This paper presents a novel scratch detection and removal approach for old film images in wavelet-domain. Various scratch detection and removal algorithms have been proposed for past decades. However, accurate scratch detection and removal with a moderate amount of computing effort is still a problem because of trade off between the quality of the film and computational load. For overcoming this problem, we first decompose an input image using a 3-level wavelet transform, and then remove the scratch by shrinking wavelet coefficients using linear interpolation. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can efficiently detect and remove the scratch in damaged films, and also be incorporated into old film restoration systems.

In this study, QRS complex is detected by Wavelet Transform and it can be worked in 32bit fixed point operation thought optimization. First, ECG signal is passed though band pass filter. Second, it is transformed using one-band combined wavelet function from 3-band wavelet function. Third, it is passed though moving window integral. Finally, QRS complex is detected by decision rule. The proposed algorithm is evaluated using MIT-BIH arrhythmia database. Its all of process make progress 32-bit fixed-point operation and it makes table that high complexity operations like trigonometrical function. The detection algorithm evaluate through computer simulation.

It is shown that the multiscale prewhitening matched filter for detecting Gaussian objects in Markov noise can be implemented by the undecimated wavelet transform with a biorthogonal spline wavelet. If the object to be detected is Gaussian shaped and its scale coincides with one of those computed by the wavelet transform, and if the background noise is truly Markov, then optimum detection is realized by thresholding the appropriate details image. Our detection algorithm is applied to the digitized mammograms for detecting microcalcifications. However, microcalcifications are not exactly Gaussian shaped and its background noise may not be Markov. In order to campensate for these discrepancy, Hotelling observer is employed, which is applied to feature vectors comprised of 3-octave wavelet coefficients.

In this paper, we propose an effective method to extract background components in automated vision inspection system for polarized film used in TFT LCD display panels. The test image signals are typically composed of three components such as ununiform background, random noises and target defect signals. It is important to analyze the background signal for accurate extraction of defect components. Two dimensional continuous wavelets with first derivative gaussian is used. This methods can be applied for reliable extraction of defect signal by elimination of the background signal from the original image. The proposed method outperforms over conventional FFT methods.

It is well known that the double integration of measured acceleration records is one of the most difficult signal processing, particularly in the measurements on civil engineering structures, The measured accelerations of civil engineering structures are usually non-stationary and contain non-gaussian low-frequency noises, which can be significant causes of numerical instabilities in double Integration, For the de-noising of this kind of signals, wavelet transform can be very effective because of its inherent processing features for non-stationary signals, In this paper, the de-noising algorithm for the double integration is proposed using the modified wavelet transform, which is extended version of ordinary wavelet transform to process non-gaussian and low-frequency noises, using the median filter concept, The example studies show that the integration can be improved by the proposed method.

In this paper, a new watermarking algorithm that based on wavelet packet transform is proposed for remote sensing images, which include many high frequency components. It applies watermark to the overall subband that includes the lowest frequency band. Watermark is embedded on original image after selecting the significant wavelet packet coefficients. For selection of significant coefficients which watermarks is embedded on, zerotree algorithm is applied to wavelet packet coefficients using CPSO (Coefficient Partitioning Scanning Order). From the experimental result, the proposed algorithm shows better invisibility and robustness performance compare with conventional watermarking methods. Especially, it demonstrates better robustness for high image compression in the remote images.

Noisy data are often fitted using a smoothing parameter, controlling the importance of two objectives that are opposite to a certain extent. One of these two is smoothness and the other is closeness to the input data. The optimal value of this parameter minimizes the error of the result. This optimum cannot be found exactly, simply because the exact data are unknown. This paper propose the threshold value for noise reduction based on wavelet-thresholding. In the proposed method PSNR results show that the threshold value performs excellently in comparison with conventional methods without knowing the noise variance and volume of signal.

As the usage of digital image contents increase, a security problem for the payed image data or the ones requiring confidentiality is raised. This paper propose a depth-map image contents encryption methodology to hide the depth information. This method is performed on the frequency coefficients in the Wavelet domain. This method, by selecting the level and threshold value for the wavelet transform, encryption at various strengths are possible. The experimental results showed that encrypting only 0.048% of the entire data was enough to hide the constants of the depth-map. The encryption algorithm expected to be used effectively on the researches on encryption and others for image processing.

본 논문에서는 비디오 컨텐츠 내에 소유자와 구매자 정보를 함께 포함하는 핑거프린팅 정보를 삽입하여 불법으로 배포된 핑거프린팅 컨텐츠로부터 배포자가 누구인지를 추적할 수 있는 기법을 보인다. 특히, 문헌[1]에서 제시된 시간축 웨이블릿 변환을 이용하여 핑거프린팅 정보가 삽입될 영역을 분리해 주고, 역 변환을 통해 전 영역의 비디오 프레임에 정보가 삽입되게 된다. 이로 인해 핑거프린팅된 컨텐츠의 상이성을 이용한 기존의 여러 공모공격에도 강인함을 보이고 있다. 또한, 비디오 컨텐츠의 특성상 MPEG2의 압축에도 불법 배포자를 추적할 수 있는 강인함을 보인다.
