基于Gabor小波的纹理图像分类(英文)

For a texture image, by recognizining the class of every pixel of the image, it can be partitioned into disjoint regions of uniform texture. This paper proposed a texture image classification algorithm based on Gabor wavelet. In this algorithm, characteristic of every image is obtained through every pixel and its neighborhood of this image. And this algorithm can achieve the information transform between different sizes of neighborhood.Experiments on standard Brodatz texture image dataset show that our proposed algorithm can achieve good classification rates.     

Image inpainting using complex 2-D dual-tree wavelet transform

The dual-tree complex wavelet transform is a useful tool in signal and image processing. In this paper, we propose a dual-tree complex wavelet transform (CWT) based algorithm for image inpainting problem. Our approach is based on Cai, Chan, Shen and Shen’s framelet-based algorithm. The complex wavelet transform outperforms the standard real wavelet transform in the sense of shift-invariance, directionality and anti-aliasing. Numerical results illustrate the good performance of our algorithm.     

Wavelet Foveation

A foveated image is a nonuniform resolution image whose resolution is highest at a point (fovea) but falls off away from the fovea. It can be obtained from a uniform image through a space-variant smoothing process, where the width of the smoothing function is small near the fovea and gradually expanding as the distance from the fovea increases. We treat this process as an integral operator and analyze its kernel. This kernel is dominated by its diagonal in the wavelet bases and thus permits a fast algorithm for foveating images. In addition, the transformed kernel takes a simple form which can be easily computed using a look-up table. This is useful, since in applications the fovea changes rapidly. We describe an application of our approximation algorithm in image visualization over the Internet.

Image Denoising via Residual Kurtosis Minimization

A new algorithm for the removal of additive uncorrelated Gaussian noise from a digital image is presented. The algorithm is based on a data driven methodology for the adaptive thresholding of wavelet coefficients. This methodology is derived from higher order statistics of the residual image, and requires no a priori estimate of the level of noise contamination of an image.     

Wavelet Image Compressor—MinImage

Nowadays, still images are used everywhere in the digital world. The shortages of storage capacity and transmission bandwidth make efficient compression solutions essential. A revolutionary mathematics tool, wavelet transform, has already shown its power in image processing. MinImage, the major topic of this paper, is an application that compresses still images by wavelets. MinImage is used to compress grayscale images and true color images. It implements the wavelet transform to code standard BMP image files to LET wavelet image files, which is defined in MinImage. The code is written in C++ on the Microsoft Windows NT platform. This paper illustrates the design and implementation details in Min-Image according to the image compression stages. First, the preprocessor generates the wavelet transform blocks. Second, the basic wavelet decomposition is applied to transform the image data to the wavelet coefficients. The discrete wavelet transforms are the kernel component of MinImage and are discussed in detail. The different wavelet transforms can be plugged in to extend the functionality of MinImage. The third step is the quantization. The standard scalar quantization algorithm and the optimized quantization algorithm, as well as the dequantization, are described. The last part of MinImage is the entropy-coding schema. The reordering of the coefficients based on the Peano Curve and the different entropy coding methods are discussed. This paper also gives the specification of the wavelet compression parameters adjusted by the end user. The interface, parameter specification, and analysis of MinImage are shown in the final appendix.     

Asymptotics of generalized derangements

An adaptive wavelet-based method is proposed for solving TV(total variation)–Allen–Cahn type models for multi-phase image segmentation. The adaptive algorithm integrates (i) grid adaptation based on a threshold of the sparse wavelet representation of the locally-structured solution; and (ii) effective finite difference on irregular stencils. The compactly supported interpolating-type wavelets enjoy very fast wavelet transforms, and act as a piecewise constant function filter. These lead to fairly sparse computational grids, and relax the stiffness of the nonlinear PDEs. Equipped with this algorithm, the proposed sharp interface model becomes very effective for multi-phase image segmentation. This method is also applied to image restoration and similar advantages are observed.

