  • In this paper, we proposed a robust watermark scheme for image based on SVD(Singular Value Transform) and Triplet. First, the original image is decomposed by using 3-level DWT, and then used the singular values changed for embedding and extracting of the watermark sequence in LL3 band. Since the matrix of singular values is not easily altered with various signal processing noises, the embedded watermark sequence has the ability to withstand various signal processing noise attacks. Nevertheless, this method does not guarantee geometric transformation(such as rotation, cropping, etc.) because the geometric transformation changes the matrix size. In this case, the watermark sequence cannot be extracted. To compensate for the above weaknesses, a method which uses the triplet for embedding a barcode image watermark in the middle of frequency band is proposed. In order to generate the barcode image watermark, the pattern of the watermark sequence embedded in a LL3 band is used. According to this method, the watermark information can be extracted from attacked images.

  • In noise reduction method from noisy speech for speech recognition in noisy environments, conventional spectral subtraction method has a disadvantage which distinction of noise and speech is difficult, and characteristic of noise can't be estimated accurately. Also, noise reduction method in the wavelet transform domain has a disadvantage which loss of signal is generated in the high frequency domain. In order to compensate theme disadvantage, this paper propose spectral subtraction method in continuous wavelet transform domain which speech and non- speech intervals is distinguished by standard deviation of wavelet coefficient, and signal is divided three scales at different scale. The proposed method extract accurately characteristic of noise in order to apply spectral subtraction method by end detection and band division. The proposed method shows better performance than noise reduction method using conventional spectral subtraction and wavelet transform from viewpoint signal to noise ratio and Itakura-Saito distance by experimental.

  • In this paper, we propose a feature extraction method for iris recognition using wavelet transforms. The wavelet transform is fast and has a good localization characteristic. In particular, the low frequency band can be used as an effective feature vector. In iris recognition, the noise caused by eyelid the eyebrow, glint, etc may be included in iris. The iris pattern is distorted by noises by itself, and a feature extraction algorithm based on filter such as Wavelets, Gabor transform spreads noises into whole iris region. Namely, such noises degrade the performance of iris recognition systems a major problem. This kind of noise has adverse effect on performance. In order to solve these problems, we propose to divide the iris image into a number of sub-region and apply the wavelet transform to each sub-region. Experimental results show that the performance of proposed method is comparable to existing methods using Gabor transform and region division noticeably improves recognition performance. However, it is noted that the processing time of the wavelet transform is much faster than that of the existing methods.

  • In this paper, the 1-level DWT(Discrete Wavelet Transform) coefficients of a binary logo image are used as the watermark. The watermark should be inserted in the same band which is equivalent to the host image when the watermark is inserted in the wavelet domain. This is the image fusion of the proposed watermarking method. The watermark is inserted in relatively significant coefficients after the insertion area is defined. The more significant coefficients have the important information because they are identified as the edge and major surface in images. The significant coefficients are defined when their absolute value exceeds the threshold. The standard deviation is used as the weight value of watermark insertion in order to strengthen the weight of the watermark insertion according to the value of the coefficients. The proposed watermarking method is an adaptive scheme, and the proposed two detection algorithms can be adaptively used when the watermarked image is distorted by cropping, filtering, or compression.

  • Precipitation variability in Korea is mainly influenced by climate circulation such as sea surface temperature, not a local convection. Therefore, this study investigates relationship between monthly precipitation of 61 station observed by Korea Meteorological Administration and global sea surface temperatures (SSTs). The main components of monthly precipitation in Korea are extracted by a method which consists of the principal analysis combined with the cluster analysis, to examine the correlation between monthly rainfalls and SSTs. The relationships between main components of monthly precipitation and SSTs exists in Pacific Ocean. At the result of Wavelet Transform analysis, The 2-4 year band have a strong wavelet power spectrum and the low frequency. the correlation coefficient between low frequency components of monthly rainfalls and SSTs calculated bigger then correlation coefficient between main components and SSTs. Hence, these results propose a prediction possibility of monthly precipitations using the varition of SSTs.

  • In this paper, the extraction method of the edge histogram directly using wavelet coefficients in the wavelet domain for JPEG2000 images is proposed. MPEG-7 Edge Histogram Descriptor(EHD) extracts edge histogram in the spacial domain. This algorithm has much multiplication and addition for the edge extraction because it needs the decoding processing. However because the proposed algorithm extracts the edge histogram in the wavelet domain, it doesn't need the decoding processing and it decreases multiplication and addition. The Discrete Wavelet Transform(DWT) is a standard transform in JPEG2000. The proposed algorithm uses Le Gall 5/3 filter in JPEG2000 and odd coefficients in LH2 and HL2 sub-band. The edge direction can be decided to use rate of HL2 and LH2 odd coefficients. According to experiments, there is no difference of the efficiency between EHD and the proposed algorithm And the proposed algorithm is much better than EHD for multiplication and addition in the edge extraction of images.

  • This paper describes the remote monitoring of breaking ocean waves generated by Typhoon Nabi, whose name means butterfly in Korean, using a marine X-band radar in the Yongho Man, Busan, Korea. The basic purpose of this study is to investigate the dynamic behavior and to estimate the periods of breaking waves across the surf zone from radar image sequences. In these experiments, the land-based radar system imaged the inshore zone of three miles from the coastline to a isobath of 30 meters. The wave period and the dominant wave direction for breaking ocean waves extracted directly from radar image sequences were 157.4 meters and 298 degrees, respectively. However, the result calculated quantitatively by the continuous wavelet transform (CWT) showed that the period of breaking waves was 154.3 meters. The average difference in breaking wave periods between the value extracted by using EBRL (electronic bearing and range line) of radar and the calculated value by CWT was 3.1 meters, showing that the CWT method is also accurate. These results suggest that a marine X-band radar system is a viable method of monitoring the breaking ocean waves.

  • In this paper, we propose motion estimation and compensation using Low-Band-Shift(LBS) with Integer Lifting Shift property. To overcome shift-variant property on wavelet coefficients, the LBS was previously proposed. This method which is applied to reference frame in video coding technique has superior performance in terms of rate-distortion characteristic. However, this method needs more memory and computational complexity. For the enhancement of those disadvantages, we propose motion estimation using Low-Band-Shift with Integer Lifting. The Integer Lifting implementation gives us good efficiency of calculation and storage.

  • This paper proposes a robust speech recognition algorithm based on the wavelet filter banks. Since the proposed algorithm adopts a multiple band decision-making scheme, it performs robustness for noise as the presence of noisy severely degrades the performance of speech recognition system. For evaluating the performance of the proposed scheme, we compared it with the conventional speech recognizer based on the VQ for the 10-isolated korean digits with car noise. Here, the proposed method showed more 9~27% improvement of the recognition rate than the conventional VQ algorithm for the various car noisy environments.

  • In this paper, we propose the face recognition method using Harr wavelet transform and 2D PCA. While previous PCA computed the covariance matrix by using one dimensional vectors, 2D PCA computed the covarinace matrix by using direct two dimensional image and extracted feature vector by solving eigenvalue problem. To gain the face image having the low dimension and robust property, the proposed method uses wavelet transformation. We apply the LL band image data to 2D PCA for face recognition. The experimental results indicate that our method improves recognition rate than 2D PCA into original image.
