This paper describes a new iris recognition method based on a shift-invariant wavelet sub-images. For the feature representation, we first preprocess an iris image for the compensation of the variation of the iris and for the easy implementation of the wavelet transform. Then, we decompose the preprocessed iris image into multiple subband images using a shift-invariant wavelet transform. For feature representation, we select a set of subband images, which have rich information for the classification of various iris patterns and robust to noises. In order to reduce the size of the feature vector, we quantize. each pixel of subband images using the Lloyd-Max quantization method Each feature element is represented by one of quantization levels, and a set of these feature element is the feature vector. When the quantization is very coarse, the quantized level does not have much information about the image pixel value. Therefore, we define a new similarity measure based on mutual information between two features. With this similarity measure, the size of the feature vector can be reduced without much degradation of performance. Experimentally, we show that the proposed method produced superb performance in iris recognition.

This paper describes the high density discrete wavelet transformation which is one that expands an N point signal to M transform coefficients with M > N. The double-density discrete wavelet transform is one of the high density discrete wavelet transformation. This transformation employs one scaling function and two distinct wavelets, which are designed to be offset from one another by one half. And it is nearly shift-invariant. Similarly, triple-density discrete wavelet transformation is a new set of dyadic wavelet transformation with two generators. The construction provides a higher sampling in both time and frequency. Specifically, the spectrum of the first wavelet is concentrated halfway between the spectrum of the second wavelet and the spectrum of its dilated version. In addition, the second wavelet is translated by half-integers rather than whole-integers in the frame construction. This arrangement leads to high density wavelet transformation. But this new transform is approximately shift-invariant and has intermediate scales. In two dimensions, this transform outperforms the standard and double-density discrete wavelet transformation in terms of multiple directions. Resultingly, the proposed wavelet transformation services good performance in image and video processing fields.

This paper introduces the high density discrete wavelet transform using quincunx sampling, which is a discrete wavelet transformation that combines the high density discrete transformation and non-separable processing method, each of which has its own characteristics and advantages. The high density discrete wavelet transformation is one that expands an N point signal to M transform coefficients with M > N. The high density discrete wavelet transformation is a new set of dyadic wavelet transformation with two generators. The construction provides a higher sampling in both time and frequency. This new transform is approximately shift-invariant and has intermediate scales. In two dimensions, this transform outperforms the standard discrete wavelet transformation in terms of shift-invariant. Although the transformation utilizes more wavelets, sampling rates are high costs and some lack a dominant spatial orientation, which prevents them from being able to isolate those directions. A solution to this problem is a non separable method. The quincunx lattice is a non-separable sampling method in image processing. It treats the different directions more homogeneously than the separable two dimensional schemes. Proposed wavelet transformation can generate sub-images of multiple degrees rotated versions. Therefore, This method services good performance in image processing fields.

This paper introduces the double-density discrete wavelet transform using 3 direction separable processing method, which is a discrete wavelet transform that combines the double-density discrete wavelet transform and quincunx sampling method, each of which has its own characteristics and advantages. The double-density discrete wavelet transform is nearly shift-invariant. But there is room for improvement because not all of the wavelets are directional. That is, although the double-density DWT utilizes more wavelets, some lack a dominant spatial orientation, which prevents them from being able to isolate those directions. The dual-tree discrete wavelet transform has a more computationally efficient approach to shift invariance. Also, the dual-tree discrete wavelet transform gives much better directional selectivity when filtering multidimensional signals. But this transformation has more cost complexity Because it needs eight digital filters. Therefor, we need to hybrid transform which has the more directional selection and the lower cost complexity. A solution to this problem is a the double-density discrete wavelet transform using 3 direction separable processing method. The proposed wavelet transformation services good performance in image and video processing fields.

표준 웨이브렛 변환은 많은 장점에도 불구하고 이동 불변을 만족하지 못하는 단점으로 인해 많은 제약을 받았다. 이 단점은 다운 샘플링 과정으로 인한 표본수의 부족에서 기인한다. 고밀도 이산 웨이브렛 변환은 생성되는 부대역 신호의 수를 증가시켜서 이동 불변의 단점을 극복한 방법이다. 본 논문에서는 세 개의 채널로 구성된 삼중 밀도 이산 웨이브렛 변환을 설계하고 2차원 영상처리에 적용하였다. 이 변환은 부대역의 수가 표준 웨이브렛 변환보다 세배가 되어서 과표본화가 되지만 이동 불변을 잘 만족한다. 그리고 생성된 부대역 영상은 대역별로 다양한 크기를 갖으며, 다양한 방향 선택성을 갖는다. 이 방향성은 영상처리에서 최적의 부대역을 제공할 수 있다.

