This paper presents a novel approach for enhancing palmprint image. Enhancement is a preprocessing step used to modify the contrast of the image and remove the noise. Traditional Histogram equalization techniques improve the contrast of the image but introduce spurious noise. Palmprint consists of fine features. In order to extract fine features from the palmprint image, enhancement has to be d...

The work being presented here describes a novel approach for human emotion recognition based on curvelet transform. Our approach of the emotion recognition is motivated by the fact that emotions expressed more obviously by the facial curves, hence the technique proficient in capturing the edge singularity as well as the curve singularities shall yield the better results i.e. curvelets. Curvelet...

In this paper we put forward an image fusion algorithm based on Wavelet Transform, Second Generation Curvelet Transform and Nonsubsampled Contourlet Transform. Here we analyze the characteristics of NSCT along with Wavelet and Curvelet Transform for simulation experiments on multi-focus images. Here it includes multiresolution analysis ability in wavelet transform, also has better direction abi...

The images usually bring different kinds of noises in process of receiving, coding and transmission. The curvelet transform is one kind of new multi-scale transform after 1999 that is based on wavelet transform, whose structural elements include the parameters of dimension and location, and orientation parameter more, which let curvelet transform has good orientation characteristic. Therefore, ...

Image fusion is one of the most useful term related to digital image processing, computer vision and medical imaging. The objective of image fusion is to extract the useful information from several images into a single image. Recently, more research has been done on wavelet based image fusion methods for medical application. Wavelet transform is useful for objects with point singularities and a...

In this paper authors describe the Curvelet representation of image (object) with dominant angular subbands in Curvelet domain and analyse about the energy distribution for each subbands at different angles. Curvelet transform is localized not only in position (the spatial domain) and scale (the frequency domain), but also in orientation. Here energy of dominant orientations (angles) in a given...

In this paper, we propose a novel scheme for image compression by the curvelet transform. Curve functions are effective in representing functions that have discontinuities along straight lines. Normal wavelet transforms fail to represent such functions effectively. Modification of the traditional JPEG method based on region-of-interest coding is achieved and used curvelet transform. The modific...
