The document discusses content-based image retrieval (CBIR) using different wavelet transforms for texture feature extraction and similarity measurement. It compares the performance of M-band wavelet transform, cosine-modulated wavelet transform, and Gabor wavelet transform in terms of retrieval accuracy and computational complexity. The M-band wavelet transform and cosine-modulated wavelet transform provide better retrieval accuracy than standard wavelet transform with much reduced computational complexity compared to Gabor wavelet transform.
Automatic Relative Radiometric Normalization for Change Detection of Satellit...IDES Editor
Several relative radiometric normalization (RRN)
techniques have been proposed till date most of which involve
selection of pseudo invariant features whose reflectance are
nearly invariant from image to image and are independent of
seasonal cycles. Extraction of such points is quiet tedious and
human operator has to provide mutual correspondence by
choosing easily recognizable and time invariant points. In
this paper, we intend to propose a new automatic radiometric
normalization technique to select PIFs in panchromatic
images known as Bin-Division Method. For multispectral
images, MAD (Multivariate Alteration Detection) has been
employed for selecting PIFs based on the assumption that
MAD components are invariant to affine transformation. This,
followed by robust linear regression constitutes the whole
automatic radiometric normalization procedure.

The lifting scheme of the discrete wavelet transform
(DWT) is now quite well established as an efficient technique
for image denoising. The lifting scheme factorization of
biorthogonal filter banks is carried out with a linear-adaptive,
delay free and faster decomposition arithmetic. This adaptive
factorization is aimed to achieve a well transparent, more
generalized, complexity free fast decomposition process in
addition to preserve the features that an ordinary wavelet
decomposition process offers. This work is targeted to get
considerable reduction in computational complexity and power
required for decomposition. The hard striking demerits of
DWT structure viz., shift sensitivity and poor directionality
had already been proven to be washed out with an emergence
of dual tree complex wavelet (DT-CWT) structure. The well

desirable drop in computation time, power and complexity of

REVIEW ON TRANSFORM BASED MEDICAL IMAGE COMPRESSION cscpconf
Advance medical imaging requires storage of large quantities of digitized clinical data. Due to
the bandwidth and storage limitations, medical images must be compressed before transmission
and storage. Diagnosis is effective only when compression techniques preserve all the relevant
and important image information needed. There are basically two types of image compression:
lossless and lossy. Lossless coding does not permit high compression ratios where as lossy
achieve high compression ratio. Among the existing lossy compression schemes, transform
coding is one of the most effective strategies. In this paper, a review has been made on the
different compression techniques on medical images based on transforms like Discrete Cosine
Transform(DCT), Discrete Wavelet Transform(DWT), Hybrid DCT-DWT and Contourlet
transform. And it has been analyzed that Contourlet transform have superior overall
performance over other transforms in terms of PSNR.

Image denoising is the process to remove the noise from the image naturally corrupted by the noise. The wavelet method is one among various methods for recovering infinite dimensional objects like curves, densities, images, etc. The wavelet techniques are very effective to remove the noise because of their ability to capture the energy of a signal in few energy transform values. Though the wavelet transform have the best bases when it represents target functions which has dot singularity, it can hardly get the best bases when it present the singularity of line and hyper-plane. This makes the traditional two-dimensional wavelet transform in dealing with the image have some limitations. To overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings of Wavelet transform the theory of Curvelet transform was promoted.

FINGERPRINTS IMAGE COMPRESSION BY WAVE ATOMScsandit
The fingerprint images compression based on geometric transformed presents important

Highly Adaptive Image Restoration In Compressive Sensing Applications Using S...IJARIDEA Journal
Abstract— Image Restoration is the operation of taking a degenerate picture and assessing the perfect, unique picture. Intially the range is separated from caught scene and coordinated with the word reference and are stacked together. At last the pictures are reestablished utilizing SDL calculation. The PSNR qualities are observe to be higher than customary condition of all pressure procedures. The point of word reference learning is to finding an edge in which some preparation information concedes an inadequate portrayal. In this strategy the specimens are taken underneath the Nyquist rate. In any case, in specific cases a lexicon that is prepared to fit the information can essentially enhance the sparsity, which has applications in information disintegration.

