In recent years, watermarking has become an attractive field in areas like copyright protection, image authentication and biomedical engineering. Many literatures have reported about discrete wavelet transform (DWT) watermarking techniques for data security. However, DWT based watermarking schemes are found to be less robust against image processing attacks. In this paper, an attempt is made to...

In this paper we discuss several issues relevant to the parallel implementation of a 2-D Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) on general purpose multiprocessors. Our interest in this transform is motivated by its usage in an image fusion application which has to manage large image sizes, making parallel computing highly advisable. We have also paid much attention to memory hierarchy exploitation, s...

Video compression is a process of eliminating redundancy and irrelevant information for efficient storage and transmission. Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) and Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) are the popular transforms used for efficient compression. DCT has high energy compaction and requires less computational resources. In this paper, a novel method is proposed combining DCT, DWT and Arithm...

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...

Non-stationary signal processing applications use standard nonredundant DWT (Discrete Wavelet Transform) which is very powerful tool. But it suffers from shift sensitivity, absence of phase information, and poor directionality. To remove out these limitations, many researchers developed extensions to the standard DWT such as WP (Wavelet Packet Transform), and SWT (Stationary Wavelet Transform)....

In this paper we propose three robust and semi-blind digital color image watermarking algorithms. These algorithms are based on hybrid transforms using the combination of Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) and Singular Value Decomposition (SVD), Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) and Singular Value Decomposition (SVD), Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT), Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) and Singular Va...

Signal decomposition methods like Wavelet Transform (WT) have been widely used in a large set of applications such as image, speech and biomedical signal processing, reporting good results. In this paper, two versions of the WT are analyzed: the Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) and the Wavelet Packets (WP). The DWT is implemented by means of a filter bank with a fixed structure that provides a ...

The dual-tree complex wavelet transform (CWT) is a relatively recent enhancement of the discrete wavelet transform (DWT) with important additional properties: It is nearly shift-invariant and directionally selective in two and higher dimensions. It achieves this with a redundancy factor of only 2 for d-dimensional signals, which is substantially lower than the undecimated DWT. The multidimensio...

This paper deals with the video encoding techniques using Spatial and Temporal DWT (Discrete Wavelet transform). Here we will discuss about two video encoding mechanisms and their performance at different levels of DWT. Memory is the major criteria for any video processing algorithm. So, in this paper we will focus on the efficient utilization of the system memory at increased level of spatial ...

This paper explains the effect of various multi-wavelet interpolation methods on digital images to enhance the resolution of the images. A high resolution image is a major challenge for any image processing application, especially in defense and medical scenario. Here resolution enhancement technique is done in wavelet domain using multi-wavelets and interpolation methods. Visual perception of ...
