In this paper, a watermarking algorithm that uses the wavelet transform with Multiple Description Coding (MDC) and Quantization Index Modulation (QIM) concepts is introduced. Also, the paper investigates the role of Contourlet Transform (CT) versus Wavelet Transform (WT) in providing robust image watermarking. Two measures are utilized in the comparison between the waveletbased and the contourl...

This paper study the application of wavelet transform and fractal theory in image coding. The image coding based on wavelet transform has been studied firstly, Then, the paper make a research of fractal theory counterpart. After that, this paper research the hybrid compression coding based on wavelet transform and fractal theory, also make simulation experiment of three image coding ways mentio...

The capabilities of Sentinel-2A imagery to determine bathymetric information in shallow coastal waters were examined. In this regard, two Sentinel-2A images (acquired on February and March 2016 in calm weather and relatively low turbidity) were selected from Nayband Bay, located in the northern Persian Gulf. In addition, a precise and accurate bathymetric map for the study area were obtained an...

Noise will be unavoidable during image acquisition process and denosing is an essential step to improve the image quality. Image denoising involves the manipulation of the image data to produce a visually high quality image. Finding efficient image denoising methods is still valid challenge in image processing. Wavelet denoising attempts to remove the noise present in the imagery while preservi...
