Abstract

In this paper, we study the technique to improve the performance of the aerial images taken by UAV using daubechies stationary wavelet transform. When aerial images taken by UAV were damaged by gaussian noise very commonly applied, the experiment for image performance improvement was performed. It was known that stationary wavelet transform is the transferring solution to the problem occurred by down sampling from DWT also more efficient to remove noise than DWT. Also haar wavelet is discontinuous function so not efficient for smooth signal and image processing. Therefore, this study is confirmed that the noise can be removed by daubechies stationary wavelet and the performance is improved by haar stationary wavelet.
