An image resolution enhancement technique based on interpolation of the high frequency subband images obtained by discrete wavelet transform (DWT) and the input image. The edges are enhanced by introducing an intermediate stage by using stationary wavelet transform (SWT). DWT is applied in order to decompose an input image into different subbands. Then the high frequency subbands as well as the...

In this paper, we propose a novel method for facial feature extraction using the directional multiresolution decomposition offered by the complex wavelet transform. The dual-tree implementation of complex wavelet transform offered by Selesnick is used (DT-DWT(S)) [I.W., Selesnick, R.G. Baraniuk, N.C. Kingsbury, The dual-tree complex wavelet transform, IEEE Signal Processing Magazine, 6, s.l., I...

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...

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...

This paper discusses the application of complex discrete wavelet transform (CDWT) which has significant advantages over real wavelet transform for certain signal processing problems. CDWT is a form of discrete wavelet transform, which generates complex coefficients by using a dual tree of wavelet filters to obtain their real and imaginary parts. The paper is divided into three sections. The fir...

In this paper, we propose a hybrid IBTC-DWT encoding a digital image. The method combines the simple computation and edge preservation prosperities of interpolative block truncation coding(IBTC) and high compression ratio of discrete wavelet transform(DWT), implemented with significantly lower coding delay than DWT alone, and to achieve a reduced bit rate is also proposed and investigated. In t...

The Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) is an important transform with many signal processing applications, most notably, compression. Many architectures have been proposed to perform DWT, but few address the precision of the coefficients necessary to ensure perfect reconstruction. The goal of this work is to experimentally determine the precision of the filter coefficients (for an orthogonal wave...

There are a lot of wavelet-based approaches in digital image watermarking literature. In these approaches, the main issue is selection method of wavelet sub-bands’ coefficients and embedding algorithm. In this approach, an entropy-based method is proposed for non-blind watermarking of still gray level images using discrete wavelet transform. In our approach, we have also used the Discrete Wavel...

Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) has demonstrated far superior to previous Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) and standard JPEG in natural as well as medical image compression. Due to its localization properties both in special and transform domain, the quantization error introduced in DWT does not propagate globally as in DCT. Moreover, DWT is a global approach that avoids block artifacts as in t...

-Steganography method used in this paper is based on biometrics. And the biometric feature used to implement steganography is skin tone region of images. Here secret data is embedded within skin region of image that will provide an excellent secure location for data hiding. For this skin tone detection is performed using HSV (Hue, Saturation and Value) color space. Additionally secret data embe...
