چکیده
This paper addresses the properties of a subclass of sigmoid-based shrinkage functions: the non zeroforcing smooth sigmoid-based shrinkage functions or SigShrink functions. It provides a SURE optimization for the parameters of the SigShrink functions. The optimization is performed on an unbiased estimation risk obtained by using the functions of this subclass. The SURE SigShrink performance measurements are compared to those of the SURELET (SURE linear expansion of thresholds) parameterization. It is shown that the SURE SigShrink performs well in comparison to the SURELET parameterization. The relevance of SigShrink is the physical meaning and the flexibility of its parameters. The SigShrink functions performweak attenuation of data with large amplitudes and stronger attenuation of data with small amplitudes, the shrinkage process introducing little variability among data with close amplitudes. In the wavelet domain, SigShrink is particularly suitable for reducing noise without impacting significantly the signal to recover. A remarkable property for this class of sigmoid-based functions is the invertibility of its elements. This propertymakes it possible to smoothly tune contrast (enhancement, reduction).

Smooth Adaptation by Sigmoid Shrinkage
This work addresses the properties of a sub-class of sigmoid based shrinkage functions: the non zeroforcing smooth sigmoid based shrinkage functions or SigShrink functions.

The SURE SigShrink performance me...
متن کاملWavelet shrinkage: unification of basic thresholding functions and thresholds
This work addresses the unification of some basic functions and thresholds used in nonparametric estimation of signals by shrinkage in the wavelet domain. The Soft and Hard thresholding functions are presented as degenerate smooth sigmoid based shrinkage functions. The shrinkage achieved by this new family of sigmoid based functions is then shown to be equivalent to a regularisation of wavelet ...
متن کاملSteganography in 3 D Geometries and Images by Adjacent BinMapping Hao - TianWu and Jean - Luc Dugelay ( EURASIPMember )
A steganographic method called adjacent bin mapping (ABM) is presented. Firstly, it is applied to 3D geometries by mapping the coordinates within two adjacent bins for data embedding. When applied to digital images, it becomes a kind of LSB hiding, namely the LSB algorithm. In order to prevent the detection using a metric named histogram tail, the hiding is performed in a pseudorandom order. Th...
متن کاملDetection threshold for non-parametric estimation
A new threshold is presented for better estimating a signal by sparse transform and soft thresholding. This threshold derives from a non-parametric statistical approach dedicated to the detection of a signal with unknown distribution and unknown probability of presence in independent and additive white Gaussian noise. This threshold is called the detection threshold and is particularly appropri...
