We propose a progressive image retrieval method based on an efficient combination of multiresolution color and torture features in wavelet transform domain. As a color feature, color autocorrelogram of the hue and saturation components is chosen. As texture features, BDIP and BVLC moments of the value component are chosen. For the selected features, we obtain multiresolution feature vectors which are extracted from all decomposition levels in wavelet domain. The multiresolution feature vectors of the color and texture features are efficiently combined by the normalization depending on their dimensions and standard deviation vector, respectively, vector components of the features are efficiently quantized in consideration of their storage space, and computational complexity in similarity computation is reduced by using progressive retrieval strategy. Experimental results show that the proposed method yields average $15\%$ better performance in precision vs. recall and average 0.2 in ANMRR than the methods using color histogram color autocorrelogram SCD, CSD, wavelet moments, EHD, BDIP and BVLC moments, and combination of color histogram and wavelet moments, respectively. Specially, the proposed method shows an excellent performance over the other methods in image DBs contained images of various resolutions.

Multi-Carrier Spread Spectrum communications has shown the ability of transform domain excision using the wavelet transformation to improve system performance when transmitting signals in the presence of additive white Gaussian noise and interference. In such work, the transforms were implemented using FIR filters and IIR filter. Some well-known classes of sequences, such as Pseudo noise, Walsh, Cold sequences are evaluated with respect to the basic criteria. The main objective is to implement the wavelet transform using IIR filters. This filters are well known to have sharper transition regions leading to better performance. Numerical simulation of multi-carrier spread spectrum communication systems have shown that IIR filters are better in removing the sinusoidal jammer and subsequently yield better BER performance.

In this paper, an efficient watermarking technique in wavelet transform domain is proposed. Watermarking is embedding a digital signal called as 'watermark' into images to claim the ownership. In the proposed method, the image is 1-level wavelet transformed, and then the watermark with a binary stamp is embedded into the baseband. The watermark is embedded by inverting the polarities of he selected coefficient paris. In the inverting process, we can increase image quality by finding means and differences of the selected neighboring coefficient paris, and then adding values, which are inversely proportional to the differences, to th means. The experimental results show that the proposed method has good quality and is robust to various attacks such as the JPEG lossy comparison, noise addition, clipping, blurring, etc.

A wavelet-based image watermarking scheme is proposed, based on the insertion of pseudo-random codes in the frequency domain. The original image is required for the watermark detection. The "strength" of the signature to be embedded depends on the image to be marked, thus fitting signal capacity. The experimental results prove that the method is more tamper resistant and less perceptible for any type of images than other well-known private methods in the frequency domains.

This paper presents a wavelet-based digital watermarking scheme for color images. We insert watermarks in the DWI domain using spread-spectrum correlation-based watermarking in luminance component of the color image. The watermark, two pseudorandom patterns, is inserted by modifying the wavelet coefficients at subband HL2, LH2, HH2 according to message bits. To detect watermark, we calculate the correlation between the watermarked image and pseudorandom patterns. As compared with correlations, the watermark detector determines embedding message. Experimental results show that the scheme is not only invisible but also robust to various attacks such as JPEG compression, noise addition and so on.

The objective of this study is to find the change of signal characteristics of matrix cracks due to the different specimen shapes. As the concept of the smart structure, monitoring of acoustic emission (AE) can be applied to inspect the fracture of the structures in operating condition using built-in sensors. To understand the characteristics of matrix crack signals, we performed tensile tests by changing the thickness and width of the specimens. This paper describes the implementation of time-frequency analysis such as wavelet transform (WT) fur the quantitative evaluation of fracture signals. The experimental result shows the distinctive signal features in frequency domain due to the different specimen shapes.

In the communication system, adaptive equalizer using LMS algorithm has slow convergence rate in spite of effectiveness and simplicity. In this paper, we designed the wavelet transform based adaptive equalizer to overcome this problem. The performance of this new approach is compared with that of the time domain LMS algorithm by convergence rate with respect to change of channel distortion and filter order. As a result, the wavelet transform based adaptive equalizer shows the improvements in the speed of convergence compared with LMS algorithm based adaptive equalizer.

A wavelet based multiresolution watermarking method using the human visual system (HVS) is proposed, in which a different number of watermarks, in proportion to the energy contained in each band, are embedded into each band. Experiments with various test images show that the proposed three-level wavelet based method is robust to various attacks such as joint photographic experts group (JPEG) compression, smoothing, cropping, collusion, multiple watermarking, and so on.

Dynamic response characteristics of a beam undergoing impulsive force are investigated using the wavelet transform method in this study. When an impulse is applied to an arbitrary position of a beam, it will generate a structural deformation wave. The characteristics of the wave are changing in the domain of time and space. The maximum amplitude of each natural frequency mode and the time to reach the maximum amplitude are obtained in this study. The effects of the location of impulse on the variations of the dynamic characteristics is also investigated.

In this paper, I proposed the adaptive watermarking based on the discrete wavelet transform for the very robust watermarking against intentional distortion which attacks on image. A watermark is an binary image such as document(sign), and such watermark image is embedded in the LH and HL band of wavelet transformed domain for copyright protection of image data. To evaluate robustness of the proposed method, we applied some basic algorithm of image processing such as brightening, darkening, sharpening, blurring, cropping, histogram equalizing and lossy compression(JPEG, gif). As a result of experiment, the proposed method has the good image quality and the high perceptibility of watermark. It was demonstrated by experiments that the proposed algorithm can provide an excellent protection under various attacks.
