Introduction: A major problem facing the patients with chronic liver diseases is the diagnostic procedure.  The conventional diagnostic method depends mainly on needle biopsy which is an invasive method. There  are  some  approaches  to  develop  a  reliable  noninvasive  method  of  evaluating  histological  changes  in  sonograms. The main characteristic used to distinguish between the normal...

With the development of the technology and increase of human dependency on structures, healthy structures play an important role in people lives and communications. Hence, structural health monitoring has been attracted strongly in recent decades. Improvement of measuring instruments made signal processing as a powerful tool in structural heath monitoring. Wavelet transform invention causes a g...

The Discrete wavelet transform (DWT) has gained widespread acceptance in signal processing and image compression. Because of their inherent multi-resolution nature, wavelet-coding schemes are especially suitable for applications where scalability and tolerable degradation are important. Most of the DWT architectures utilize pipelining and combinational logic design to reduce power and chip size...

Xiaohui Xue Dept. of Computer Science, Harbin Institute of Technology, Harbin, Heilongjiang, P.R.China [email protected] The mainstream of image compression research has been based on the Shannon Information Theory for years. In image data, there exist statistical redundancy, knowledge redundancy and psychophysiological redundancy, and the latter two cannot be handled by Shannon theory. Th...

This work focuses on the image steganography with an image compression using Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) on FPGA Spartan III Evaluation Development Kit (EDK). Current trends support digital image files as the cover file to hide another digital file with secret message or data. At receiver side, using Inverse Discrete Wavelet transform, both original image as well as hidden data can be succ...

This study proposes a blind watermarking algorithm based on Double Haar Wavelet Transform (DHWT) for copyright protection of digital images. Watermark embedding is performed in wavelet transform domain. DHWT is applied to the original cover image and binary watermark. Singular value decomposition (SVD) is applied on selected subband of cover image and binary watermark. Eigen values of selected ...

SAR images are different from optical images in many ways. Therefore, the traditional compression methods, which have been used for compression, are not so efficient for the compression of the SAR images. Generally, 2-dimensional Fourier transform (2D-FT) is used for representing a complex SAR image. But the energy of the coefficients of 2D-FT on the complex SAR image distributes in the whole f...

Image Denoising has remained a fundamental problem in the field of image processing. It still remains a challenge for researchers because noise removal introduces artifacts and causes blurring of the images. In the existing system the signal denoising is performed using neighbouring wavelet coefficients. The standard discrete wavelet transform is not shift invariant due to decimation operation....

In this paper, after reviewing the main points of Haar wavelet transform and chaotic trigonometric maps, we introduce a new perspective of Haar wavelet transform. The essential idea of the paper is given linearity properties of the scaling function of the Haar wavelet. With regard to applications of Haar wavelet transform in image processing, we introduce chaotic trigonometric Haar wavelet tran...