This paper describes a new iris recognition method using shift-invariant subbands. First an iris image is preprocessed to compensate the variation of the iris image. Then, the preprocessed iris image is decomposed into multiple subbands using a shift invariant wavelet transform. The best subband among them, which have rich information for various iris pattern and robust to noises, is selected for iris recognition. The quantized pixels of the best subband yield the feature representation. Experimentally, we show that the proposed method produced superb performance in iris recognition.

본 논문은 웨이블렛 기반 영상 잡음제거를 위한 천이 불변 uHMT(universal hidden Markov tree) 추정을 제안한다. 제안된 추정은 영상의 크기와 스케일의 수에 독립적이고 어떤 학습도 필요하지 않는 단지 9개의 고정된 파라메터를 가지며 DWT(Discrete Wavelet Transform)의 천이 불변성 결핍에 의해 발생하는 가시적인 artifacts를 제거한다. 실험 결과, 제안된 추정은 기존의 웨이블렛 기반 잡음제거 방법들 보다 PSNR로 0.5-ldB 개선되었으며 수행 속도 측면에서 Ο(nlog n)를 제공한다.

A shift-averaged Haar wavelet transform was introduced as a new and excellent tool to distinguish real peaks from the noise contaminated NMR signals. It is based on Haar wavelet transform and translation-invariant denoising process. Donoho＇s universal threshold was newly introduced to the shift-averaged Haar wavelet transform for the purpose of automated noise suppression, and was quantitatively compared with the conventional uniform threshold method in terms or threshold and signal to noise ratio (SNR). New algorithm was combined with a routine to suppress a large solvent peak by singular value decomposition (SVD). Combined algorithm was applied to the real spectrum that containing large solvent peak.

영상처리에서 quincunx 격자를 사용하는 기법은 대표적인 비분리의 표본화 기법이다. 이 방법은 기존의 이차원 분리가능처리 기법보다 더 많은 다양한 방향성을 가지며 대역적 특성도 우수하다. 고밀도 이산 웨이브렛 변환은 N개의 입력 신호를 M개의 변환 계수들로 확장하는 변환이다(M>N). 이차원 처리에서 이 고밀도 이산 웨이브렛 변환의 이동불변의 장점은 표준 이산 웨이브렛 변환보다 더 우수하다. 그래서 이 변환은 다른 많은 웨이브렛보다 더 유용하게 사용될 수 있지만 표본화율이 높은 단점도 존재한다. 본 논문에서는 quincunx 표본화를 사용하는 고밀도 이산 웨이브렛 변환을 제안하였다. 이 방법은 고밀도 이산 웨이브렛과 비분리 처리의 특징을 유지하고 조합하는 방법이다. 제안된 방법은 영상처리 응용분야에서 좋은 성능을 갖는다.

This paper introduces the double-density discrete wavelet transform(DWT) using quincunx sampling, which is a DWT that combines the double-density DWT and quincunx sampling method, each of which has its own characteristics and advantages. The double-density DWT is an improvement upon the critically sampled DWT with important additional properties: Firstly, It employs one scaling function and two distinct wavelets, which are designed to be offset from one another by one half. Secondly, the double-density DWT is overcomplete by a factor of two, and Finally, it is nearly shift-invariant. In two dimensions, this transform outperforms the standard DWT in terms of denoising; however, there is room for improvement because not all of the wavelets are directional. That is, although the double-density DWT utilizes more wavelets, some lack a dominant spatial orientation, which prevents them from being able to isolate those directions. A solution to this problem is a quincunx sampling method. The quincunx lattice is a sampling method in image processing. It treats the different directions more homogeneously than the separable two dimensional schemes. Proposed wavelet transformation can generate sub-images of multiple degrees rotated versions. Therefore, This method services good performance in image processing fields.