SECURE WATERMARKING TECHNIQUE FOR MEDICAL IMAGES WITH VISUAL EVALUATIONsipij
This paper presents a hybrid watermarking technique for medical images. The method uses a combination
of three transforms: Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT), Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT), and singular
value decomposition (SVD). Then, the paper discusses the results of applying the combined method on
different medical images from eight patients. The images were watermarked with a small watermark image
representing the patients' medical data. The visual quality of the watermarked images (before and after
attacks) was analyzed using five quality metrics: PSNR, WSNR, PSNR-HVS-M, PSNR-HVS, and MSSIM.
The first four metrics' average values of the watermarked medical images before attacks were
approximately 32 db, 35 db, 42 db, and 40 db respectively; while the MSSM index indicated a similarity
between the original and watermarked images of more than 97%. However, the metric values decreased
significantly after attacking the images with various operations even though the watermark image could be
retrieved after almost all attacks. In brief, the initial results indicate that watermarking medical images
with patients' data does not significantly affect their visual quality and they can still be used by medical
staff
Image archiving and preservation finds extensive application in culture heritage murals. The study of cultural heritage is of the extreme importance at national and international levels. Not only global organizations like UNESCO but also museums, libraries, culture, temples and private initiatives are working in these directions. During the last three decades, researchers in the field of imaging discipline have started to contribute an increasing set of algorithms for cultural heritage; in that way providing indispensable support to these efforts. A better comparison of the different compression methods presented in this proposed work for culture Heritage mural images. Compression methods usually applied some method to reduce the number of components within each spectrum. The effectiveness of mural image archiving and preservation is analyzed based on 2-D wavelets filtering. The optimum algorithm is also found based on the results.
Performance analysis of Hybrid Transform, Hybrid Wavelet and Multi-Resolutio...IJMER
Compression of digital images play vital role in transmission of multimedia data. This paper
presents application of hybrid wavelet transform in image compression. Multi-resolution property of
Wavelet transform helps to analyze the information contents of image effectively. This property has been
used in image compression application. Hybrid wavelet transform is generated using two different
component transforms. Various sizes of these component transforms can be used. In this hybrid wavelet,
global and local properties of component transforms are incorporated and hence are called bi-resolution
analysis. Different levels of resolutions can also be included in generated hybrid transform. Hence It is
called multi-resolution analysis and is applied on images. At each level of resolution number of
components can be changed. It provides great flexibility to generate hybrid transform matrix. Image is
compressed using hybrid wavelet, hybrid wavelet with multi-resolution and hybrid transform. Their
performance is compared and it has been observed that hybrid wavelet transform gives lower error
values than multi-resolution analysis and hybrid transform. Along with Root mean Square Error (RMSE),
Mean Absolute Error (MAE) and Average Fractional Change in Pixel Value (AFCPV) is used to measure
error. AFCPV gives better perception to image quality as it is a fractional change in pixel values. Lower
the value of AFCPV better is the image quality.
Removing noise from the Medical image is still a challenging problem for researchers. Noise added is not easy to remove from the images. There have been several published algorithms and each approach has its assumptions, advantages, and limitations. This paper summarizes the major techniques to denoise the medical images and finds the one is better for image denoising. We can conclude that the Multiwavelet technique with Soft threshold is the best technique for image denoising.
We develop an efficient MRI denoising algorithm based on sparse representation and curvelet transform with variance stabilizing transformation framework. By using sparse representation, a MR image is decomposed into a sparsest coefficients matrix with more no of zeros. Curvelet transform is directional in nature and it preserves the important edge and texture details of MR images. In order to get sparsity and texture preservation, we post process the denoising result of sparse based method through curvelet transform. To use our proposed sparse based curvelet transform denoising method to remove rician noise in MR images, we use forward and inverse variance-stabilizing transformations. Experimental results reveal the efficacy of our approach to rician noise removal while well preserving the image details. Our proposed method shows improved performance over the existing denoising methods in terms of PSNR and SSIM for T1, T2 weighted MR images.
Image Compression Using Wavelet Packet TreeIDES Editor
Methods of compressing data prior to storage and
transmission are of significant practical and commercial
interest. The necessity in image compression continuously
grows during the last decade. The image compression includes
transform of image, quantization and encoding. One of the
most powerful and perspective approaches in this area is
image compression using discrete wavelet transform. This
paper describes a new approach called as wavelet packet tree
for image compression. It constructs the best tree on the basis
of Shannon entropy. This new approach checks the entropy of
decomposed nodes (child nodes) with entropy of node, which
has been decomposed (parent node) and takes the decision of
decomposition of a node. In addition, authors have proposed
an adaptive thresholding for quantization, which is based on
type of wavelet used and nature of image. Performance of the
proposed algorithm is compared with existing wavelet
transform algorithm in terms of percentage of zeros and
percentage of energy retained and signals to noise ratio.

