چکیده

The two-dimensional (2-D) fractional Brownian motion (fBm) model is useful in describing natural scenes and textures. Most fractal estimation algorithms for 2-D isotropic fBm images are simple extensions of the one-dimensional (1-D) fBm estimation method. This method does not perform well when the image size is small (say, 32x32). We propose a new algorithm that estimates the fractal parameter from the decay of the variance of the wavelet coefficients across scales. Our method places no restriction on the wavelets. Also, it provides a robust parameter estimation for small noisy fractal images. For image denoising, a Wiener filter is constructed by our algorithm using the estimated parameters and is then applied to the noisy wavelet coefficients at each scale. We show that the averaged power spectrum of the denoised image is isotropic and is a nearly 1/f process. The performance of our algorithm is shown by numerical simulation for both the fractal parameter and the image estimation. Applications to coastline detection and texture segmentation in a noisy environment are also demonstrated.

Estimation of fractional Brownian motion embedded in a noisy environment using nonorthogonal wavelets

We show that non orthogonal wavelets can characterize the frac tional Brownian motion fBm that is in white noise We demonstrate the point that discriminating the parameter of a fBm from that of noise is equivalent to discriminating the composite singularity formed by superimposing a peak singularity upon a Dirac singularity We characterize the composite singularity by formalizing this problem a...

A wavelet method for stochastic Volterra integral equations and its application to general stock model

In this article,we present a wavelet method for solving stochastic Volterra integral equations based on Haar wavelets. First, we approximate all functions involved in the problem by Haar Wavelets then, by substituting the obtained approximations in the problem, using the It^{o} integral formula and collocation points then, the main problem changes into a system of linear or nonlinear equation w...
