In this paper, we address a new time delay estimation method using third-order statistics and subband adaptive filtering to improve the accuracy of target detection for acoustic backscattered signals in a noise interference environment. Each reference and primary signals are decorrelated using the multiresolution analysis framework through a M-band discrete wavelet transform(M-DWT). Then noise effect can be reduced. Here, time delays are estimated iteratively in each subband using two different adaptation mechanisms that minimize the mean squared error (MSE) between the references and primary signal. More specifically, third-order cumulants and projection cross-correlation(PCC) criterion are utilized to achieve an effective SNR improvement for the time delay estimation.

This paper presents a shape classification method of dynamic image based on adaptive fuzzy inference. It describes the design scheme of fuzzy inference algorithm which makes it suitable for low speed systems such as conveyor, uninhabited transportation. In the first Discrete Wavelet Transform(DWT) is utilized to extract the motion vector in a sequential images. This approach provides a mechanism to simple but robust information which is desirable when dealing with an unknown environment. By using feature parameters of moving object, fuzzy if - then rule which can be able to adapt the variation of circumstances is devised. Then applying the implication function, shape classification processes are performed. Experimental results are presented to testify the performance and applicability of the proposed algorithm.

A watermark is a signal added to the original signal in order to preserve the copyright of the owner of the digital content. The basic challenge for designing a watermarking system is a dilemma between transparency and robustness. If we want a higher rate of transparency, there has to be a compromise in terms of its robustness and vice versa. Also, until now, watermarking is generalized, resulting in the need for a specialized algorithm to work for a specialized image processing application domain. Our proposed technique takes into consideration the image characteristics for watermark insertion and it optimizes transparency and robustness. It achieved a 99.98% retrieval efficiency for an image blurring attack and counterfeits other attacks. Our proposed technique counterfeits almost all of the image processing attacks.

In this paper, an efficient feature vector extraction method and MLP neural network are utilized to automatically detect and classify power quality disturbances, where the proposed classification procedure consists of the following three parts: i.e., (i) PQ disturbance detection using discrete wavelet transform. (ii) feature vector extraction from the detected disturbance. using several methods, such as FFT, DWT, Fisher's criterion. etc.. and (iii) classification of the corresponding type of each PQ disturbance by recognizing the pattern of the extracted feature vector. To demonstrate the performance and, applicability of the proposed classification algorithm. some test results obtained by analyzing 10-class PQ disturbances are also provided.

This paper proposes an efficient hardware implementation of SPIHT(Set Partitoning In Hierarchical Tree) algorithm for image compression with the discrete wavelet transform. An efficient technique to scan the coefficients which are located in partitioned spatial orientation trees by DWT is considered in terms of counter fields for sorting pass and refinement pass. The proposed image compression method using SPIHT has been modeled in VHDL and has been implemented by use of both TMS320C6000 as a DSP and Virtex2 as a Xilinx FPGA.

A wide range of IoT applications use information collected from networks of sensors for monitoring and controlling purposes. However, the frequent appearance of fault data makes it difficult to extract correct information, thereby sending incorrect commands to actuators that can threaten human privacy and safety. For this reason, it is necessary to have a mechanism to detect fault data collected from sensors. In this paper, we present a trend-adaptive multi-scale principal component analysis (Trend-adaptive MS-PCA) model for data fault detection. The proposed model inherits advantages of Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) in capturing time-frequency information and advantages of PCA in extracting correlation among sensors' data. Experimental results on a real dataset show the high effectiveness of the proposed model in data fault detection.

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.

According to the rapid development of the information and communication technology, the demand on the efficient compression technology for the multimedia data is increased magnificently. In this Paper, we designed new compression algorithm structure using wavelet base for the compression of ECG signal and audible signal data. We examined the efficiency of the compression between 2-band structure and wavelet packet structure, and investigated the efficiency and reconstruction error by wavelet base function using Daubechies wavelet coefficient and Coiflet coefficient for each structure. Finally, data were compressed further more using Huffman code, and resultant Compression Rate(CR) and Percent Root Mean Square difference(PRD) were compared with those of existent DCT.

This paper proposes a fully-utilized block-based 2D DWT architecture, which consists of four 1D DWT filters with two-channel QMF PR Lattice structure. For 100% hardware utilization, we propose a new method which processes four input values at the same time. On the contrary to the image-based 2D DWT which requires large memories, we propose a block-based 2D DWT so that we only need 2MN-3N of storages, where M and N stand for filter lengths and width of the image respectively. Furthermore, the proposed architecture processes in horizontal and vertical directions simultaneously so that it computes the DWT for an $N{\times}N$ image within a period of $N^2(1-2^{-2J})/3$. Compared to existing approaches, the proposed architecture shows 100% of hardware utilization and high throughput rate. However, the proposed architecture may suffer from the long critical path delay due to the cascaded lattices in 1D DWT filters. This problem can be mitigated by applying the pipeline technique with maximum four level. The proposed architecture has been designed with VerilogHDL and synthesized using DongbuAnam $0.18{\mu}m$ standard cell.
