When finite length image signal is decomposed into 2-band signal and synthesized using 2-band orthogonal wavelet transform, boundary signals are not reconstructed perfectly. To reconstruct them perfectly, the filters which are different from wavelet filter are applied to the boundary signals. Since the existing boundary filters show poor frequency characteristic, the improvement of performance is bounded in practical applications. In this paper, the design method of improvement of frequency characteristic is proposed using inserting a zero to boundary filters which can reconstruct the boundary regions perfectly. Even though the length of proposed boundary filters is shorter, they show 4.2dB∼6.59dB gains in pass band and stop band error power compared with existing boundary filters. But synthesis process is some complicated.

In this paper, the performance comparison of the TR-UWB System using Wavelet Pulse, DPSS pulse, and second Gaussian pulse in multi-user environment is analyzed. The data signal and the reference signal is sent with some time intervals in TR-UWB system. At this time the two signals are through the same channel. In the receiver the reference signal is used as a template. This advantage results in demodulation without channel estimation and low complexity of it. However the conventional TR-UWB system based on a Gaussian signal in a multi-user environment has the disadvantage of poor performance due to the interferences between the users. To overcome this disadvantage, DPSS (Discrete Prolate Shperoidal Sequence) is used to reduce the interferences between the users. We propose the system with multiresolution function of orthogonal wavelet reducing the interferences, which has a better performance in multi-user environment when they are sent in transmission side.

In this paper, we propose an growing and pruning algorithm to design the adaptive structure of modular wavelet neural network(MWNN) with F-projection and geometric growing criterion. Geometric growing criterion consists of estimated error criterion considering local error and angel criterion which attempts to assign wavelet function that is nearly orthogonal to all other existing wavelet functions. There criteria provide a methodology that a network designer can constructs wavelet neural network according to one s intention. The proposed growing algorithm grows the module and the size of modules. Also, the pruning algorithm eliminates unnecessary node of module or module from constructed MWNN to overcome the problem due to localized characteristics of wavelet neural network which is used to modules of MWNN. We apply the proposed constructing algorithm of the adaptive structure of MWNN to approximation problems of 1-D function and 2-D function, and evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

An 'associative cube', a class of auto-associative memories, is revisited here, in which training data and hidden orthogonal basis functions such as wavelet packets or Fourier kernels, are combined in the weight cube. This weight cube has hidden units in its depth, represented by a three dimensional cubic structure. We develop an unsupervised incremental learning mechanism based upon the adaptive least squares method. Training data are mapped into orthogonal basis vectors in a least-squares sense by updating the weights which minimize an energy function. Therefore, a prescribed orthogonal kernel is incrementally assigned to an incoming data. Next, we show how a decoding procedure finds the closest one with a competitive network in the hidden layer. As noisy test data are applied to an associative cube, the nearest one among the original training data are restored in an optimal sense. The simulation results confirm robustness of associative cubes even if test data are heavily distorted by various types of noise.

In spite of the rapid development of the public network, the variety of network-based developments currently raises numerous risks factors regarding copyright violation, the prohibition and distribution of digital media utilization, safe communication, and network security. Among these problems, multimedia data tend to increase in the distributed network environment. Hence, most image information has been transmitted in the form of digitalization. Therefore, the need for multimedia contents protection must be addressed. This paper is focused on possible solutions for multimedia contents security in the public network in order to prevent data modification by non-owners and to ensure safe communication in the distributed network environment. Accordingly, the Orthogonal Forward Wavelet Transform-based Scalable Digital Watermarking technique is proposed in this paper.

As the demand of the high-speed transmission between fast moving mobile objects is increasing, more ideas are coming out to improve the channel distortion for such cases. WOFDM(Wavelet-based Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) is the most brilliant one among them, which combines the advantages of wavelet transform technique and OFDM technique, and it has been implemented into the PLC (Power Line communication) system. In this paper, we are trying to describe a comparative study on COFDM (Fourier-base OFDM) and WOFDM in the conventional T-DMB system. From the simulation results, we can see that the performances of COFDM and WOFDM are nearly same under the AWGN channel. However, WOFDM outperforms COFDM under the time-invariant Rayleigh fading channel.

