This paper describes a new approach to the characterization of texture properties at multiple scales using the wavelet transform. The analysis uses an overcomplete wavelet decomposition, which yields a description that is translation invariant. It is shown that this representation constitutes a tight frame of l(2) and that it has a fast iterative algorithm. A texture is characterized by a set o...

Based on the cubic B-spline curve, new Chinese fonts are generated by wavelet transforms in this paper. The outlines of Chinese fonts are first transformed into B-spline curves. Then, using wavelet transforms, the control points of each curve are decomposed into hierarchies containing the detailed features of the Chinese fonts. Using the synthesis procedure of wavelet transforms, new fonts can ...

In this paper, we investigate the use of the Stockwell Transform for image compression. The proposed technique uses the Discrete Orthogonal Stockwell Transform (DOST), an orthogonal version of the Discrete Stockwell Transform (DST). These mathematical transforms provide a multiresolution spatial-frequency representation of a signal or image. First, we give a brief introduction for the Stockwell...

the helicopter-borne electromagnetic (hem) frequency-domain exploration method is an airborne electromagnetic (aem) technique that is widely used for vast and rough areas for resistivity imaging. the vast amount of digitized data flowing from the hem method requires an efficient and accurate inversion algorithm. generally, the inverse modelling of hem data in the first step requires a precise a...

With the help of various image editing tools available, it has become easier to alter an image in such a way that it does not leave behind any clues. Copy –Move forgery or also known as Region Duplication Forgery is a type of image forgery in which a part of digital image is copied and pasted to another part of same image. Since the copied and pasted image comes from the same image, it becomes ...

TRANSFORMS FOR IMAGE COMPRESSION R. Andrews D.T. Nguyen Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science University of Tasmania Churchill Ave. Sandy Bay 7005 AUSTRALIA Abstract { It has been demonstrated that wavelets compete well against DCT based image compression techniques [1]. However the advantages of nonseparable wavelet transforms for image and video coding have not yet been ad...

This paper introduces a class of M-channel linear phase perfect reconstruction lter banks (LPPRFBs) with integer coeecients. The construction of these lter banks is based on a VLSI-friendly lattice structure which employs the minimum number of delay elements and robustly enforces both linear phase and perfect reconstruction properties. The lattice coeecients are parameterized as a series of lif...

This paper presents an adaptive filtering method to remove ocular artifacts in the electroencephalogram (EEG) records. The major concern in analyzing EEG signal is the presence of ocular artifacts in EEG records caused due to various factors. It is essential to design specific filters to remove the artifacts in EEG records. Here, we proposed an adaptive filtering method that uses RLS (Recursive...

The wavelet transform has become a useful computational tool for a variety of signal and image processing applications. For example, the wavelet transform is useful for the compression of digital image files; smaller files are important for storing images using less memory and for transmitting images faster and more reliably. The FBI uses wavelet transforms for compressing digitally scanned fin...
