In this paper, the wavelet image coder, that can encode the bit-level information of wavelet coefficients, is proposed. The proposed coder is used the modified EZW algorithm and significant coefficient array that has bit level information of the wavelet coefficients to reduce the memory requirement in coding process. The significant coefficient array is two dimensional data structure that has bit level information of the wavelet coefficients. The proposed algorithm performs the coding of the significance coefficients and coding of bit level information of wavelet coefficients at a time by using the significant coefficient array. Experimental results show a better or similar performance of the proposed method when compared with conventional embedded wavelet coding algorithm. Especially, the proposed algorithm performs stably without image distortion at various bit rates with minimum memory usage by using the significant coefficient array.

The pseudocolor mage enhancement of gray image using wavelet filter coefficients is presented. The psuedocolor enhancement is that the decomposition enhancement is realized by wavelet transform and RGB image is extracted by wavelet filter coefficients with norma waveletl. The result of experiment an increases enhanced gray image as 30dB compared the processing of wavelet filter coefficients.

In this paper, we propose a method for the improvement of EZW encoding algorithm. The EZW algorithm encodes wavelet coefficients using 4 symbols such as POS(POsitive), NEG(NEGative), IZ(Isolated Zero), and ZTR(ZeroTreeRoot) which are determined by the significance of wavelet coefficients. In this paper, we applied threshold to wavelet coefficients to improve the EZW algorithm. The coefficients below the threshold are adjusted to zero to generate more ZTR symbols in the encoding process. The overall EZW image compression system is constructed using run-length coding and arithmetic coding. The system shows remarkable results for various images. We finally present experimentation results.

본 논문에서는 세포 영상에 대해 Wavelet 계수을 이용한 인식 방법을 제안하고 있다. 자궁 경부세포진은 핵과 세포질을 분할하기 힘들기 때문에 영역분할을 통해 얻은 핵특징이 잘못 계산될 수 있어 인식율이 떨어진다. 따라서 핵의 세포만을 나타낼 수 있도록 핵의 정보를 포함하고 있는 고대역 부밴드에서는 20$\times$20 영상을 사용하였고, 세포질에 정보를 포함하고 있는 저대역 부밴드에서는 50$\times$50의 영상을 사용하였다. 영상 인식을 위한 특징 추출은 2단계 Wavelet 변환후 생성된 변환 영역에 대해서 Wavelet 계수 평균값 표준편차와 Energy를 사용하였다. 실험 결과 Wavelet 계수를 이용한 방법이 영역분할을 이용한 방법과 비교하여 더 높은 인식율 보였다.

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 paper suggest for methods disease region feature extraction of medical image using wavelet. In the preprocessing, the shape informations of medical image are selected by performing the discrete wavelet transform(DWT) with four level coefficient matrix. In this approach, based on the characteristics of the coefficient matrix, 96 feature parameters are calculated as follows: Firstly. obtaining 32 feature parameters which have the characteristics of low frequency from the parameters according to the horizontal high frequency are calculated from the coefficient matrix of horizontal high frequency. In the third place, 16 vertical feature parameters are also calculated using the same kind of procedure with respect to the vertical high frequency. Finally, 32 feature parameters of diagonal high frequency are obtained from the coefficient matrix of diagonal high frequency. Consequently, 96 feature aprameters extracted. Using suggest algorithm in this paper will, implamentation can automatic recognition system, increasing efficiency of picture achieve communication system.

In this paper, we present a novel space-frequency adaptive image restoration approach using vaguelette-wavelet decomposition (VWD). The proposed algorithm classifies a degraded image into flat and edge regions by using spatial information of the wavelet coefficient. For reducing the noise we perform an adaptive wavelet shrinkage process. At edge region candidates, we adopt entropy approach for estimating the noise and remove it by using relative between sub-bands. After shrinking wavelet coefficients process, we restore the degraded image using the VWD. The proposed algorithm can reduce the noise without affecting the sharpness details. Based on the experimental results, the proposed algorithm efficiently proved to be able to restore the degraded image while preserving details.

A new image coding technique has been proposed based on the wavelet transform. To achieve lower ceding rates and good qualities in reconstructed images, some of wavelet coefficients were removed by thresholding and quantized in accordance with the sensitivity of the human visual system(HVS). For each block of subimages in wavelet transform domain, block thresholding scheme has been used to remove the unimportant wavelet coefficients according to the frequency characteristic and statistical property of wavelet coefficients. The location information of quantized blocks and removed blocks were encoded using run-length coder which is effective for the exponential distribution. Quantized coefficients were encoded using variable length coder which matches well to their distribution. Simulation results show that the reconstructed images maintain high quality with the low bit rate, below 1.0 bits per pel.

In order to provide an efficient way to processing with limited resources, we propose a wavelet coder that operates with little memory usage on the portable embedded system. In order to reduce redundancy in coding process caused by repetitive scanning of wavelet coefficients, the proposed coder uses a 2D significance coefficient array (SCA) which records the bit-level information of wavelet coefficients. The 2D SCA improves memory usage and processing speed required for image coding because it can perform significance check and bit coding of coefficients simultaneously.
