A new method which is suitable for enhancing the color microscopic image quality based on HSV color space and curvelet transform is presented in this paper. The color microscopic image is firstly divided into hue, saturation and value components from RGB color space to HSV color space through the color space conversion. The value component is decomposed by the curvelet transform. A modulus squa...

Image fusion is the process of integration of two or more source images into a single fused image. The resultant fused image is used to retain the important features of the source images. Color image fusion is the process of integrating one or more color images to enhance clarity of the image. The application of color image fusion simplifies object identification and helps in better cognition. ...

In this paper, we present the first 3D discrete curvelet transform. This transform is an extension to the 2D transform described in Candès et al.. The resulting curvelet frame preserves the important properties, such as parabolic scaling, tightness and sparse representation for singularities of codimension one. We describe three different implementations: in-core, out-of-core and MPI-based para...

Curvelet transform is a multidirectional multiscale transform that enables sparse representations for signals. Curvelet-based feature extraction for Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) naturally enables utilizing spatial locality; the use of curvelet-based feature extraction is a novel method for SAR clustering. The implemented method is based on curvelet subband Gaussian distribution parameter esti...

An approach of palmprint feature extraction based on the second frequency band curvelet coefficients is proposed in this paper. As we all know, the veins of the palmprint are the important factors to recognize the palmprint. Because curvelet transform can effectively presents the lines and curvilinear structure, we perform the curvelet transform to the palmprint image. By analyzing the features...

Curvelet is often used in image multi-scale analysis for its description ability to the image edges such as curve and line characteristics. On the basis of analyzing several common algorithms of image fusion, a new multi-focus image fusion method based on Curvelet transform is proposed according to the question of image fusion. The principle of Curvelet transform is described and the fusion rul...

This paper addresses the problem of Bangla basic character recognition. Multi-font Bangla character recognition has not been attempted previously. Twenty popular Bangla fonts have been used for the purpose of character recognition. A novel feature extraction scheme based on the digital curvelet transform is proposed. The curvelet transform, although heavily utilized in various areas of image pr...
