The response of an anti-Compton phoswich detector to gamma rays was investigated using Monte-Carlo method, and the pulses from different crystal cases, including gamma deposition only in the LaBr3(Ce) or CsI(Tl) crystal and coincidence in both crystals, were analyzed. A novel pulse discrimination method for gamma deposition events based on wavelet transform analysis, called SSD (Scale Shape Discrimination), was developed in this study. Compared to the traditional PSD (Pulse Shape Discrimination) method, SSD has the advantage of transforming one-dimensional pulses in the time-domain into two-dimensional time-frequency spectra, providing the more useful features for pulse discrimination. The performances of the Compton suppression and Full-energy peak loss using PSD and SSD methods was studied. The results show that the Compton suppression factor I_PSD = 5.12 and I_SSD = 5.32, and FEP loss factor PL_PSD = 0.0554 and PL_SSD = 0.0587. Meanwhile, the influences of the cutoff values for pulse discrimination on the results of I and PL with different method were analyzed.

AWGN(Addictive white gaussian noise)에 의해 영상은 자주 훼손되곤 한다. 최근 이를 복원하기위해 웨이블릿(Wavelet) 영역에서의 베이시안(Bayesian) 추정법이 연구되고 있다. 웨이블릿 변환된 영상 신호의 밀도 함수(pdf)는 표족한 첨두와 긴 꼬리(long-tail)를 갖는 경망이 있다. 이러한 사전 밀도 함수(a priori probability density function)를 상황에 적합하게 추정한다면 좋은 성능의 복원 결과를 얻을 수 있다. 빈번이 제안되는 릴도 함수로 가우시안(Gaussian) 분포 참수와 라플라스(Laplace) 분포 함수가 있다. 이들 각각의 모델은 훌륭히 변환 계수들을 모델링하며 나름대로의 장점을 나타낸다. 본 연구에서는 가우시안 분포와 라플라스(Laplace) 분포의 혼합 분포 모델을 밀도 함수로 제안하여, 이 들의 장점을 종합하였다. 이를 MAP(Maximum a Posteriori) 추정 방법에 적용하여 잡음을 제거 하였다. 그 결과 기존의 알고리즘에 비해 시각적인 면(Visual aspect), 수치적인 면(PSNR), 그리고 연산량(Complexity) 측면에서 망상된 결과를 얻었다.

A number of theoretical researches have been done in recent years on the restoration of images and a variety of algorithms have been developed to implement noise reduction methods. However the blurring effect has not been perfectly overcome in the process of noise reduction. In this paper, we propose a new approach to image restoration that the blurring effect is significantly decreased and the performance of the noise reduction improves by eliminating the noise in the wavelet transform domain in comparison with the conventional noise reduction methods. The proposed algorithm performs much better than the conventional in the subjective image quality and PSNR performance. It is verified through computer simulations,

논문은 웨이블릿(wavelet) 변환된 각 프레임의 모든 부대역의 블록들에 대해 계층적 움직임을 추정할때 고해상도 계층에서는 기저대역에서 추정된 전역 움직임 벡터를 기초로 하여 국부 움직임을 추정한다. 이때 복원 영상에 미치는 영향이 가장 큰 기저대역에 대하여 반화소를 사용하면 더욱 최적의 움직임 벡터를 추정할 수 있으나 계산량이 증가하는 단점이 있다. 블록내에 인접한 화소들 간에는 상관관계가 높다는 사실을 이용하여 오차가 최소가 되는 방향을 예측하여 선별적인 보간을 행하여 반화소 움직임을 탐색하여 계산량을 줄였다. 그리고 더욱 향상된 화질을 얻기 위해서 에지 성분이 많은 고해상도 계층에서 저해상도 계층으로의 선택적 국부 움직임을 추정하였다. 모의 실험 결과 기존의 웨이블릿 변환을 이용한 움직임 추정 및 보상 방법보다 향상된 화질을 나타내었다.

In this paper, we propose an efficient vehicle detection and classification algorithm for an electronic toll collection, which is based on shadow robust vehicle presence test. In order to improve the performance of vehicle presence test, we use correlation coefficients between wavelet transformed input and reference images, which takes advanage of textural similarity. We compare the performance of the vehicle presence test with those of some conventional approaches that use variance of frame difference. Experimental results from field test show that the proposed vehicl detection and classification algorithm performs well even under abrupt intensity change due to the characteristics of sensor and occurrence of shadow.

Wavelet transform decomposes a video frame into a set of subframes with different resolutions corresponding to different frequency bands. The block size of highest layer subframe is too small to estimate correct motion. To decrease this aperture problem in the approximation frame, multiresolution motion estimation (MRME) using hierarchical block matching is presented in this paper. In the multiresolution motion estimation approach, motion vectors in the subframes are estimated by the motion vectors in the approximation frame and are refined at each subframe. It reduces computational time in motion estimation. It is shown that our MRME approach has a superior performance than traditional MRME approaches.

The main objective of this paper is to investigate the potential utility of multisensor remotely sensed data for improved coastal wetland mapping. Five data fusion models, three algebraic models (Multiplicative (MT), Brovey (BT) and Wavelet transform (WT)) and two spectral domain models (Principals component transform (PCT) and Intensity-Hue-Saturation (IHS)) were implemented and tested over the multisensor data. The fused images were then compared based on visual and statistical approaches. The results show that the wavelet transform provides greater flexibility for combining optical data sets and has good potential for preserving the spatial and spectral content of the original images . However, this model yields poor information when combining optical and microwave data. Brovey transform is more reliable for fusing optical and microwave image data and yields improved information about different wetland features of the coastal zone.

In this paper, a new wavelet filter design algorithm is proposed which optimizes energy compaction of transformed coefficients. The filter, designed by the proposed algorithm enhances the coding gain of the system with fixed quantizer by most unevenly distributed energy in transform domain. The coding gain function was extended to obtain the optimal filter coefficients in each stage. The experiments showed that the filter designed by proposed method outperforms conventional filters in energy compaction rate.

In this paper, we propose a new method for reducing the computational overhead of fine-to-coarse multi-resolution motion estimation (MRME) at the finest resolution level by searching for the region to consider motion vectors of the coarsest resolution subband. At this time, if half-pel accuracy motion estimation (HPAME) is used in the baseband where influence a lot of effect to the reconstructed image, we can have the motion vector exactly But, this method causes to higher computational overhead. So we suggest the method to the computational overhead by using selective interpolation. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm gives better results than the traditional algorithms from image quality.

According to a popularization of the Internet and digital lifestyle, digital watermarks have been proposed for protection of copyrighted multimedia content. In blind watermark detection, which an original image is not provided, robustness against geometric distortion and compression remains challenging. In this paper, we propose a new perceptual blind discrete wavelet transform - discrete Fourier transform (DWT-DFT) composite watermarking scheme that is robust against both general linear transform and JPEG compression. This algorithm constructs an image-dependent watermark in the most significant DWT coefficients, which is determined by using a hierarchical tree structure. Strength of watermark is determined from a just-noticeable difference (JND) profile of a perceptual model. Furthermore, a desired template is inserted into DFT domain of the watermarked image. In new manner, a cross-ratio of four collinear points is used for detecting the template. Experimental results have showed that the proposed scheme is robust against general linear distortion, JPEG compression and various general kinds of attacks in the Stirmark 3.1 watermark evaluation tool.
