A tumor is abnormal tissue that develops by uncontrolled cell division. Regular cells develop in a controlled manner as new cells supplant old or harmed ones. For reasons not completely comprehended, tumor cells reproduce uncontrollably. To exact identification of size and area of brain tumor assumes an indispensable part in the diagnosis of tumors. Initially, wavelet and contourlet transforms ...

This paper provides a comparative study of the performance of different Transform Domain filters like Wavelet, Contourlet, Bandelet and Curvelet with Firefly Algorithm (FA) applied to despeckle Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images. Initially the feature enhancement and edge detection of speckled SAR image are integrated with improved gain function by shrinking and stretching the Wavelet Co-eff...

In this paper we propose an image steganography technique which embeds secret data without making explicit modifications to the image. The proposed method simultaneously provides both imperceptibility and undetectability. We decompose image by contourlet transform and determine nonsmooth regions. Embedding data in these regions cause less degradation in image quality. Contourlet sub-bands are d...

In this paper, performance analysis of digital image watermarking using contourlet transform is proposed. The ease of digital media modification and dissemination necessitates content protection beyond encryption.So information's are hidden as digital watermarks in multimedia enables protection mechanism in decrypted contents. Among emergent applications of digital watermarking, owner identific...

In order to distinguish the sharpening operation in a manipulated image, a sharpen forgeries detection algorithm is proposed. Combined with efficient image signal processing method, a new non-subsampled dyadic contourlet transform based on contrast à trous wavelet is designed. In contourlet domain, sharpening characteristics are analyzed by multi-scale and multi-directional methods. A classifie...

This paper proposed a robust public-key watermarking algorithm based on contourlet transform and its application in coal mining information construction combining the practice. A solution scheme combining the robust watermarking technology and Hash algorithm was proposed to meet the robustness and security requirements of the Electric Equipment Operation Tickets (EEOT). The scheme used the cert...

Iris recognition a new biometric technology has great advantages such as variability, stability and security. In this paper we propose a new feature extraction method for iris recognition based on contourlet transform. Contourlet transform captures the intrinsic geometrical structures of iris image. It decomposes the iris image into a set of directional subbands with texture details captured in...
