Purpose: Electroretinogram(ERG) signal noise as well as conducting other bio-signal measurement were generated. It was intened to enhance the accuracy of retinal-related diagnosis with removing signal noise. Methods: Sampling signal was made with generating 60 Hz noise and white noise. The noise were removed using wavelet transforms and bandpass filter. De-noising frequency was compared with Fourier transform spectrum. Removed noises were compared numerically using SNR(signal to noise ratio). Results: The result compared Fourier transform spectrum was showed that 60 Hz noise removed completely and most of white noise was removed by wavelet transforms. 60 Hz and the white noise remained using bandpass filters. The result compared SNR showed that wavelet transforms was 22.8638 and bandpass filter was 4.0961. Conclusions: Wavelet transform showed less signal distortion in removing noise. ERG signal is expected to improve the accuracy of retinal-related diagnosis.

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.

As a wavelet transform which is presented as a new technique of signal processing field has time and frequency localization capabilities, it's possible for multiresolution analysis as well as easy to analyze various signal. So it is being applied in many fields recently. And when two wavelet base were designed to form Hilbert transform pair, wavelet pair show superior performance than the existing DWT(discrete wavelet transform) in data detection of pulse type. Therefore in this paper, we detected position of impulse noise by using two dyadic wavelet base which is designed by truncated coefficient vector.

Edge, detected from image processing includes variety of information about original image's location and shape etc. So a lot of researches for detecting those edges have been continuing even now. And with the recent progress of wavelet theory which is presented as a new technique of signal processing fields, wavelet transform is being applied to many fields which analyzes singularities of image. For this reason, this paper detected original image's edge from the information such as local maximum, direction, and location of the wavelet transform data by using wavelet function which is independent of width of line.

Recently, many methods to analyze signal have been proposed and representative methods are the Fourier transform and wavelet transform. In these methods, the Fourier transform represents signal with combination cosine and sine at all locations in the frequency domain. However, it doesn't provide time information that particular frequency occurs in signal and depends on only the global feature of the signal. So, to improve these points the wavelet transform which is capable of multiresolution analysis has been applied to many fields such as speech processing, image processing and computer vision. And the wavelet transform, which uses changing window according to scale parameter, presents time-frequency localization. In this paper, we proposed a new approach using a wavelet of cosine and sine type and analyzed features of signal in a limited point of frequency-time plane.

This paper describes a development of efficient stress ECG signal analysis algorithm. The algorithm consists of wavelet adaptive filter(WAF), QRS detector and ST segment detector. The WAF consists of a wavelet transform and an adaptive filter. The wavelet transform decomposed the ECG signal into seven levels using wavelet function for each high frequency bank and low frequency bank. The adaptive filter used the signal of the seventh lowest frequency band among the wavelet transformed signals as primary input. For detection of QRS complex, we made summed signals that are composed of high frequency bands including frequency component of QRS complex and applied the adaptive threshold method changing the amplitude of threshold according to RR interval. For evaluation of the performance of the WAF, we used two baseline wandering elimination filters including a standard filter and a general adaptive filter. WAF showed a better performance than compared filters in the noise elimination characteristics and signal distortion. For evaluation of WAF showed a better performance than compared filters in the noise elimination characteristics and signal distortion. For evaluation of results of QRS complex detection, we compared our algorithm with existing algorithms using MIT/BIH database. Our algorithm using summed signals showed the accuracy of 99.67% and the higher performance of QRS detection than existing algorithms. Also, we used European ST-T database and patient data to evaluate measurement of the ST segment and could measure the ST segment adaptively according to change of heart rate.

본 논문에서는 웨이브렛 변환 영역의 정보를 신경망 학습을 통하여 영상검색에 관한 연구를 제안하였다. 영상검색은 연구가 이루어지고 있지만, 영상의 특징을 정확하게 표현한다는 것은 현실적으로 어렵기 때문에 영상의 저장 및 검색에 많은 어려움이 있다. 따라서 영상데이터의 효율적인 저장 및 검색을 위해서는 공간 영역보다는 변환 영역에서의 특징추출 방법이 고려되어야 한다. 본 논문에서는 웨이브렛 변환 후 생성되는 저주파 대역의 영상을 일정한 크기로 ( 2$^n$$\times$2$^n$) 분할한 다음 각 블록의 표준편차를 구하고, 주어진 경계 값을 기준으로 작성된 블록 맵을 유사성의 척도로 이용하여 유사한 영상을 함께 모아 카테고리 분류에 의한 저장을 한다. 또한 질의영상에 대한 블록 맵을 신경망 학습을 통해 해당 카테고리를 찾아 1:1매칭을 통한 검색을 함으로써 검색 시간을 줄이고, 제안된 시스템 효율을 증대 시킬 수 있었다.

This paper is a study on Dual Tree Complex Wavelet Transform, which improved directional information for efficient image processing. Dual Tree Complex Wavelet Transform satisfies characteristics of shift invariance, and includes 6 directional information, which is more than previous Discrete Wavelet Transform. However, in images of buildings, there are many horizontal and vertical edge components. Therefore, all the high-frequency components of image are not expressed by 6 directional information subbands. This paper proposes 8-directional Complex Wavelet Transform with excellent high-frequency separation features by creating horizontal vertical($0^{\circ}$, $90^{\circ}$) subband besides 6 directional information subband of previous Dual Tree Complex Wavelet Transform. The proposed method can create and combine various directional information subbands according to features of image. Performance is evaluated by applying the method to noise removal.

This research analyzed the HRV signals by using wavelet transform to observe the activities of autonomous nervous system in a sleep state. This research also restructured the HRV signals from electrocardiogram and by using coefficient which was obtained through wavelet transform, analyzed the signals by frequency bandwidth. Then compared the analyzed results with existing frequency analyzing method using AR model techniques. The suggested wavelet coefficient from power spectrum component in the study shows a similar tendency with the results from FFT or AR model technique. Therefore, it can be found that power spectrum analyzing method by wavelet coefficient is a useful as a tool for analyzing autonomous nervous system activities using HRV signals. Since the suggested method able to clearly depict the progression of change in time zone, which was once impossible with the existing methods, it is presumed that it will be useful in other physiological signals.
