In this paper we propose a new approach to the variable selection problem for a primary resolution and wavelet basis functions in wavelet regression. Most wavelet shrinkage methods focus on thresholding the wavelet coefficients, given a primary resolution which is usually determined by the sample size. However, both a primary resolution and the basis functions are affected by the shape of an unknown function rather than the sample size. Unlike existing methods, our method does not depend on the sample size and also takes into account the shape of the unknown function.

Land-use or land-cover classification of satellite images is one of the important tasks in remote sensing application and many researchers have tried to enhance classification accuracy. Previous studies have shown that the classification technique based on wavelet transform is more effective than traditional techniques based on original pixel values, especially in complicated imagery. Various basis functions such as Haar, daubechies, coiflets and symlets are mainly used in 20 image processing based on wavelet transform. Selecting adequate wavelet is very important because different results could be obtained according to the type of basis function in classification. However, it is not easy to choose the basis function which is effective to improve classification accuracy. In this study, we first computed the wavelet coefficients of satellite image using ten different basis functions, and then classified images. After evaluating classification results, we tried to ascertain which basis function is the most effective for image classification. We also tried to see if the optimum basis function is decided by energy parameter before classifying the image using all basis functions. The energy parameters of wavelet detail bands and overall accuracy are clearly correlated. The decision of optimum basis function using energy parameter in the wavelet based image classification is expected to be helpful for saving time and improving classification accuracy effectively.

Land-use or land-cover classification of satellite images is one of the important tasks in remote sensing application and many researchers have been tried to enhance classification accuracy. Previous studies show that the classification technique based on wavelet transform is more effective than that of traditional techniques based on original pixel values, especially in complicated imagery. Various wavelets can be used in wavelet transform. Wavelets are used as basis functions in representing other functions, like sinusoidal function in Fourier analysis. In these days, some basis functions such as Haar, Daubechies, Coiflets and Symlets are mainly used in 2D image processing. Selecting adequate wavelet is very important because different results could be obtained according to the type of basis function in classification. However, it is not easy to choose the basis function which is effective to improve classification accuracy. In this study, we computed the wavelet coefficients of satellite image using 10 different basis functions, and then classified test image. After evaluating classification results, we tried to ascertain which basis function is the most effective for image classification. We also tried to see if the optimum basis function is decided by energy parameter before classifying the image using all basis function. The energy parameter of signal is the sum of the squares of wavelet coefficients. The energy parameter is calculated by sub-bands after the wavelet decomposition and the energy parameter of each sub-band can be a favorable feature of texture. The decision of optimum basis function using energy parameter in the wavelet based image classification is expected to be helpful for saving time and improving classification accuracy effectively.

In the previous study, the Haar wavelet was used as the sole basis function for the 3D discrete wavelet transform because the number of bands is too small to decompose a remotely sensed image in band direction with other basis functions. However, it is possible to use other basis functions for wavelet decomposition in horizontal and vertical directions because wavelet decomposition is independently performed in each direction. This study aims to classify a high spatial resolution image with the six types of basis function including the Haar function and to compare those results. The other wavelets are more helpful to classify high resolution imagery than the Haar wavelet. In overall accuracy, the Coif4 wavelet has the best result. The improvement of classification accuracy is different depending on the type of class and the type of wavelet. Using the basis functions with long length could be effective for improving accuracy in classification, especially for the classes of small area. This study is expected to be used as fundamental information for selecting optimal basis function according to the data properties in the 3D DWT based image classification.

In recent years wavelet methods have been focused on block shrinkage or thresholding approaches to accounting for the sparseness of the wavelet representation for an unknown function. The block shrinkage or thresholding methods have been developed in both of classical methods and Bayesian methods. In this paper, we propose a Bayesian approach to selecting wavelet basis functions at each resolution level without MCMC procedure. Simulation study and an application are shown.

In this paper, the choice of a primary resolution and wavelet basis functions are introduced under random or irregular design points of which the sample size is free of a power of two. Most wavelet methods have used the number of the points as the primary resolution. However, it turns out that a proper primary resolution is much affected by the shape of an unknown function. The proposed methods are illustrated by some simulations.

The noise removal as a preprocessing was tried with various kinds of wavelet pairs. Wavelet transform for 2D images generally uses the same wavelets as basis functions in horizontal and vertical directions. A method with different wavelets was tried for each direction separately, which gives more precise interpretation of the classification. Total 486 pairs of wavelets from nine basis functions were tried to remove image noises. The classification accuracies before and after the noise removal were compared. Although all kinds of wavelet pairs showed the increased accuracies in classification, there were best and worst wavelet pairs depending on the data sets. Wavelet pairs with low energy percentage of LL band showed the high classification accuracy. A pattern was found in the results that very similar vertical accuracy was distributed for each horizontal ones. Since Haar is the shortest length filter, Haar could be a predictor wavelet to find the good wavelet pairs.

RBFN has some problem that because the basis function isnt orthogonal to each others the number of used basis function goes to big. In this reason, the Wavelet Neural Network which uses the orthogonal basis function in the hidden node appears. In this paper, we propose the composition method of the actual function in hidden layer with the scaling function which can represent the region by which the several wavelet can be represented. In this method, we can decrease the size of the network with the pure several wavelet function. In addition to, when we determine the parameters of the scaling function we can process rough approximation and then the network becomes more stable. The other wavelets can be determined by the global solutions which is suitable for the suggested problem using the genetic algorithm and also, we use the back-propagation algorithm in the learning of the weights. In this step, we approximate the target function with fine tuning level. The complex neural network suggested in this paper is a new structure and important simultaneously in the point of handling the determination problem in the wavelet initialization.

Suppose that $\psi{\;}\in{\;}L^2(\mathbb{R})$ generates a wavelet frame (resp. Riesz basis) with bounds A and B. If $\phi{\;}\in{\;}L^2(\mathbb{R})$ satisfies $$\mid$\^{\psi}(\xi)\;\^{\phi}(\xi)$\mid${\;}<{\;}{\lambda}\frac{$\mid$\xi$\mid$^{\alpha}}{(1+$\mid$\xi$\mid$)^{\gamma}}$ for some positive constants $\alpha,{\;}\gamma,{\;}\lambda$ such that $1{\;}<1{\;}+{\;}\alpha{\;}<{\;}\gamma{\;}and{\;}{\lambda}^2M{\;}<{\;}A$, then $\phi$ also generates a wavelet frame (resp. Riesz basis) with bounds $A(1{\;}-{\;}{\lambda}\sqrt{M/A})^2{\;}and{\;}B(1{\;}+{\;}{\lambda}\sqrt{M/A})^2$, where M is a constant depending only on $\alpha,{\;}\gamma$ the dilation step a, and the translation step b.
