A theory of binary wavelets which are performed over binary field has been recently proposed. Binary wavelet transform (BWT) of binary images can be used as an alternative to the real-valued wavelet transform of binary images in image processing applications such as compression, edge detection, and recognition. The BWT, however, requires large amount of computations for binary wavelet reconstruction since its operation is accomplished by matrix multiplication. In this paper, an efficient binary wavelet reconstruction method which utilizes filtering operation instead of matrix multiplication is presented. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can significantly reduce the computational complexity of the BWT. For the reconstruction of an $N{\times}N$ image, the proposed technique requires only $2MN^2$ multiplications and $2N(M-1)^2$ additions when the filter length M, while the BWT needs $2N^3$ multiplications and $2N(N-1)^2$ additions.

In this paper we present a new image denoising filter that can suppress additive noise components while preserving signal components in the wavelet domain. The proposed filter, which we call an adaptive wavelet shrinkage(AWS) filter, is composed of two operators: the wavelet killing operator and the adaptive shrinkage operator. Each operator is selected based on the threshold value which is estimated adaptively by using the local statistics of the wavelet coefficients. In the wavelet killing operation, the small wavelet coefficients below the threshold value are replaced by zero to suppress noise components in the wavelet domain. The adaptive shrinkage operator attenuates noise components from the wavelet components above the threshold value adaptively. The experimental results show that the proposed filter is more effective than the other methods in preserving signal components while suppressing noise.

In this study, land-cover classification was implemented using features extracted from multi-temporal SAR data through 3D wavelet transform and the applicability of the 3D wavelet transform as a feature extraction approach was evaluated. The feature extraction stage based on 3D wavelet transform was first carried out before the classification and the extracted features were used as input for land-cover classification. For a comparison purpose, original image data without the feature extraction stage and Principal Component Analysis (PCA) based features were also classified. Multi-temporal Radarsat-1 data acquired at Dangjin, Korea was used for this experiment and five land-cover classes including paddy fields, dry fields, forest, water, and built up areas were considered for classification. According to the discrimination capability analysis, the characteristics of dry field and forest were similar, so it was very difficult to distinguish these two classes. When using wavelet-based features, classification accuracy was generally improved except built-up class. Especially the improvement of accuracy for dry field and forest classes was achieved. This improvement may be attributed to the wavelet transform procedure decomposing multi-temporal data not only temporally but also spatially. This experiment result shows that 3D wavelet transform would be an effective tool for feature extraction from multi-temporal data although this procedure should be tested to other sensors or other areas through extensive experiments.

In inverse acoustic problem with nearfield sources, it is important to separate multiple acoustic sources and to measure the position of each target. This paper proposes a new algorithm by applying MUSIC(Multiple Signal Classification) to the outputs of discrete wavelet transformation with sub-band selection based on the entropy threshold, Some numerical experiments show that the proposed method can estimate the more precise positions than a conventional MUSIC algorithm under moderately correlated signal and relatively low signal-to-noise ratio case.

In this paper, we propose a fault diagnosis algorithm of induction motors by DFT and wavelet. We extract a feature vector using a fault pattern extraction method by DFT in frequency domain and wavelet transform in time-frequency domain. And then we deal with a fusion algorithm for the feature vectors extracted from DFT and wavelet to classify the faults of induction motors. Finally, we provide an experimental results that the proposed algorithm can be successfully applied to classify the several fault signals acquired from induction motors.

Contourlet transform is an extention of the wavelet transform in two dimensions using the multiscale and directional fillet banks. The contourlet transform has the advantages of multiscale and time-frequency-localization properties of wavelets, but also provides a high degree of directionality. In this paper, we propose a face recognition system based on fusion methods using contourlet transform and PCA. After decomposing a face image into directional subband images by contourlet, features are obtained in each subband by PCA. Finally, face recognition is performed by fusion technique that effectively combines similarities calculated respectively In each local subband. To show the effectiveness of the proposed method, we performed experiments for ORL and CBNU dataset, and then we obtained better recognition performance in comparison with the results produced by conventional methods.
