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.

본 연구에서는, 거리 영상에서 mesh를 만들고 그것에서 다양한 LOD(Level of Detail)의 mesh를 생성하는 3차원 물체 LOD 모델링 시스템을 제안하였다. Initial mesh 생성은 마칭 큐브 알고리즘을 사용하였다. 종래의 알고리즘을 다수의 거리 영상에서 효과적으로 mesh를 생성하도록 개선하였다. Base mesh 생성에는 topology를 유지하면서 mesh를 간략화하는 decimation 알고리즘을 사용하였다. 마지막으로 Initial mash와 유사한 새로운 mesh를 생성할 때는 웨이블릿 변환을 적용하여 웨이블릿 개수를 개산하였다. 본 연구에서는 Base mesh를 생성할 때 mesh 간략화 방법을 사용함으로써 웨이블릿 기반의 치명적인 문제인 surface crease 문제를 해결하였다.

Synchronous wind-induced pressures, measured in wind-tunnel tests on model buildings instrumented with hundreds of pressure taps, are an invaluable resource for designing safe buildings efficiently. They enable a much more detailed, accurate representation of the forces and moments that drive engineering design than conventional tables and graphs do. However, the very large volumes of data that such tests typically generate pose a challenge to their widespread use in practice. This paper explains how a wavelet representation for the time series of pressure measurements acquired at each tap can be used to compress the data drastically while preserving those features that are most influential for design, and also how it enables incremental data transmission, adaptable to the accuracy needs of each particular application. The loss incurred in such compression is tunable and known. Compression rates as high as 90% induce distortions that are statistically indistinguishable from the intrinsic variability of wind-tunnel testing, which we gauge based on an unusually large collection of replicated tests done under the same wind-tunnel conditions.

시계열 데이터의 분류와 군집화를 효율적으로 수행하기 위해 다양한 시계열 표현 방법들이 제안되었다. 본 연구는 Lin 등 (2007)이 제안한 국소 평균 근사를 이용하여 시계열의 차원을 축소한 후 심볼릭 자료로 이산화하는 symbolic aggregate approximation (SAX) 방법의 개선에 대해서 연구하였다. SAX는 국소 평균 근사를 할 때 등간격으로 임의의 개수의 세그먼트로 나누어 평균을 계산하여 세그먼트의 개수에 그 성능이 크게 좌우된다. 따라서 본 논문은 불균형 Haar 웨이블릿 변환을 통해 국소 평균 수준을 등간격이 아니라 자료의 특성을 반영하여 자료 의존적으로 선택하게 함으로써 시계열의 차원을 효과적으로 축소함과 동시에 정보의 손실을 줄이는 방법에 대해서 제안한다. 제안한 방법은 실증 자료 분석을 통해 SAX 방법을 개선시킴을 확인하였다.

The objective of this study is to analyze the decay characteristics of the hat interpolation wavelet coefficients of some smooth functions defined in a two-dimensional space. The motivation of this research is to establish some fundamental mathematical foundations needed in justifying the adaptive multiresolution analysis of the hat-interpolation wavelet-Galerkin method. Though the hat-interpolation wavelet-Galerkin method has been successful in some classes of problems, no complete error analysis has been given yet. As an effort towards this direction, we give estimates on the decaying ratios of the wavelet coefficients at children interpolation points to the wavelet coefficient at the parent interpolation point. We also give an estimate for the difference between non-adaptively and adaptively interpolated representations.

Wavelet transform technique is applied to two important electromagnetic problems:1) to analyze the frequency-domain radar echo from finite-size targets and 2) to the integral solution of two- dimensional electromagnetic scattering problems. Since the frequency- domain radar echo consists of both small-scale natural resonances and large-scale scattering center information, the multiresolution property of the wavelet transform is well suited for analyzing such ulti-scale signals. Wavelet analysis examples of backscattered data from an open- ended waveguide cavity are presented. The different scattering mechanisms are clearly resolved in the wavelet-domain representation. In the wavelet transform domain, the moment method impedance matrix becomes sparse and sparse matrix algorithms can be utilized to solve the resulting matrix equationl. Using the fast wavelet transform in conjunction with the conjugate gradient method, we present the time performance for the solution of a dihedral corner reflector. The total computational time is found to be reduced.

This paper presents the technique using wavelet analysis to solve the seismic response of a steam turbine-generator rotor system subjected to earthquake excitations. A brief review of the wavelet transform and its discretization, time-frequency representation of the earthquake wave and the seismic response for a rotor system is presented. The Daubechies wavelet has been used for describing the time-frequency characteristics of the input and the response in case of a recorded accelerogram during 1995 Hyogoken Nanbu earthquake. Also, the results in the wavelet domain has been illustrated through comparison with the time domain simulation results.

A family of quasi-interpolatory wavelet system was introduced in [10], extending and unifing the biorthogonal Coiffman wavelet system. The corresponding refinable functions and wavelets have vanishing moment of a certain order (say, L), which is a key property for data representation and approximation. One of main advantages of this wavelet systems is that we can get optimal smoothness in the sense of smoothing factors in the scaling filters. In this paper, we first discuss the biorthogonality condition of the quisi-interpolatory wavelet system. Then, we study the properties of the scaling and wavelet filters, related to the polynomial reproduction and the vanishing moment respectively, which in fact determines the approximation orders of biorthogonal projections. In addition, we discuss the approximation orders of the wavelet projections.

In this study the complex-valued continuous wavelet transform (CWT) has been applied in detection of Electrocardiograms (ECG) as response to various signal classification methods such as Fourier transforms and other tools of time frequency analysis. Experiments have shown that CWT may serve as a detector of non-stationary signal changes as ECG. The tested signal is corrupted by short time events. We applied CWT to detect short-time event and the result image representation of the signal has showed us that one can easily find the discontinuity at the time scale representation. Analysis of ECG signal using complex-valued continuous wavelet transform is the first step to detect possible changes and alternans. In the second step, modulus and phase must be thoroughly examined. Thus, short time events in the ECG signal, and other important characteristic points such as frequency overlapping, wave onsets/offsets extrema and discontinuities even inflection points are found to be detectable. We have proved that the complex-valued CWT can be used as a powerful detector in ECG signal analysis.