Texture Unit based Monocular Real-world Scene Classification using SOM and KN...IDES Editor
In this paper a method is proposed to discriminate
real world scenes in to natural and manmade scenes of similar
depth. Global-roughness of a scene image varies as a function
of image-depth. Increase in image depth leads to increase in
roughness in manmade scenes; on the contrary natural scenes
exhibit smooth behavior at higher image depth. This particular
arrangement of pixels in scene structure can be well explained
by local texture information in a pixel and its neighborhood.
Our proposed method analyses local texture information of a
scene image using texture unit matrix. For final classification
we have used both supervised and unsupervised learning using
K-Nearest Neighbor classifier (KNN) and Self Organizing
Map (SOM) respectively. This technique is useful for online
classification due to very less computational complexity.
Divide the examined window into cells (e.g. 16x16 pixels for each cell).
2- For each pixel in a cell, compare the pixel to each of its 8 neighbors (on its left-top, leftmiddle,
left-bottom, right-top, etc.). Follow the pixels along a circle, i.e. clockwise or counterclockwise.
3- Where the center pixel's value is greater than the neighbor's value, write "1". Otherwise,
write "0". This gives an 8-digit binary number (which is usually converted to decimal for
convenience).
4- Compute the histogram, over the cell, of the frequency of each "number" occurring (i.e.,
each combination of which pixels are smaller and which are greater than the center).

