In this paper, a new active noise control technique which combines a hybrid active noise control technique and a subband active noise control technique is presented. To reduce the computational burden the active noise control system, a weighted hybrid control technique is applied. This algorithm shows higher stability and good noise attenuation property in either broad band or narrow band active noise control systems in HVAC ducts. Computer simulations were performed to show the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

This paper proposes a novel postprocessing algorithm for reducing the blocking artifacts in low bit rate block-based transform coded images, that use adaptive neural network filter (NNF) in wavelet transform domain. n this algorithm, after performing a 2-level wavelet transform of the decompressed image, the existence of locking artifacts is determined using statistical characteristic of neighborhood blocks. And then a different one-dimensional (1-D) or 2-D NNF is used to reduce the locking artifacts according to the classified regions. That is, for HL and LH subbands regions with the blocking artifacts, a different 1-D NNF is used. And 2-D NNF is used in HH subband. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm produced better results than those of conventional algorithms both subjectively and objectively.

In general text compression techniques cannot be used directly in image compression because the model of text and image are different Recently, a new class of text compression, namely, block-sorting algorithm which involves Burrows and Wheeler transformation(BWT) gives excellent results in text compression. However, if we apply it directly into image compression, the result is poor. So, we propose simple method in order to improve the lossless compression performance of image. The proposed method can be divided into three steps. It is decomposed into ten subbands with the help of symmetric short kernel filter. The resulting subbands are block-sorted according to the method by BWT, and the redundancy is removed with the help of an adaptive arithmetic coder. Experimental results show that the proposed method is better than lossless JPEG and LZ-based compression method(PKZIP).

In this paper, we propose the image retrieval method based on object regions using bidirectional round filter in the wavelet transform domain. A conventional method that includes unnecessary background information reduce retrieval efficiency, because of the extraction of feature vectors from the whole region of subband. On proposed method, it extracts accurate feature vectors and keep certainly retrieval efficiency in case of reduced feature vectors, because of the extraction of feature vectors from the only extracted object region. Furthermore, it improve retrieval efficiency by removing unnecessary background information. Consequently, the retrieval efficiency is improved with 2.5%∼5.5% values, which have a little chances to vary according to characteristics of image.

In this paper, we propose a method of compressing digital hologram standardized data provided by JPEG Pleno. In numerical reconstruction of digital holograms, the addition of random phases for visualization reduces speckle noise due to interference and doubles the compression efficiency of holograms. Holograms are composed of completely complex floating point data, and due to ultra-high resolution and speckle noise, it is essential to develop a compression technology tailored to the characteristics of the hologram. First, frequency characteristics of hologram data are analyzed using various wavelet filters to analyze energy concentration according to filter types. Second, we introduce the subband selection algorithm using energy concentration. Finally, the JPEG2000, SPIHT, H.264 results using the Daubechies 9/7 wavelet filter of JPEG2000 and the proposed method are used to compress and restore, and the efficiency is analyzed through quantitative quality evaluation compared to the compression rate.

This paper presents multipurpose watermarking scheme in coutourlet transform domain for copyright protection, authentication and transform detection. Since contourlet transform can detect more multi direction edge and smooth contour than wavelet transform, the proposed scheme embeds multi watermarks in contourlet domain based on 4-level Laplacian pyramid and 2-level directional filter bank. In the first stage of the robust watermarking scheme for copyright protection, we generates the sequence of circle patterns according to watermark bits and projects these patterns into the average of magnitude coefficients of high frequency directional subbands. Then the watermark bit is embedded into variance distribution of the projected magnitude coefficients. In the second stage that is the semi-fragile watermarking scheme for authentication and transform detection, we embed the binary watermark image in the low frequency subband of higher level by using adaptive quantization modulation scheme. From the evaluation experiment using Checkmark 2.1, we verified that the proposed scheme is superior to the conventional scheme in a view of the robustness and the invisibility.
