The extreme ultraviolet imaging telescope (EIT) of SOHO offers a unique record of the solar atmosphere for its sampling in temperature, field of view, resolution, duration, and cadence. To investigate globally and locally its topology and evolution during the solar cycle, we consider a multi-scale approach, and more precisely we use the wavelet spectrum. We present three results among the applications of such a procedure. First, we estimate the typical dimension of the supergranules as seen in the 30.4 nm passband, and we show that the evolution of the characteristic network scale is almost in phase with the solar cycle. Second, we build pertinent time series that give the evolution of the signal energy present in the corona at different scales. We propose a method that detects eruptions and post-flaring activity in EUV image sequences. Third, we introduce a new way to extract active regions in EIT images, with perspectives in, e.g., long-term irradiance analysis.

Edge detection is a cornerstone in any computer, robotic or machine vision system. Real time edge detection is a pre-process to many critical applications, such as assembly line inspection and surveillance. wavelets-based algorithms are replacing traditional algorithms, especially the Haar wavelet because of its simplicity. The Haar algorithm uses a multilevel decomposition to produce image edges corresponding to high frequency wavelet coefficients. In this paper, a real time edge detection algorithm based on Haar is analyzed and compared to conventional edge detectors. Other implemented and compared algorithms are the traditional Prewitt algorithm, and, from a newer generation, the Canny algorithm. The real time implementation of all algorithms is accomplished using TI TMS320C6711 card. In case of Haar, the multilevel decomposition improves the results obtained with noisy images. The results show that the Haar-based edge detector has a low execution time with accurate edge results, and thus represents a suitable algorithm for on-line vision system applications. Canny has produced the thinnest edges, but is not suitable for real time processing using the 6711, and falls short in edge results compared to the Haar results. The wavelet-based algorithm has outperformed other edge detectors.

In this paper we describe the implementation of a vision system based on an optoelectronic neural network architecture which is based on an optical broadcast interconnection scheme. The architecture of the neural network processor has been designed to exploit the computational characteristics of electronics and the communication characteristics of optics, thus it is based on an optical broadcast of input signals to a dense array of processing elements. In the proposed vision system, a CMOS sensor capture the image of an object, the output of the camera is introduced to the optoelectronic processor which compares the input image with a set of reference patterns, the optoelectronic processor provides the reference pattern that best match with the input image. The processing core of the system is an optoelectronic architecture that has been configured as a Hamming neural network.

This paper presents an image fusion method based on a new class of wavelet - nonseparable wavelet with compact support, linear phase, orthogonality, and dilation matrix ((2)(0)(0)(2) ). We first construct a 6 x 6 nonseparable wavelet. filter bank. Using these filters the images involved are decomposed into nonseparable wavelet pyramids. Then the following fusion algorithm is proposed: for the low-frequency part, we select the average of the low-frequency subimages from both sensors. For every high-frequency subimage of each level, we select the absolute value of each pixel of the high-frequency subimage to form a new subimage, and the variance of each image patch over a 3 x 3 window in the new subimages is computed as an activity measurement. If the variance of the 3 x 3 window in one new subimage is greater than the variance of the corresponding 3 x 3 window in the other new subimage, then the center pixel value of the 3 x 3 window is selected as a new pixel value of the fused image. A new fused image is then reconstructed. The performance of the method is evaluated using entropy, root mean square error, and peak-to-peak signal-to-noise ratio. The experimental results show that this method has good vision effect. Because the nonseparable wavelet transform can extract more details from source images, all the features in the source images can be seen in the fused image, and the fused image can extract more information from the source images.
In this paper two complex wavelet transforms, namely the Gabor wavelet transform and Kingsbury's Dual-Tree Complex wavelet transform (DT-CWT) are compared for their capabilities to extract facial features. The Gab...

Genetic image analysis is an interdisciplinary area, which combines microscope imageprocessing techniques with the use of biochemical probes for the detection of genetic aberrations responsible for cancers and genetic diseases. Recent years have witnessed parallel and significant progress in both imageprocessing and genetics. On one hand, revolutionary multiscale wavelet techniques have been developed in signalprocessing and applied mathematics in the last decade, providing sophisticated tools for genetic image analysis. On the other hand, reaping the fruit of genome sequencing, high resolution genetic probes have been developed to facilitate accurate detection of subtle and cryptic genetic aberrations. In the meantime, however, they bring about computational challenges for image analysis. In this paper, we review the fruitful interaction between wavelets and genetic imaging. We show how wavelets offer a perfect tool to address a variety of chromosome image analysis problems. In fact, the same word "subband" has been used in the nomenclature of cytogenetics to describe the multiresolution banding structure of the chromosome, even before its appearance in the wavelet literature. The application of wavelets to chromosome analysis holds great promise in addressing several computational challenges in genetics. A variety of real world examples such as the chromosome image enhancement, compression, registration and classification will be demonstrated. These examples are drawn from fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and microarray (gene chip) imaging experiments, which indicate the impact of wavelets on the diagnosis, treatments and prognosis of cancers and genetic diseases.

wavelets and associated multiresolution analysis has had a major impact on signalprocessing, data compression, computer vision, telecommunication and a variety of other engineering and scientific disciplines. However, all of the aforementioned applications are limited to either wavelet analysis or wavelet characterization. The use of wavelets as basis in the direct control of the system dynamics has not been exploited [1]. In this paper we show how we can better control the time-varying nonlinear behavior of a motion system, i.e. a wafer stage apparatus, by integrating an adaptive Iterative Learning Control (ILC) technique with the time-frequency analysis of the servo error when acceleration feed-forward is applied. The performance of the presented learning control technique relies on an accurate identification of time-varying nonlinear and stochastic effects present in the servo error signal. The identification of these effects is performed by means of time-frequency analysis of the servo error and therefore, our goal is to obtain a high-resolution time-frequency energy distribution of the analyzed signal. In this paper we present a comparative analysis of the servo error energy density by four means: Wigner distribution;piecewise-linear Wigner distribution;adaptive signal decomposition over one dictionary of modulated versions of orthonormal bases of compactly supported wavelets having a fixed number of vanishing moments (which we call simple atomic dictionary);and by means of combining several simple atomic dictionaries into a complex atomic dictionary. We show that the latter approach leads to an improved time-frequency energy distribution.
Monolithic integration of photodetectors, analog-to-digital converters, data storage, and digital processing can improve both the performance and the efficiency of future portable image products. However, digitizing a...