Amalgamation of contour, texture, color, edge, and spatial features for effic...eSAT Journals
Abstract From the past few years, Content based image retrieval (CBIR) has been a progressive and curious research area. Image retrieval is a process of extraction of the set of images from the available image database resembling the query image. Many CBIR techniques have been proposed for relevant image recoveries. However most of them are based on a particular feature extraction like texture based recovery, color based retrieval system etc. Here in this paper we put forward a novel technique for image recovery based on the integration of contour, texture, color, edge, and spatial features. Contourlet decomposition is employed for the extraction of contour features such as energy and standard deviation. Directionality and anisotropy are the properties of contourlet transformation that makes it an efficient technique. After feature extraction of query and database images, similarity measurement techniques such as Squared Euclidian and Manhattan distance were used to obtain the top N image matches. The simulation results in Matlab show that the proposed technique offers a better image retrieval. Satisfactory precision-recall rate is also maintained in this method. Keywords: Contourlet Decomposition, Local Binary Pattern, Squared Euclidian Distance, Manhattan Distance
Image retrieval is the major innovations in the development of images. Mining of images is used to mine latest information from
the general collection of images. CBIR is the latest method in which our target images is to be extracted on the basis of specific features of
the specified image. The image can be retrieved in fast if it is clustered in an accurate and structured manner. In this paper, we have the
combined the theories of CBIR and analysis of features of CBIR systems.
Ijri ece-01-02 image enhancement aided denoising using dual tree complex wave...Ijripublishers Ijri
This paper presents a novel way to reduce noise introduced or exacerbated by image enhancement methods, in particular
algorithms based on the random spray sampling technique, but not only. According to the nature of sprays,
output images of spray-based methods tend to exhibit noise with unknown statistical distribution. To avoid inappropriate
assumptions on the statistical characteristics of noise, a different one is made. In fact, the non-enhanced image is
considered to be either free of noise or affected by non-perceivable levels of noise. Taking advantage of the higher sensitivity
of the human visual system to changes in brightness, the analysis can be limited to the luma channel of both the
non-enhanced and enhanced image. Also, given the importance of directional content in human vision, the analysis is
performed through the dual-tree complex wavelet transform , lanczos interpolator and edge preserving smoothing filters.
Unlike the discrete wavelet transform, the DTWCT allows for distinction of data directionality in the transform space.
For each level of the transform, the standard deviation of the non-enhanced image coefficients is computed across the
six orientations of the DTWCT, then it is normalized.
Keywords: dual-tree complex wavelet transform (DTWCT), lanczos interpolator, edge preserving smoothing filters.
A New Approach for Segmentation of Fused Images using Cluster based ThresholdingIDES Editor
This paper proposes the new segmentation technique
with cluster based method. In this, the multi source medical
images like MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging), CT
(computed tomography) & PET (positron emission
tomography) are fused and then segmented using cluster based
thresholding approach. The edge details of an image have
become an essential technique in clinical and researchoriented
applications. The more edge details of the fused image
have obtainable with this method. The objective of the
clustering process is to partition a fused image coefficients
into a number of clusters having similar features. These
features are useful to generate the threshold value for further
segmentation of fused image. Finally the segmented output
is compared with standard FCM method and modified Otsu
method. Experimental results have shown that the proposed
cluster based thresholding method is able to effectively extract
important edge details of fused image.

It is demonstrate that noticeably improved perceptual quality can be achieved through the use of adaptive anisotropic ally weighted similarity functions between local neighbourhoods. This is accomplished by adapting the similarity weighing function in an anisotropic manner based on the perceptual characteristics of the underlying image content derived efficiently based on the Mexican Hat wavelet. Experimental results show that the it can be used to provide improved perceptual quality in the denoised image both quantitatively and qualitatively when compared to existing methods.