Construction of parameterizations of masks for tight wavelet frames with two symmetric/antisymmetric generators and applications in image compression and denoising

In this paper, we present a general construction framework of parameterizations of masks for tight wavelet frames with two symmetric/antisymmetric generators which are of arbitrary lengths and centers. Based on this idea, we establish the explicit formulas of masks of tight wavelet frames. Additionally, we explore the transform applicability of tight wavelet frames in image compression and denoising. We bring forward an optimal model of masks of tight wavelet frames aiming at image compression with more efficiency, which can be obtained through SQP (Sequential Quadratic Programming) and a GA (Genetic Algorithm). Meanwhile, we present a new model called Cross-Local Contextual Hidden Markov Model (CLCHMM), which can effectively characterize the intrascale and cross-orientation correlations of the coefficients in the wavelet frame domain, and do research into the corresponding algorithm. Using the presented CLCHMM, we propose a new image denoising algorithm which has better performance as proved by the experiments.     

Wavelet Filtering for Filtered Backprojection in Computed Tomography

In this paper, we present a characterization of MRA biorthogonal wavelet filters with full frequency supports. Based on this characterization, it is established that wavelet ramp filters are biorthogonal wavelets if the original wavelets are sufficiently regular. An efficient subband coding algorithm is developed for wavelet filtering in filtered backprojection, which is the most popular method in computed tomography (CT). Computer simulation suggests that this wavelet filtering process is a useful tool for improving image quality and reducing computational time in local CT reconstruction.     

A robust chaotic algorithm for digital image steganography

This paper proposes a new robust chaotic algorithm for digital image steganography based on a 3-dimensional chaotic cat map and lifted discrete wavelet transforms. The irregular outputs of the cat map are used to embed a secret message in a digital cover image. Discrete wavelet transforms are used to provide robustness. Sweldens’ lifting scheme is applied to ensure integer-to-integer transforms, thus improving the robustness of the algorithm. The suggested scheme is fast, efficient and flexible. Empirical results are presented to showcase the satisfactory performance of our proposed steganographic scheme in terms of its effectiveness (imperceptibility and security) and feasibility. Comparison with some existing transform domain steganographic schemes is also presented.

Contrast enhancement for image by WNN and GA combining PSNR with information entropy

A new contrast enhancement algorithm for image is proposed combining genetic algorithm (GA) with wavelet neural network (WNN). In-complete Beta transform (IBT) is used to obtain non-linear gray transform curve so as to enhance global contrast for an image. GA determines optimal gray transform parameters. In order to avoid the expensive time for traditional contrast enhancement algorithms, which search optimal gray transform parameters in the whole parameters space, based on gray distribution of an image, a classification criterion is proposed. Contrast type for original image is determined by the new criterion. Parameters space is, respectively, determined according to different contrast types, which greatly shrink parameters space. Thus searching direction of GA is guided by the new parameter space. Considering the drawback of traditional histogram equalization that it reduces the information and enlarges noise and background blur in the processed image, a synthetic objective function is used as fitness function of GA combining peak signal-noise-ratio (PSNR) and information entropy. In order to calculate IBT in the whole image, WNN is used to approximate the IBT. In order to enhance the local contrast for image, discrete stationary wavelet transform (DSWT) is used to enhance detail in an image. Having implemented DSWT to an image, detail is enhanced by a non-linear operator in three high frequency sub-bands. The coefficients in the low frequency sub-bands are set as zero. Final enhanced image is obtained by adding the global enhanced image with the local enhanced image. Experimental results show that the new algorithm is able to well enhance the global and local contrast for image while keeping the noise and background blur from being greatly enlarged.     

Wavelets and Optical Flow Motion Estimation

This article describes the implementation of a simple wavelet-based optical-flow motion estimator dedicated to continuous motions such as fluid flows. The wavelet representation of the unknown velocity field is considered. This scale-space representation, associated to a simple gradient-based optimization algorithm, sets up a well-defined multiresolution framework for the optical flow estimation. Moreover, a very simple closure mechanism, approaching locally the solution by high-order polynomials is provided by truncating the wavelet basis at fine scales. Accuracy and efficiency of the proposed method are evaluated on image sequences of turbulent fluid flows.     

Wavelet-based image processing

The 1990s witnessed an explosion of wavelet-based methods in the field of image processing. This article will focus primarily on wavelet-based image compression. We shall describe the connection between wavelets and vision, and how wavelet techniques provide image compression algorithms that are clearly superior to the present JPEG standard. In particular, the wavelet-based algorithms known as SPIHT, ASWDR, and the new standard JPEG2000, will be described and compared. Our comparison will show that, in many respects, ASWDR is the best algorithm. Applications to denoising will also be briefly referenced and pointers supplied to other references on wavelet-based image processing.
