Remote sensing produces large amounts of digital data that is collected into databases. Since a variety of applications utilize multispectral data, the data cannot be compressed with lossy methods for some user communities. In this paper, we propose improvements for the combination of two reversible methods for the lossless compression of multispectral images. Our improvements are three-fold: n...

In this paper, an efficiently DWT-based watermarking technique is proposed to embed signatures in images to attest the owner identification and discourage the unauthorized copying. This paper deals with a fuzzy inference filter to choose the larger entropy of coefficients to embed watermarks. Unlike most previous watermarking frameworks which embedded watermarks in the larger coefficients of in...

We solve the Einstein equations for the 2+1 dimensions with and without scalar fields. We calculate the entropy, Hawking temperature and the emission probabilities for these cases. We also compute the Newman-Penrose coefficients for different solutions and compare them. key words: BTZ solutions, thermodynamical properties, Newman-Penrose coefficients

We define and investigate the notion of entropy for quantum error correcting codes. The entropy of a code for a given quantum channel has a number of equivalent realisations, such as through the coefficients associated with the Knill-Laflamme conditions and the entropy exchange computed with respect to any initial state supported on the code. In general the entropy of a code can be viewed as a ...

We generalize a construction of Dunkl, obtaining a wide class intertwining functions on the symmetric group and a related family of multidimensional Hahn polynomials. Following a suggestion of Vilenkin and Klymik, we develop a tree-method approach for those intertwining functions. We also give a group theoretic proof of the relation between Hahn polynomials and Clebesh-Gordan coefficients, give...

One of the advantages of the Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) compared to Fourier Transform (e.g. Discrete Cosine Transform DCT) is its ability to provide both spatial and frequency localization of image energy. However, WT coefficients, like DCT coefficients, are defined by magnitude as well as sign. While algorithms exist for the coding of wavelet coefficients magnitude, there are no efficien...

In this study, features of the financial returns of the PSI20index, related to market efficiency, are captured using waveletand entropy-based techniques. This characterization includes the following points. First, the detection of long memory, associated with low frequencies, and a global measure of the time series: the Hurst exponent estimated by several methods, including wavelets. Second, th...

Two critical issues in microarray-based gene expression profiling with amplified RNA are its reliability and reproducibility compared to the non-amplified RNA. In this study, the non-linear relationship between the two methods was evaluated with the entropy in addition to the linear relationship using correlation coefficients. The correlation coefficients within the amplification method and bet...