Classification and Segmentation of Glaucomatous Image Using Probabilistic Neu...ijsrd.com
The gradual visual field loss and there is a characteristic type of damage to the retinal nerve fiber layer associated with the progression of the disease glaucoma. Texture features within images are actively pursued for accurate and efficient glaucoma classification. Energy distribution over wavelet subband is applied to find these important texture features. In this paper, we investigate the discriminatory potential of wavelet features obtained from the Daubechies (db3), symlets (sym3), and biorthogonal (bio3.3, bio3.5, and bio3.7) wavelet filters. We propose a novel technique to extract energy signatures obtained using 2-D discrete wavelet transform, and subject these signatures to different feature ranking and feature selection strategies. Here my project aims at the use of Probabilistic Neural Network (PNN), Fuzzy C-means (FCM) and K-means helps for the detection of glaucoma disease. For this, fuzzy c-means clustering algorithm and k-means algorithm is used. Fuzzy c-means results faster and reliably good clustering when compare to k-means.
EFFICIENT IMAGE RETRIEVAL USING REGION BASED IMAGE RETRIEVALsipij
Early image retrieval techniques were based on textual annotation of images. Manual annotation of images
is a burdensome and expensive work for a huge image database. It is often introspective, context-sensitive
and crude. Content based image retrieval, is implemented using the optical constituents of an image such
as shape, colour, spatial layout, and texture to exhibit and index the image. The Region Based Image
Retrieval (RBIR) system uses the Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) and a k-means clustering algorithm
to segment an image into regions. Each region of the image is represented by a set of optical
characteristics and the likeness between regions and is measured using a particular metric function on
such characteristics
EFFICIENT IMAGE COMPRESSION USING LAPLACIAN PYRAMIDAL FILTERS FOR EDGE IMAGESijcnac
This project presents a new image compression technique for the coding of retinal and
fingerprint images. Retinal images are used to detect diseases like diabetes or
hypertension. Fingerprint images are used for the security purpose. In this work, the
contourlet transform of the retinal and fingerprint image is taken first. The coefficients of
the contourlet transform are quantized using adaptive multistage vector quantization
scheme. The number of code vectors in the adaptive vector quantization scheme depends
on the dynamic range of the input image.
2. Unlike the standard wavelet decomposition, which gives a logarithmic
frequency resolution, the M-band decomposition gives a mixture of a
logarithmic and linear frequency resolution.
Most texture image retrieval systems are still incapable of providing retrieval
result with high retrieval accuracy and less computational complexity.
3. Visual information (images/ video) is one of the most promising sources
of multimedia information, as it plays a key role in the communication
framework.
The term [CBIR] describes the process of retrieving desired images from a
large collection on the basis of features (such as colour, texture and shape)
that can be automatically extracted from the images themselves.
The main advantage of CBIR is its ability to support visual queries . The
challenge in CBIR is to develop the methods that will increase retrieval
accuracy and reduce the retrieval time (computational complexity).
4.
5. A CBIR system consists of two databases namely an Image Database and
Image Feature Database.
The image database contains the original images present in the database.
Similarity between query image and each database image is calculated by
finding the distance between the feature vectors.
The Feature Extraction module processes each of the database images to
extract a description of the content of the image, represented in the form of a
vector called feature vector.
6. There are two important tasks in content-based image retrieval. First one
is feature extraction, and second one is similarity measurement. Our
research is focused on these two important tasks.
This motivates us to explore different similarity measures and different
wavelet based features , which will improve retrieval effectiveness both in
terms of retrieval accuracy
and retrieval time.
A successful CBIR system must be able to deal with textured images in real
world. The majority of existing texture feature extraction methods for CBIR
assumes that all images are acquired from the same viewpoint. This
assumption is not realistic in practical applications.
7. Texture can be defined as, “A region in an image has a constant texture if a set
of local statistics or other local properties of the picture are constant, slowly
varying, or approximately periodic”.
Texture features currently used in CBIR are mainly derived from Gabor
wavelets [62], the conventional discrete wavelet transform (DWT) [53], tree
structured wavelet transform [7], and wavelet frame [91].
Texture feature extraction with DWT gives the edge information in the
horizontal, vertical and diagonal direction.
Texture representation with the real DWT has two main disadvantages of
shift sensitivity and poor directionality (only three directions information).