본 논문에서는, 1차원 및 2차원 웨이브렛 함수를 전역통과필터(APF)와 지연기의 병렬접속에 위한 재귀형(IIR) 디지털 필터로 구성하는 방법을 제안한다. Mallat에 의하여 웨이브렛 변환과 필터뱅크가 밀접한 관계에 있다는 것이 알려졌고, 완전 재구성 필터뱅크로부터 웨이브렛 함수를 도출하는 다양한 방법이 알려져 있다. 그러나, 이러한 방법의 대부분은 비재귀형(FIR) 디지털 필터에 근거를 두는 것으로, 재귀형 디지털 필터에 의한 방법은 거의 제안되어 있지 않다. 재귀형 필터를 이용하는 장점은 비재귀형에 비하여 낮은 차수로 표현되는 점이다. 또 직교 웨이브렛 함수를 끌어내기 위한 직교조건을 용이하게 만족시킬 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 웨이브렛 함수에 요구되는 레귤레리티(Regularity)조건을 만족시키기 위하여, 최대 평탄성(Maximally Flat)을 부가한 새로운 1차원 및 2차원 재귀형 웨이브렛 함수의 도출법을 보인다.

Robustness, payload, and imperceptibility of audio watermarking algorithms are contradictory design issues with high-level security of the watermark. In this study, the major issue in achieving high payload along with adequate robustness against challenging signal-processing attacks is addressed. Moreover, a security code has been strategically used for secure transmission of data, providing tamper detection at the receiver end. The high watermark payload in this work has been achieved by using the complementary features of third-level detailed coefficients of discrete wavelet transform where the human auditory system is not sensitive to alterations in the audio signal. To counter the watermark loss under challenging attacks at high payload, Daubechies wavelets that have an orthogonal property and provide smoother frequencies have been used, which can protect the data from loss under signal-processing attacks. Experimental results indicate that the proposed algorithm has demonstrated adequate robustness against signal processing attacks at 4,884.1 bps. Among the evaluators, 87% have rated the proposed algorithm to be remarkable in terms of transparency.

Wavelet packet modulation (WPM) is a multicarrier modulation (MCM) technique that has emerged as a potential alternative to the widely used orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) method. Because WPM has overlapped symbols, equalization cannot rely on the use of the cyclic prefix (CP), which is used in OFDM. This study applies linear minimum mean-square error (MMSE) equalization in the time domain instead of in the frequency domain to achieve low computational complexity. With a modest equalizer filter length, the imperfection of MMSE equalization results in subcarrier attenuation and noise amplification, which are considered in the development of a bit-loading algorithm. Analytical expressions for the bit error rate (BER) performance are derived and validated using simulation results. A performance evaluation is carried out in different test scenarios as per Recommendation ITU-R M.1225. Numerical results show that WPM with equalization-aware bit loading outperforms OFDM with bit loading. Because previous comparisons between WPM and OFDM did not include bit loading, the results obtained provide additional evidence of the benefits of WPM over OFDM.

This paper proposes Snapping Shrimp Noise (SSN) detection and corrupted Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) reconstruction methods to increase Bit Error Rate (BER) performance when OFDM transmitted signal is corrupted by impulsive SSNs in underwater acoustic communications. The proposed detection method utilizes multilayer wavelet packet decomposition for detecting impulsive and irregularly concentrated and SSN energy in specific frequency bands of SSN, and the proposed reconstruction scheme uses iterative decision directed-subcarrier reconstruction to recover corrupted OFDM signals using multiple carrier characteristics. Computer simulations were executed to show receiver operating characteristics curve for the detection performance and BER for the reconstruction. The practical ocean experiment of SAVEX 15 demonstrated that the proposed method exhibits a better detection performance compared with conventional detection method and improves BER by 250% and 1230% for uncoded and coded data, respectively, compared with the conventional reconstruction scheme.
