing smaller changes, trends, and breakdown points that are not revealed by other techniques such as Fourier analysis. The phenomenon of polarization has been studied for quite some time and is a very useful tool for target detection and tracking. Long Wave Infrared (LWIR) polarization is beneficial for detecting camouflaged objects and is a useful approach when identifying and distinguishing manmade objects from natural clutter. In addition, the Stokes Polarization Parameters, which are calculated from 0 degrees, 45 degrees, 90 degrees, 135 degrees, right circular, and left circular intensity measurements, provide spatial orientations of target features and suppress natural features. In this paper, we propose a wavelet-based polarimetry analysis (WPA) method to analyze Long Wave Infrared Polarimetry imagery to discriminate targets such as dismounts and vehicles from background clutter. These parameters can be used for image thresholding and segmentation. Experimental results show the wavelet-based polarimetry analysis is efficient and can be used in a wide range of applications such as change detection, shape extraction, target recognition, and feature-aided tracking.

In this paper, we propose a hybrid feature point detector based on a fusion of a multi-scale edge map and a wavelet based interest point representation. The feature points thus obtained are used for efficient image indexing and retrieval. Proposed method preserves an optimum number of significant feature points. Our method is compared against other existing interest point detectors. Efficacy of the proposed method is evaluated via a image retrieval system against the standard test databases. A similarity distance measure like Hausdorff distance is used for image matching, indexing and ranking of results considering the spatial information of the local structures in the image.

In the context of multi-temporal synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images for earth monitoring applications, one critical issue is the detection of changes occurring after a natural or anthropic disaster. In this paper, we propose a new similarity measure for automatic change detection based on a divisive normalization image representation. The divisive normalization transform (DNT) has been recognized as a successful methodology to model the perceptual sensitivity of biological vision and a useful image representation that significantly reduces statistical dependence of natural images. In this work, we exploit the fact that the histogram of DNT coefficients within wavelet subbands can often be well fitted with a zero-mean Gaussian density function, which is a one-parameter function that allows efficient change detection of SAR images. The proposed change detector is compared to other recent model-based approaches. Tests on real data show that our detector outperforms previously suggested methods in terms of the rate of false alarm rate and the total error rate.

Discrete wavelet transform (DWT) has diverse applications in signal and imageprocessing fields. In this paper, we have implemented the lifting "Cohen-Daubechies-Feauveau 9/7" algorithm on a low cost NVIDIA's GPU (Graphics processing Unit) with MatLab to achieve speedup in computation. The efficiency of our GPU based implementation is measured and compared with CPU based algorithms. Our investigational results with GPU show performance enhancement over a factor of 1.82 compared with CPU for an image of size 4096x4096 pixels.

A 3D dual-tree discrete wavelet transform (DT-DWT) based multiple description video coding algorithm is proposed to combat the transmitting error or packet loss due to Internet or wireless network channel failure. Each description of the proposed multiple description coding scheme consists of a base layer and an enhancement layer. First, the input image sequence is encoded by a standard H.264 encoder in low bit rate to form the base layer, which is then duplicated to each description. Second, the difference between the reconstructed base layer and the input image sequence is encoded by a 3D dual-tree wavelet encoder to produce four coefficient trees. After noise-shaping, these four trees are partitioned into two groups, individually forming enhancement layers of two descriptions. Since the 3D DT-DWT equips 28 directional subbands, the enhancement layer can be coded without motion estimation. The plenty of directional selectivity of DT-DWT solves the mismatch problem and improves the coding efficiency. If all descriptions are available in the receiver, a high quality video can be reconstructed by a central decoder. If only one description is received, a side decoder can be used to reconstruct the source with acceptable quality. Simulation results have shown that the quality of reconstructed video by the proposed algorithm is superior to that by the state-of-the-art multiple description video coding methods.

For the past two decades, the Discrete wavelet Transformation (DWT) has been successfully applied to many fields. For imageprocessingapplications, the DWT can produce non-redundant representations of an input image with greater performance than other wavelet methods. Further, the DWT provides a better spatial and spectral localization of image representation, capable of revealing smaller changes, trends, and breakdown points that classical methods often miss. However, the DWT has its own limitations and disadvantages such as lack of shift invariance. That is, if the input signal or image is shifted, then the wavelet coefficients will exacerbate that shift. The DWT also lacks the ability to represent directional cases. The Double Density Dual-Tree Discrete wavelet Transformation (D3TDWT) is a relatively new and enhanced version of the DWT with two scaling functions and four distinct wavelets designed in such a way that one pair of wavelets is offset with another pair so that the first pair lies in between the second. In this paper, we propose a D3TDWT polarimetry analysis method to analyze Long Wave Infrared (LWIR) polarimetry imagery to discriminate objects such as people and vehicles from background clutter. The D3TDWT method can be applied to a wide range of applications such as change detection, shape extraction, target recognition, and simultaneous tracking and identification.
