Non-stationary signal processing applications use standard nonredundant DWT (Discrete Wavelet Transform) which is very powerful tool. But it suffers from shift sensitivity, absence of phase information, and poor directionality. To remove out these limitations, many researchers developed extensions to the standard DWT such as WP (Wavelet Packet Transform), and SWT (Stationary Wavelet Transform)....

Wavelet transforms have become one of the most important and powerful tool of signal representation. Nowadays, it has been used in image processing, data compression, and signal processing. This paper will introduce the basic concept for Wavelet Transforms, the fast algorithm of Wavelet Transform, and some applications of Wavelet Transform. The difference between conventional Fourier Transform ...

Assessment of pavement distresses is one of the important parts of pavement management systems to adopt the most effective road maintenance strategy. In the last decade, extensive studies have been done to develop automated systems for pavement distress processing based on machine vision techniques. One of the most important structural components of computer vision is the feature extraction met...

Image super resolution concept has been introduced for image enhancement in various applications. Image enhancement is crucial operation essential for reducing different possible degradations of the captured image. More sophisticated techniques are already proposed. Wavelet transform based algorithms are widely used in many applications. Wavelet transform/s is used to extrapolate missing high f...

This paper presents a technique of digital image watermarking using DCT wavelet transform. Use of Haar wavelet is very common in watermarking. However, here DCT wavelet transform of size 256*256 is generated using existing well known orthogonal transform DCT of dimension 128*128 and 2*2. This DCT Wavelet transform is used in combination with the orthogonal transform DCT and SVD to increase the ...

Introduction: An efficient method of tomographic imaging in nuclear medicine is positron emission tomography (PET). Compared to SPECT, PET has the advantages of higher levels of sensitivity, spatial resolution and more accurate quantification. However, high noise levels in the image limit its diagnostic utility. Noise removal in nuclear medicine is traditionally based on Fourier decomposition o...

As we all know, any practical computed tomography (CT) projection data more or less contains noises. Hence, it will be inconvenient for the postprocessing of a reconstructed 3D image even when the noise in the projection data is white. The reason is that the noise in the reconstructed image may be nonwhite. X-ray transform can be applied to the three dimensional (3D) CT, depicting the relations...

With progress in radar systems, a number of methods have been developed for signal processing and detection in radars. A number of modern radar signal processing methods use time-frequency transforms, especially the wavelet transform (WT) which is a well-known linear transform. The interference canceling is one of the most important applications of the wavelet transform. In Ad-hoc detection met...
