In recent years, the Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) has become a powerful tool in many areas, such as image compression and analysis, texture discrimination, fractal analysis, pattern recognition and so on. Due to the localization property both in time and frequency domain, wavelet transform is more efficient than Short Time Fourier Transform (STFT) or Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) in de-co...

Abstract— In this paper we propose an effective, robust and imperceptible video watermarking algorithm by applying DWT (Discrete Wavelet transform) on video frames. The video frames will be first decomposed using DWT and the binary watermark will be embedded in the wavelet coefficients. The experimental results demonstrate that the propose algorithm can produce watermarked contents in good visu...

Standard DWT (Discrete Wavelet Transform), being non-redundant, is a very powerful tool for many non-stationary Signal Processing applications, but it suffers from three major limitations; 1) shift sensitivity, 2) poor directionality, and 3) absence of phase information. To reduce these limitations, many researchers developed real-valued extensions to the standard DWT such as WP (Wavelet Packet...

The properties of Wavelet Transform can be successfully applied for analysis and processing of non stationary signals e.g., speech and image processing, data compression and communications. Due to the growing number of applications in various areas, it is necessary to explore the hardware implementation options of the Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT). The Wavelet Series is just a sampled versio...

In this paper a novel invisible robust watermarking scheme for embedding and extracting a digital watermark in an image is presented. The novelty lies in determining perceptually important coefficients of transform in the host image using simple Haar Wavelet Transform (HWT) and Genetic Algorithm(GA)-Particle Swarm Optimization(PSO) based hybrid optimization. Invisible watermark is embedded such...

In this paper, a new method is proposed for improving the fundamental extraction by wavelet transform. This method uses the discrete wavelet transform (DWT), FIR filter and inverse discrete wavelet transform (IDWT). In the proposed method, frequency interference is allowed to occur at the extracted frequency bands by DWT. DWT output signal is filtered by FIR then the IDWT is used to reconstruct...

Work discussed in this paper is related to the denoising of a CT image before further using it. In order to attain the objective Dual Tree Discrete Wavelet Transform (DT-DWT) and wiener filter are being used to remove the noise that are either introduced in the image during capturing or injected into the image during transmission. The DT-DWT has an excellent performance in the denoising field a...

The Discrete wavelet transform (DWT) has gained widespread acceptance in signal processing and image compression. Because of their inherent multi-resolution nature, wavelet-coding schemes are especially suitable for applications where scalability and tolerable degradation are important. Most of the DWT architectures utilize pipelining and combinational logic design to reduce power and chip size...
