Application of the 2-d Wavelet Transform to Astrophysical Images
نویسندگان
چکیده
The 2-D continuous wavelet transform has been applied to a number of problems in astrophysics. We survey quickly some of these, then focus on two new applications. The first one is the automatic detection and analysis of special objects from the solar corona in the data taken by the EIT instrument aboard the SoHO satellite. The second problem is the detection of gamma sources in the Universe, the difficulty lying in the discrimination of faint sources against a highly nonuniform background and the large number of sources (to be) measured by satellites like EGRET and GLAST.

Planelet Transform: A New Geometrical Wavelet for Compression of Kinect-like Depth Images
With the advent of cheap indoor RGB-D sensors, proper representation of piecewise planar depth images is crucial toward an effective compression method. Although there exist geometrical wavelets for optimal representation of piecewise constant and piecewise linear images (i.e. wedgelets and platelets), an adaptation to piecewise linear fractional functions which correspond to depth variation ov...
متن کاملDe-Noising SPECT Images from a Typical Collimator Using Wavelet Transform
Introduction: SPECT is a diagnostic imaging technique the main disadvantage of which is the existence of Poisson noise. So far, different methods have been used by scientists to improve SPECT images. The Wavelet Transform is a new method for de-noising which is widely used for noise reduction and quality enhancement of images. The purpose of this paper is evaluation of noise reduction in SPECT ...
متن کاملAssessment of the Wavelet Transform for Noise Reduction in Simulated PET Images
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...

متن کاملTexture Classification of Diffused Liver Diseases Using Wavelet Transforms
Introduction: A major problem facing the patients with chronic liver diseases is the diagnostic procedure. The conventional diagnostic method depends mainly on needle biopsy which is an invasive method. There are some approaches to develop a reliable noninvasive method of evaluating histological changes in sonograms. The main characteristic used to distinguish between the normal...
