JPEG-2000 is the latest image coding standard and is based on wavelet transforms and dyadic spectral decompositions. We have adapted the JPEG-2000 image coder for use with uniform transforms, by replacing the wavelet stage by lapped transforms. We set code-blocks that do not cross subband boundaries and encode the lapped transform coefficients directly as if they were wavelet ones. Results indi...

This study investigates the usefulness of wavelet transforms in phoneme recognition. Both discrete wavelet transforms (DWT) and sampled continuous wavelet transforms (SCWT) are tested. The wavelet transform is used as a part of the front-end processor which extracts feature vectors for a speakerindependent HMM-based phoneme recognizer. The results are evaluated on a portion of TIMIT corpus cons...

Invertible wavelet transforms that map integers to integers have important applications in lossless coding. In this paper we present two approaches to build integer to integer wavelet transforms. The first approach is to adapt the precoder of Laroia et al., which is used in information transmission; we combine it with expansion factors for the high and low pass band in subband filtering. The se...

The goal of Iris recognition is to recognize human identity through the textural characteristics of one’s Iris muscular patterns. Iris recognition has been acknowledged as one of the most accurate biometric modalities because of its high recognition rate. Here performance comparison among various proposed techniques of Iris Recognition using the fractional coefficients of transformed Iris image...

In this paper, we study the continuity properties of wavelet transforms in the Gelfand-Shilov spaces with the use of a vanishing moment condition. Moreover, we also compute the Fourier transforms and the wavelet transforms of concrete functions in the Gelfand-Shilov spaces.

We study the segmentation of SAR imagery using wavelet-domain Hidden Markov Tree (HMT) models. The HMT model is a tree-structured probabilistic graph that captures the statistical properties of the wavelet transforms of images. This technique has been successfully applied to the segmentation of natural texture images, documents, etc. However, SAR image segmentation poses a diicult challenge owi...

We examine the use of wavelet packets for the fast solution of integral equations with a highly oscillatory kernel. The redundancy of the wavelet packet transform allows the selection of a basis tailored to the problem at hand. It is shown that a well chosen wavelet packet basis is better suited to compress the discretized system than wavelets. The complexity of the matrix–vector product in an ...

This paper presents simple wavelet based image compression method where wavelet transform is generated from orthogonal component transforms. Wavelets of DCT, DST and Real-DFT and Discrete Hartley Transform (DHT) are generated. Each generated wavelet transform is applied separately on R, G, and B plane of 256x256x3 colour image. Performance of these wavelet transforms is evaluated using two para...
