It is not easy that we visualize the large volume data stored in the every client computers of the web environment. One solution is as follows. First we compress volume data, second store that in the database server, third transfer that to client computer, fourth visualize that with direct-volume-rendering in the client computer. In this case, we usually use wavelet transform for compressing large data. This paper reports the experiments for acquiring the wavelet bases and the compression ratios fit for the above processing paradigm. In this experiments, we compress the volume data Engine, CThead, Bentum into 50%, 10%, 5%, 1%, 0.1%, 0.03% of the total data respectively using Harr, Daubechies4, Daubechies12 and Daubechies20 wavelets, then visualize that with direct-volume-rendering, afterwards evaluate the images with eyes and image comparison metrics. When compression ratio being low the performance of Harr wavelet is better than the performance of the other wavelets, when compression ratio being high the performance of Daubechies4 and Daubechies12 is better than the performance of the other wavelets. When measuring with eyes the good compression ratio is about 1% of all the data, when measuring with image comparison metrics, the good compression ratio is about 5-10% of all the data.

In this paper, we suggest a method of robust watermarking for protection of multimedia data using the wavelet transform and artificial neural network. for the purpose of implementation, we decompose a original image using wavelet transform at level 3. After we classify transformed coefficients of other subbands using neural network except fur the lowest subband LL$_3$, we apply a calculated threshold about chosen cluster as the biggest. We used binary logo watermarks to make sure that it is true or not on behalf of the Gaussian Random Vector. Besides, we tested a method of dual watermark insertion and extraction. For the purpose of implementation, we decompose a original image using wavelet transform at level 3. After we classify transformed coefficients of other subbands using neural network except for the lowest subband LL$_3$, we apply a above mentioned watermark insert method. In the experimental results, we found that it has a good quality and robust about many attacks.

In this paper, we propose a wavelet neural network(WNN) based predictive control method for path tracking of mobile robots with multi-input and multi-output. In our control method, we use a WNN as a state predictor which combines the capability of artificial neural networks in learning processes and the capability of wavelet decomposition. A WNN predictor is tuned to minimize errors between the WNN outputs and the states of mobile robot using the gradient descent rule. And control signals, linear velocity and angular velocity, are calculated to minimize the predefined cost function using errors between the reference states and the predicted states. Through a computer simulation for the tracking performance according to varied track, we demonstrate the efficiency and the feasibility of our predictive control system.

In this paper, we compare the performance of wavelet OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) and FD-OFDM(Frequency diversity OFDM) system with conventional OFDM system. Wavelet OFDM system uses wavelet transform rather than Fourier transform and contains intermediate characteristics of CDM (Code Division Multiplexing) and OFDM. In wavelet OFDM system, inter-symbol interference (ISI) can be suppressed effectively and adjacent channel interference can be also minimized well. In FD-OFDM system, each parallel branch symbol is multiplied by the orthogonal sequence and distributed into all sub-carriers. Then, each sub-carrier transmits information composed of the symbol components of all parallel branches in the given frame. FD-OFDM contains the frequency diversity characteristic and, therefore, FD-OFDM can be robust to the narrowband interference. For the comparison among different systems, BER (Bit-Error Rate) performances are evaluated in the presence of narrow-band interference and a harmonic noise channel. From the evaluation results, compared to the conventional OFDM, wavelet OFDM and FD-OFDM shows better robustness against the interference and, especially, wavelet OFDM is the most robust in harmonic noise channel.

본 논문은 U-Health 장치 인터페이싱을 위하여 표면 근전도를 이용한 손동작 특징들의 모델링 알고리즘에 대하여 제안하였다. 지금까지 연구에서는 표면 근전도를 측정하기 위하여 전완의 여러 부위에서 신호를 측정하였지만 휴대용 U-Health 장치들의 특성상 센서를 부착 할 수 있는 공간이 한정 되어있기 때문에 한 채널당 손동작의 인식률이 높아야하고 착용하기 편한 위치예서 신호를 측정해야 한다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 손목 근처의 수지신근(finger extensor)과 소지신근(extensor digiti minimi) 사이에 생체신호 센서를 부착하는 것을 제안했으며, 적은 수의 센서에서도 손동작에 따른 충분한 근전도 패턴을 구분해 내기 위하여 3차원 공간상에서 시간과 스케일 정보를 분석할 수 있는 다해상도 웨이블릿을 이용하였다. 정밀한 근전도 분석을 위하여 모 웨이블릿을 신경 신호의 활동전위(action potential)와 가장 유사한 형태를 가지고 있는 Daubechies 4 (db4)로 선택하였고, 이렇게 웨이블릿 분석을 통하여 1차원 신호를 16레벨로 나누어 각 신호에 대하여 에너지를 200 ms 간격으로 평가함으로서 7가지 손동작 인식을 위한 패턴 모델을 구하였다.

