The proliferation of digitized media due to the rapid growth of networked multimedia systems, has created an urgent need for copyright enforcement technologies that can protect copyright ownership of multimedia objects. Digital image watermarking is one such technology that has been developed to protect digital images from illegal manipulations. In particular, digital image watermarking algorit...

Color image enhancement is a very important pre-processing stage in face detection and face recognition applications especially when the environment is very dark. In this paper, a color color image enhancement with the adaptive filter and discrete wavelet transform (DWT) is proposed. Discrete wavelet transform is used to improve image enhancement and stationary wavelet transform is used to redu...

This paper presents a novel architecture for a Residue Number System (RNS) based 1D 5/3 Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) implementation by using a combination of Filter Bank (FB) and Lifting Scheme (LS). It is designed to modify the architecture of existing binary lifting scheme based 5/3 DWT and RNS based Filter Bank (FB) 5/3 DWT. In this proposed architecture, non-binary RNS arithmetic operat...

In many applications, old data in time series become less important as time elapses, which is a big challenge to traditional techniques for dimension reduction. To improve Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) for effective dimension reduction in this kind of applications, a new method, largest-latest-DWT, is designed by keeping the largest k coefficients out of the latest w coefficients at each lev...

In this paper, a digital image watermarking technique combining Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) and Discrete Fractional Fourier Transform (DFRFT) has been investigated. This is a non-blind watermarking technique that exploits multi-resolution sub-band decomposition property of DWT and applies DFRFT on selected sub-bands in DWT-transformed image. The performance of this algorithm under various ...

A novel vowel feature extraction method via hybrid wavelet and linear prediction coding (LPC) is presented here. The proposed Arabic vowels recognition system is composed of very promising techniques; wavelet transform (WT) with linear prediction coding (LPC) for feature extraction and feed forward backpropagation neural network (FFBPNN) for classification. Trying to enhance the recognition pro...

During the last few decades, there is the continuous development of networking across the globe which simplified their path in data communication, multimedia signal processing and so on. It also ensures there is an effective need of copyright protection in multimedia processing. These data are actually very easy to hack: information becomes vulnerable to interception, copying, tampering or corr...

Image Resolution enhancement (RE) schemes which are based on wavelets have an advantage over conventional methods which suffer from the losing of high frequency contents which causes blurring. The discrete wavelet transform-based (DWT) RE scheme generates artifacts due to a DWT shift-variant property. A wavelet-domain approach based on double density dual-tree complex wavelet transform (DDDT-CW...

The two-band discrete wavelet transform (DWT) provides an octave-band analysis in the frequency domain, but this might not be “optimal” for a given signal. The discrete wavelet packet transform (DWPT) provides a dictionary of bases over which one can search for an optimal representation (without constraining the analysis to an octave-band one) for the signal at hand. However, it is well known t...

In this paper, we present a new predictive hybrid model using discrete wavelet transform (DWT), and the artificial neural network (ANN) to reduce the bullwhip effect of demand in supply chain to obtain a real amount of final customer demand. Also, we compare our result with more comprehensive sample of previous research to extend the scope of our study. In this new research our methodology is c...
