Calculations based on high-resolution quantizations prove that the distortion rate D( R) of an image transform coding is proportional to 2 2 R when R is large enough. In wavelet and block cosine bases, we show that if R < 1 bit/pixel, then D( R) varies like R1 2 , where remains of the order of 1 for most natural images. The improved performance of embedded codings in wavelet bases is analyzed. ...

This paper presents and analyzes Wavelet Packet, Cosine Packet and Wave Atom Transforms based electrocardiogram (ECG) compression. The ECG signal is first transformed using these transforms. The transformed coefficients are thresholded in order to match the predefined user specified percentage root mean square difference (PRD) within the tolerance. The non-zero thresholded coefficients are then...

Linear transforms in the time-frequency domain have proven very effective for non-stationary signal analysis. As such, wavelets and local trigonometric transforms have attracted substantial attention during the last decade and both methods have undergone extensive refinement. One recent development is the availability of algorithms for wavelet design and shift-invariant (SI) algorithms for both...

In this paper, an algorithm for image coding based on a sparse 3-dimensional Discrete Cosine Transform (3D DCT) is studied. The algorithm is essentially a method for achieving a sufficiently sparse representation using 3D DCT. The experimental results obtained by the algorithm are compared to the 2D DCT (used in JPEG standard) and wavelet db9/7 (used in JPEG2000 standard). It is experimentally ...

Image compression is a key technology in transmission and storage of digital images because of vast data associated with them. This research suggests a new image compression scheme with pruning proposal based on discrete wavelet transformation (DWT). The effectiveness of the algorithm has been justified over some real images, and the performance of the algorithm has been compared with other com...

In this paper, image compression using orthogonal wavelet transforms of Walsh, Cosine, Haar, Kekre, Slant and Sine is studied. Wavelet transform of size N 2 xN 2 is generated using its corresponding orthogonal transform of size NxN. These wavelet transforms are applied on R, G, and B planes of 256x256x3 size colour images separately. In each transformed plane rows/columns are sorted in their de...

All sorts of information today is getting digitized and internet among others is the easiest and a very effective source and host for sharing data. So, it becomes very important to track, protect and monitor the data and maintain its security, confidentiality, data integrity, authentication, robustness and ownership. And, techniques like steganography, watermarking and cryptography help us to d...

The multi-resolution watermarking method for digital images proposed in this work. The multiscale ridgelet coefficients of low and high frequency bands of the watermark is embedded to the most significant coefficients at low and high frequency bands of the multiscale ridgelet of an host image, respectively. A multi-resolution nature of multiscale ridgelet transform is exploiting in the process ...
