there are two methods for identifying formation interface in oil wells: core analysis, which is a precise approach but costly and time consuming, and well logs analysis, which petrophysists perform, which is subjective and not completely reliable. in this paper, a novel coupled method was proposed to detect the formation interfaces using gr logs. second approximation level (a2) of gr log gained...

A new method of image denoising using waveletbased contourlet transform (WBCT) is proposed. Due to the lack of translation invariance of WBCT, image denoising by means of WBCT would lead to Gibbs-like phenomena. In the paper,cycle spinning-based technique is applied to develop translation invariant WBCT denoising scheme. Many simulation experiments with images contaminated by additive white Gau...

This work presents adaptive image steganography methods which locate suitable regions for embedding by contourlet transform, while embedded message bits are carried in discrete cosine transform coefficients. The first proposed method utilizes contourlet transform coefficients to select contour regions of the image. In the embedding procedure, some of the contourlet transform coefficients may ch...

With progress in radar systems, a number of methods have been developed for signal processing and detection in radars. A number of modern radar signal processing methods use time-frequency transforms, especially the wavelet transform (WT) which is a well-known linear transform. The interference canceling is one of the most important applications of the wavelet transform. In Ad-hoc detection met...

This paper presents a new compression technique and image watermarking algorithm based on Contourlet Transform (CT). For image compression, an energy based quantization is used. Scalar quantization is explored for image watermarking. Double filter bank structure is used in CT. The Laplacian Pyramid (LP) is used to capture the point discontinuities, and then followed by a Directional Filter Bank...
