Orthogonal wavelet tansform which is generally used in image and signal processing applications has limited performance because of lack of shift invariance and low directional selectivity. To overcome these demerits complex wavelet transform has been proposed. In this paper, we present an efficient image denoising method using dual-tree complex wavelet transform and Bernoulli-Gauss prior model. In estimating hyper-parameters for Bernoulli-Gaussian model, we present two simple and non-iterative methods. We use hypothesis-testing technique in order to estimate the mixing parameter, Bernoulli random variable. Based on the estimated mixing parameter, variance for clean signal is obtained by using maximum generalized marginal likelihood (MGML) estimator. We simulate our denoising method using dual-tree complex wavelet and compare our algorithm to well blown denoising schemes. Experimental results show that the proposed method can generate good denoising results for high frequency image with low computational cost.

본 논문에서는 초고해상도를 갖는 복소 홀로그램을 압축하기 위한 전용 코덱에서 SPIHT(set partitioning in hierarchical trees)를 사용할 경우에 발생할 수 있는 문제점을 해결하기 위한 방법을 제안한다. 복소 홀로그램을 위한 코덱의 개발은 크게 전용 압축 방법을 만드는 방법과 HEVC 및 JPEG2000과 같은 앵커 코덱을 이용하고 전후처리 기법을 추가하는 방법으로 구분될 수 있다. 전용 압축 방법을 만드는 경우에, 복소 홀로그램의 공간적인 특성이 매우 독특하기 때문에 이 신호를 해석하기 위한 별도의 변환 도구가 필요하다. 많은 연구들에서 웨이블릿 변환이 여기에 좋은 대안이 될 수 있다는 것을 보여왔다. 웨이블릿 변환을 사용할 경우에 압축을 위해서 EZW, EBCOT 그리고 SPIHT를 사용할 수 있다. EBCOT의 경우에 복잡도가 너무 높고, EZW으 경우에는 성능이 좋지 않다. 따라서 SPIHT는 좋은 대안이 될 수 있을 것이다. 그러나 EZW와 SPIHT 같은 부대역 단위의 제로트리 기반의 알고리즘들은 고해상도의 영상에 대해서 고압축으로 코딩할 경우에 비트스트림 제어 시 온전한 부대역의 정보가 제대로 전송되지 못하는 문제점을 갖는다. 본 논문에서는 웨이블릿 부대역의 분할 방법을 이용하여 이와 같은 문제를 해결하기 위한 시도를 하였다.

This paper proposes a method to solve problems that may occur when SPIHT(set partition in hierarchical trees) is used in a dedicated codec for compressing complex holograms with ultra-high resolution. The development of codecs for complex holograms can be largely divided into a method of creating dedicated compression methods and a method of using anchor codecs such as HEVC and JPEG2000 and adding post-processing techniques. In the case of creating a dedicated compression method, a separate conversion tool is required to analyze the spatial characteristics of complex holograms. Zero-tree-based algorithms in subband units such as EZW and SPIHT have a problem that when coding for high-resolution images, intact subband information is not properly transmitted during bitstream control. This paper proposes a method of dividing wavelet subbands to solve such a problem. By compressing each divided subbands, information throughout the subbands is kept uniform. The proposed method showed better restoration results than PSNR compared to the existing method.

This paper addresses a hybrid multi-focus image fusion scheme using the recent curvelet transform constructions. Hybridization is obtained by combining the MS fusion rule with a novel "copy" method. The proposed scheme use MS rule to fuse the m most significant terms in spectrum of an image at each decomposition level. The scheme is dubbed in this work as m-term fusion in adherence to its use of the MSC (most significant coefficients) in the transform set at any given scale, orientation, and translation. We applied the edge-sensitive objective quality measure proposed by Xydeas and Petrovic to evaluate the method. Experimental results show that the proposed scheme is a potential alternative to the redundant, shift-invariant Dual-Tree Complex Wavelet transforms. In particular, it was confirmed that a 50% m-term fusion produces outputs with no visible quality degradation.

In this paper, we propose a pre-processing scheme for improving indoor positioning accuracy in impulsive noise channel environments. The impulsive noise can be generated by multi-path fading effects by complicated indoor structures or interference environments, which causes an increase in demodulation error probability. The proposed pre-processing scheme is performed before a triangulation method to calculate user's position, and providing reliable input data demodulated from a received signal to the triangulation method. Therefore, we studied and proposed an adaptive threshold function for mitigation of the impulsive noise based on wavelet denoising. Through results of computer simulations for the proposed scheme, we confirmed that Bit Error Rate and Signal-to-Noise Ratio performance is improved compared to conventional schemes.
