In order to distinguish the sharpening operation in a manipulated image, a sharpen forgeries detection algorithm is proposed. Combined with efficient image signal processing method, a new non-subsampled dyadic contourlet transform based on contrast à trous wavelet is designed. In contourlet domain, sharpening characteristics are analyzed by multi-scale and multi-directional methods. A classifie...

The network’s convenience has created a copyright dilemma for some multimedia works. Nowadays, every healthcare system relies on digital medical images diagnosis. These are transmitted through communication channels, so there is risk of tampering and violation. A watermarking can ensure guarantee that violation prevented. This study presents nonblind approach to X-ray based Contourlet...

Pansharpening is a technique that fuses the information of a low resolution multispectral image (MS) and a high resolution panchromatic image (PAN), usually remote sensing images, to provide a high resolution multispectral image. In the literature, this task has been addressed from different points of view being one of the most popular the wavelets based algorithms. Recently, the contourlet tra...

------------------------------------------------------------------ABSTRACT--------------------------------------------------------------Although the wavelet transform is powerful in representing images containing smooth areas separated with edges, it cannot perform well when the edges are smooth curves. Wavelets are less effective for images where singularities are located both in space and dir...

This study proposes a new image de-nosing algorithm based on Non-Subsampled Contourlet Transform (NSCT) domain in multi-Bessel k form model. Firstly, the noisy image is decomposed into a set of multi-scale and multidirectional frequency sub-bands by NSCT, according to BKF model to scale coefficient of intra-scale and inter-scale processing, fully considering correlation of internal and external...

Combined with image processes under microbeam analysis,and based on analyzing the feature of electron probe deeply,the paper presents an optimized method based on Contourlet-lifting wavelet transform and regional variance.firstly,to get the fused image before Contourlet fusion based on regional variance,and then the processing image and the target image will be fused under lifting wavelet trans...

Aiming at the problem that how to improve the accuracy of image registration, this paper presents an approach for image registration based on mutual information and non-subsampled contourlet transform. First of all, the reference image and the floating image are decomposed with nonsubsampled contourlet transform. Secondly, register approximate component of the floating image from the highest le...
