In real time applications Image Compression plays a major role in storage memory and transmission bandwidth. As many compression methods are existing, selection of compression methods depends upon the quality in image reconstruction. Two popular compression methods are Wavelet and Ridgelet methods. Wavelet method has affected by the blocking artifacts and Ridgelet is designed to handle only lin...

In this paper, a novel image denoising algorithm using M-band ridgelet transform is proposed for image denoising. The performance of the proposed method is tested on ultrasound images which are corrupted with Gaussian noise. The performance of the proposed method is compared with the existing ridgelet and curvelet transform in terms of peak-signal to noise ratio (PSNR) and mean square error (MS...

Although Fourier and Wavelet Transform have been widely used for texture classification methods in medical images, the discrimination performance of FDCT has not been investigated so far in respect to breast cancer detection. Ιn this paper, three multi-resolution transforms, namely the Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT), the Stationary Wavelet Transform (SWT) and the Fast Discrete Curvelet Transf...

We outline digital implementations of two newly developed multiscale representation systems, namely, the ridgelet and curvelet transforms. We apply these digital transforms to the problem of restoring an image from noisy data and compare our results with those obtained via well established methods based on the thresholding of wavelet coefficients. We show that the curvelet transform allows us a...

Barcode localization is the main challenge in developing an image-based barcode reading system. Bar codes are able to carry both explicit information and a database key, by encoding a series of characters or symbols. This paper deals with localization of European Article Number-13 (EAN-13) barcode in an image. A new approach for detecting and locating bar-codes is introduced here, which is base...

Abstract Shallow geological imaging structures often play an essential role in the field of environmental and engineering geophysics. Early arrival waveform inversion (EWI) is high-resolution method to near-surface structures. We proposed a joint envelope based on curvelet transform (CJWEI) build shallow By taking advantage their complementary sensitivities structure, we can constrain both low-...

BACKGROUND Compressed sensing(CS) has been well applied to speed up imaging by exploring image sparsity over predefined basis functions or learnt dictionary. Firstly, the sparse representation is generally obtained in a single transform domain by using wavelet-like methods, which cannot produce optimal sparsity considering sparsity, data adaptivity and computational complexity. Secondly, most s...

Due to the development of CT (Computed Tomography), MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging), PET (Positron Emission Tomography), EBCT (Electron Beam Computed Tomography), SMRI (Stereotactic Magnetic Resonance Imaging), etc. has enhanced the distinguishing rate and scanning rate of the imaging equipments. The diagnosis and the process of getting useful information from the image are got by processing t...
