In recent years, Curvelet Transform is the most preferred technique for image compression. It is proposed that an efficient and fast image compression scheme based on all level curvelet coefficients with SPIHT (Set Partitioning in Hierarchical Trees).After many passes of coding with SPIHT, it degrades the coding performance.There was a need of a transform that handles two dimensional singularit...

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...

In this paper, we propose a new no-reference VQA metric, called Video Hybrid No-reference (VHNR) method. It is based on natural video statistics built from the coefficients of 3D curvelet and cosine transforms. VHNR can blindly predict the quality of noisy, blurry, or MPEG2 compressed videos and requires no original reference video. The 3D curvelet transform is known to be sensitive to surface ...

Localization and detecting weak signal are the challenging tasks in radar systems. Radar performance can be enhanced by mounting the receiver output signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). In this paper, a novel approach based on Curvelet transform for detecting weak radar signal is proposed. We applied the curvelet transform and modulus maximum to detect the locations of laser radar echo signal. Localizi...

This paper introduces the synchrosqueezed curvelet transform as an optimal tool for two-dimensional mode decomposition of wavefronts or banded wave-like components. The synchrosqueezed curvelet transform consists of a generalized curvelet transform with application dependent geometric scaling parameters, and a synchrosqueezing technique for a sharpened phase space representation. In the case of...

Texture classification has played an important role in many real life applications. Now, classification based on wavelet transform is being very popular. Wavelets are very effective in representing objects with isolated point singularities, but failed to represent line singularities. Recently, ridgelet transform which deal effectively with line singularities in 2-D is introduced. But images oft...

The curvelet transform as a multiscale transform has directional parameters occurs at all scales, locations, and orientations. It is superior to wavelet transform in image processing domain. This paper analyzes the characters of DSA medical image, and proposes a novel approach for DSA medical image fusion, which is using curvelet information entropy and dynamic fuzzy logic. Firstly, the image w...