This paper proposed face recognition methods about performance improvement of the face recognition using the properties of wavelet transform. Using discrete wavelet transform is Daubechies D4 filter that is similar to mother wavelet transform. For discrete wavelet transform method, In this case, by using LL subband only we can reduce processing time and amount of memory in recognition processing. To improve recognition ratio without further loss of 2 dimensional data changing, We applies 2D LDA. We perform SVM training algorithm to the feature vector obtained by 2D LDA. Experiment is performed using ORL database set and Yale database set by Matlab program. Test result shows that proposed method is superior to existence methods in recognition rate and performance time.

Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing(OFDM) is a multicarrier modulation(MCM) system that enables high-speed communications using multiple carriers and has advantages of power and spectral efficiency. Therefore, this study aims to complement the existing shortcomings and to design an efficient MCM system. The proposed system uses the inverse discrete wavelet transform(IDWT) operation instead of the inverse fast Fourier transform(IFFT) operation. The bit error rate(BER), spectral efficiency, and peak-to-average power ratio(PAPR) performance were compared with the conventional OFDM system through the OFDM system design based on wavelet transform. Our results showed that the conventional OFDM and Wavelet-OFDM exhibited the same BER performance, and that the Wavelet-OFDM using the discrete Meyer wavelet had the same spectral efficiency as the conventional OFDM. In addition, all systems of Wavelet-OFDM based on various wavelets confirm a PAPR performance lower than that of conventional OFDM.

Generally, the existing watermarking techniques for copyright protection of a digital image are fragile in geometric distortion and all watermark extractions need the same time regardless of degree of distortion. In this paper, we propose the incremental watermarking technique that used a Complex Wavelet Transform(CWT) in order to solve these problems. The proposed incremental watermarking technique embeds a watermark in a phase component after a CWT with an original image, and a watermark is extracted from an watermarked image by stages. A watermark owner can insist on copyright of an image after comparing a correlation between the extracted watermark and the original watermark if it is larger than the threshold. Also, the incremental watermark extraction determines the extraction time of a watermark by the level of distortion. The proposed technique through performance evaluation displayed that it was robust in geometric distortion than the existing watermarking technique.

In this study, we analyzed spatial-frequency relationship related brain function for change of the time during attentional visual stimulus through the analysis of Coherence. With experimentation about ERP(Event Related Potential)data, it revealed that change of the phase synchronization between different scalp locations at ${\theta}$, ${\alpha}$ band. ERP between left and right frontal lobes, between the frontal and central lobes showed the phase synchronization at the P100, N200, ERP between the frontal and occipital lobes showed the phase synchronization at the P300 related information of visual stimulus. Compared to STFT using the window of a fixed length, CWT is able to multi-resolution analysis with the adjustment of parameters of mother wavelet. Thus, coherence results with CWT was found to be effective for analysis of time-varying spatial-frequency relationship in ERP. The phase synchronization for inattentional visual stimulus was not observed.

In this paper, a new digital watermarking algorithm using wavelet transform is proposed. Wavelet transform is widely used for image processing, because of its multiresolution characteristic which conforms to the principles of the human visual system(HVS). It is also very efficient for localizing images in the spatial and frequency domain. Since wavelet coefficients can be characterized by the gaussian distribution, the proposed algorithm uses a gaussian distributed random vector as the watermark in order to achieve invisibility and robustness. After the original image is transformed using DWT(Discrete Wavelet Transform), the coefficients of all subbands including LL subband are utilized to equally embed the watermark to the whole image. To select perceptually significant coefficients for each subband, we use level-adaptive thresholding. The watermark is embedded to the selected coeffocoents, using different scale factors according to the wavelet characteristics. In the process of watermark detection, the similarity between the original watermark and the extracted watermark is calculated by using vector projection method. We analyze the performance of the proposed algorithm, compared with other transform-domain watermarking methods. The experimental results tested on various images show that the proposed watermark is less visible to human eyes and more robust to image compressions, image processings, geometric transformations and various noises, than the existing methods.
