Multimedia Retrieval is one of the most important and fastest growing research areas in the field of multimedia technology. Large collections of scientific, artistic and commercial data comprising image, text, audio and video abound in the present information based society. There must be an effective and precise method of assisting users to search, browse and interact with these collections. Th...

In this paper, we have presented the golden ratio-Haar wavelet based multimedia steganography. The key features of the proposed method are: 1. New Haar wavelet structure based on the Fibonacci sequence, and Golden Ratio. 2. Parametric transform dependency, as decryption key, on the security of the sensitive data. One of the important differences between the existing transform based data hiding ...

The goal of Iris recognition is to recognize human identity through the textural characteristics of one’s Iris muscular patterns. Iris recognition has been acknowledged as one of the most accurate biometric modalities because of its high recognition rate. Here performance comparison among various proposed techniques of Iris Recognition using the fractional coefficients of transformed Iris image...

Accurate groundwater level modeling and forecasting contribute to civil projects, land use, citys planning and water resources management. Combined Wavelet-Artificial Neural Network (WANN) model has been widely used in recent years to forecast hydrological and hydrogeological phenomena. This study investigates the sensitivity of the pre-processing to the wavelet type and decomposition level in ...

In this paper a new method of image data compression for medical images has been proposed to achieve high PSNR (Peak Signal to Noise Ratio). Image compression using Set Partitioning In Hierarchical Trees (SPIHT) transform is being compared with the other well known wavelets like Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT), Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT), Dual Tree Complex Wavelet Transform (DTCWT) and Em...

ÐThis paper studies the effects of image translation on wavelet-based image registration. The main result is that the normalized correlation coefficients of low-pass Haar and Daubechies wavelet subbands are essentially insensitive to translations for features larger than twice the wavelet blocksize. The third-level low-pass subbands produce a correlation peak that varies with translation from 0...

Abstract A new numerical method based on Haar wavelet is proposed for two-dimensional nonlinear Fredholm, Volterra and Volterra-Fredholm integral equations of first and second kind. The proposed method is an extension of the Haar wavelet method [1–3] from one-dimensional nonlinear integral equations (Fredholm and Volterra) to twodimensional nonlinear integral equations (Fredholm, Volterra and V...