10. To avoid the problem of pixel-by-pixel comparison next abstraction level that is
used for representing images is the feature level.
Feature extraction plays an important role in content-based image retrieval to
support efficient and fast retrieval of similar images from image databases.
Significant features should be extracted from image data. Every image is
characterized by a set of features such as texture, color, shape, spatial location,
image semantic features etc.
These features are extracted at the time of injecting new image in image database
and stored in image feature database.
11. Average Retrieval Time:
A new optimization criterion for locating emergency medical care facilities,
level-load retrieval time, is described and applied to Los Angeles County.
The new criterion combines retrieval times from demand points served by each
facility and patient load on each facility
12. The main drawbacks of standard wavelets is that they are not suitable for the
analysis of high- frequency signals with relatively narrow bandwidth. Also the
standard wavelet decomposition gives a logarithmic frequency resolution.
M-Band wavelet on the other hand has two main advantages over the
standard wavelet.
M-band wavelet gives better spectral decomposition for texture images than
standard wavelet, because M-band wavelet decomposition gives a mixture of a
logarithmic and linear frequency resolution.
M-band wavelet decomposition yields a large number of sub bands, which
improves the retrieval accuracy.
The limitation of M–band wavelet is that the computational complexity
increases and hence retrieval time increases with number of bands.
13.
14. The filters hi (n) are analysis filters constituting the analysis filter bank and
the filters gi (n) are the synthesis filters constituting the synthesis filter bank.
Perfect reconstruction of the signal is an important requirement of M-
Channel filter bank. Filter bank is said to be perfect reconstruction if
y(n) = x(n).
15. Disadvantage of using standard wavelets is that they are not suitable for the
analysis of high-frequency signals with relatively narrow bandwidth.
The M-band orthonormal wavelets give a better energy compaction than two
band wavelets by zooming into narrow band high frequency components of a
signal
In M-band wavelets there are M-1 wavelets
16.
17. In the filtering stage we make use of biorthonormal M-band wavelet
transform [94] to decompose the texture image into M ×M -channels,
corresponding to different direction and resolutions.
At each level with M=3, the image is decomposed in to
M ×M (=9) channels. Table 3.1 shows the 3-band wavelet filter coefficients
[120] used in the experiments.
18. The cosine –modulated FIR filter banks are the special class of unitary filter banks,
where the analysis filters hi (n) are all cosine-modulates of a low pass linear-phase
prototype filter g(n).
The fundamental idea behind cosine-modulated filter banks is the following: In
an M-channel filter bank, the analysis and synthesis filters are meant to approximate
ideal M th band filters.
In the filtering stage we make use of filter coefficients for M =2 to decompose the
texture image in to four channels, corresponding to different direction and
resolutions.
After decomposing image with wavelet transform we get horizontal, vertical and
diagonal information. Hsin has reported that diagonal filter gives strong response
to textures with orientations at or close to ± 45° .
19. Subsequently the decomposition was performed column wise.
Thus at the first level of decomposition the original image was decomposed
into M 2 = 9 sub-images.
This would correspond to the decomposition of upper left-hand corner sub-
band of the frequency plane called a complete decomposition.
In general we obtain M 2n sub-bands at the nth level of decomposition.
Rotate these sub bands by +45 deg, we will get the information in directions of
0,45,90,135 degrees.
Calculate the energy for all sub bands and from the feature vector.
20.
21. The objective of these experiments is to illustrate that the proposed texture
features for CBIR using M-band wavelet and cosine modulated wavelet provides
equally better retrieval accuracy to that of the Gabor wavelet based method
along with much reduced retrieval time.
Average retrieval performance with M-Band wavelet (73.65 %) is better than
standard wavelet (71.71 %).
Average retrieval performance of cosine-modulated wavelet is 74.78% and it is
better than standard wavelet.
M-Band wavelet and is marginally better than that in case of Gabor wavelet
method (74.32%) proposed by Ma and Manjunath.
22.
23. In terms of feature extraction time for query image, the Gabor wavelet
is most expensive.
Computational complexity of M-Band wavelet is more as compared to standard wavelet and
cosine-modulated wavelet but five times less as compared to Gabor wavelet.
24. The retrieval performance of M-Band wavelet is consistently superior to
standard wavelet.
If the top 116 (6% of the database) retrievals are considered the performance
increases up to 91.65%, 94.07 %, 94.77%, and 92.375% using, standard wavelet,
M-Band wavelet, cosine-modulated wavelet, and Gabor wavelet respectively.
25.
26. The analysis was performed up to second level (9×2=18 sub bands) of the
wavelet decomposition.
The approach is partly supported by physiological studies of the visual cortex
as reported by Hubel and Wiesel and Daugman .
The energy and standard deviation of decomposed sub bands are computed
as follows:
M N
1
Energy Ek W ij
M N i 1 j 1
1/ 2
M N
1 2
Standard D eviation k
(W ij ij
)
M N i 1 j 1
where W ij is the wavelet-decomposed sub band, M×N is the size of wavelet-
decomposed sub band, k is the number of sub bands (k=18 for two levels), and ij
is the sub band mean value.
27.
28. The performance of the proposed method is tested by conducting
experimentation on Brodatz database.
The results after being investigated show a significant improvement in terms
of average retrieval rate and average retrieval precision as compared to
M_band_DWT, M_band_RWT and other existing transform domain
techniques.
