In this paper, we propose a flame detection method using Haar wavelet and moving averages in outdoor infrared video sequences. Our proposed method is composed of three steps which are Haar wavelet decomposition, flame candidates detection, and their tracking and flame classification. In Haar wavelet decomposition, each frame is decomposed into 4 sub- images(LL, LH, HL, HH), and also computed high frequency energy components using LH, HL, and HH. In flame candidates detection, we compute a binary image by thresholding in LL sub-image and apply morphology operations to the binary image to remove noises. After finding initial boundaries, final candidate regions are extracted using expanding initial boundary regions to their neighborhoods. In tracking and flame classification, features of region size and high frequency energy are calculated from candidate regions and tracked using queues, and we classify whether the tracked regions are flames by temporal changes of moving averages.

In this paper, we study the technique to improve the performance of the aerial images taken by UAV using daubechies stationary wavelet transform. When aerial images taken by UAV were damaged by gaussian noise very commonly applied, the experiment for image performance improvement was performed. It was known that stationary wavelet transform is the transferring solution to the problem occurred by down sampling from DWT also more efficient to remove noise than DWT. Also haar wavelet is discontinuous function so not efficient for smooth signal and image processing. Therefore, this study is confirmed that the noise can be removed by daubechies stationary wavelet and the performance is improved by haar stationary wavelet.

This paper presents the modeling method of nonlinear circuits with lumped elements by using a hybrid Haar -wavelet MRTD/FDTD techniques. To analyze nonlinear circuits with lumped elements, the Haar-wavelet MRTD scheme is applied to the entire structure of interest and the conventional FDTD scheme is locally used to describe the characteristics of the lumped elements. To validate the scheme, microstrip structure with lumped elements and a single diode mixer are simulated.

Fault detection of cycle-based signals is typically performed using statistical approaches. Univariate SPC using few representative statistics and multivariate analysis methods such as PCA and PLS are the most popular methods for analyzing cycle-based signals. However, such approaches are limited when dealing with information-rich cycle-based signals. In this paper, process fault defection method based on wavelet analysis is proposed. Using Haar wavelet, coefficients that well reflect the process condition are selected. Next, Hotelling's $T^2$ chart using selected coefficients is constructed for assessment of process condition. To enhance the overall efficiency of fault detection, the following two steps are suggested, i.e. denoising method based on wavelet transform and coefficient selection methods using variance difference. For performance evaluation, various types of abnormal process conditions are simulated and the proposed algorithm is compared with other methodologies.

By using an adaptive threshold and weight based on the wavelet transform and Haar transform, a novel image enhancement algorithm is proposed. First, a medical image was decomposed with wavelet transform and all high-frequency sub-images were decomposed with Haar transform. Secondly, noise in the frequency domain was reduced by the proposed soft-threshold method. Thirdly, high-frequency coefficients were enhanced by the proposed weight values in different sub-images. Then, the enhanced image was obtained through the inverse Haar transform and wavelet transform. But the pixel range of the enhanced image is narrower than a normal image. Lastly, the image's histogram was stretched by nonlinear histogram equalization. Experiments showed that the proposed method can be not only enhance an image's details but can also preserve its edge features effectively.

Various time series representation methods have been proposed for efficient time series clustering and classification. Lin et al. (DMKD, 15, 107-144, 2007) proposed a symbolic aggregate approximation (SAX) method based on symbolic representations after approximating the original time series using piecewise local mean. The performance of SAX therefore depends heavily on how well the piecewise local averages approximate original time series features. SAX equally divides the entire series into an arbitrary number of segments; however, it is not sufficient to capture key features from complex, large-scale time series data. Therefore, this paper considers data-adaptive local constant approximation of the time series using the unbalanced Haar wavelet transformation. The proposed method is shown to outperforms SAX in many real-world data applications.

In this paper, we propose an optimal wavelet in a system for canceling background noise of acoustic signals. This system performed Discrete Wavelet Transform(DWT) instead of the existing Short Time Fourier Transform(STFT) and then improved noise cancellation performance through a deep learning process. DWT functions as a multi-resolution band-pass filter and obtains transformation parameters by time-shifting the parent wavelet at each level and using several wavelets whose sizes are scaled. Here, the noise cancellation performance of several wavelets was tested to select the most suitable mother wavelet for analyzing the speech. In this study, to verify the performance of the noise cancellation system for various wavelets, a simulation program using Tensorflow and Keras libraries was created and simulation experiments were performed for the four most commonly used wavelets. As a result of the experiment, the case of using Haar or Daubechies wavelets showed the best noise cancellation performance, and the mean square error(MSE) was significantly improved compared to the case of using other wavelets.

In this paper, we propose a real-time face detection/tracking methodology with Haar wavelets and skin color. The proposed method boosts face detection and face tracking performance by combining skin color and Haar wavelets in an efficient way. The proposed method resolves the problem such as rotation and occlusion due to the characteristic of the condensation algorithm based on sampling despite it uses same features in both detection and tracking. In particular, it can be applied to a variety of applications such as face recognition and facial expression recognition which need an exact position and size of face since it not only keeps track of the position of a face, but also covers the size variation. Our test results show that our method performs well even in a complex background, a scene with varying face orientation and so on.
