In this paper, a novel road extraction method using Stationary Wavelet Transform is proposed. To detect road features from color aerial satellite imagery, Mexican hat Wavelet filters are used by applying the Stationary Wavelet Transform in a multiresolution, multi-scale, sense and forming the products of Wavelet coefficients at a different scales to locate and identify road features at a few sc...

introduction: an efficient method of tomographic imaging in nuclear medicine is positron emission tomography (pet). compared to spect, pet has the advantages of higher levels of sensitivity, spatial resolution and more accurate quantification. however, high noise levels in the image limit its diagnostic utility. noise removal in nuclear medicine is traditionally based on fourier decomposition o...

Biorthogonal wavelet transform has been widely used in the fields of image denoising and image coding. It is usually realized by linear phase filters. All phase digital filter is a new type of linear phase digital filter which has been proposed in recent years and has frequency structure. On the basis of analyzing principle of biorthogonal wavelet transform and discrete cosine sequency filter (...

The wavelet transform is a widely used time-frequency tool for signal processing. However, with some rare exceptions, its use in signal processing is limited to discrete-time critically sampled transforms, which are particular cases of subband coding. On the other hand, interest in continuous wavelet analyses has been repeatedly demonstrated in the literature. However, implementation challenges...

In this paper an improved speckle noise reduction method is presented based on wavelet transform. A 2D Gaussian function is found to be the best model fitted to the speckle noise pattern cross-section in the logarithmically transformed noisy image. Therefore, a Gaussian low pass filter using a trous algorithm has been used to decompose the image. A Bayesian estimator is applied to the wavelet c...

corrosion of reinforcing steel and other embedded metals is the main cause of severe deterioration in reinforced concrete structures which subsequently imposes adverse effects on ultimate and serviceability limit state performance of the whole structure. in this paper, a new corrosion detection method for reinforced concrete beams, based on wavelet analysis is presented. to evaluate the capabil...

The fast development of digital image processing leads to the growth of feature extraction of images which leads to the development of Image fusion. Image fusion is defined as the process of combining two or more different images into a new single image retaining important features from each image with extended information content. There are two approaches to image fusion, namely Spatial Fusion...

Image segmentation is one of the vital steps in Image processing. It is a challenging task in segmenting MRI(Magnetic Resonance Imaging) images because these images have no linear features. But MRI images provide high quality when compared to any other imaging techniques, so it is best suited for clinical diagnosis, biomedical research, etc. This paper presents a novel approach for segmenting M...
