This paper presents a method for registering images using phase correlation technique in fourier domain, hough transform and multi-resolution wavelet. To register images, source and input images are transformed to wavelet domain. An angular transition can be obtained by applying hough transform technique followed by phase correlation. Then we apply phase correlation technique to find x-axis and y-axis transition. We apply wavelet transform to reduce processing time and also use its coefficients as edge information instead of canny detector. With multi-resolution property of wavelet transform, registration time can be greatly reduced. After we get all transition parameters, we transform the input images according to these parameters. Then, we compose and blend all images into a new large image with details of all source images. From our experiment, we can find the accurate transition both x-y translation and angular transition with less error.

In this study, Ringing is investigated by continuous wavelet transform. Ringing is considered to be one of the typical transient phenomena in the field of ocean engineering. The wavelet analysis is adopted to analyze ringing from the point that wavelet analysis is capable of frequency analysis as well as time domain analysis. The use mother wavelet is the Morlet wavelet. The relation between the frequency of the time series and that of wavelet can be clearly defined with Mor1et wavelet. Experimental data obtained by other researchers was used. The wave height time series and acceleration times series of the surface piercing cylinder were analyzed. The results show that the proposed scheme can detect typical frequency region by the time domain analysis which could hardly be detected if one relied on the frequency analysis.

The regularity of railway track alignment is a crucial component fur maintaining travel safety and the smoothness of passenger ride. The conventional spectral analysis has been considered to estimate the severity of the track irregularity from measured data. The time domain data used to be changed into the frequency domain by Fourier transform. Because the measuring points can be regarded as the time points, the spatial-frequency can be introduced instead of the time-frequency. Although FFT(Fast Fourier Transform) and/or PSD(Power Spectral Density) function could provide fairly localized information within frequency domain, but chronical configurations of data could be missed. In this study, we attempt to apply the Morlet wavelet transform for the purpose of a frequency-time-domain analysis rather than a frequency-domain analysis. The applicability of wavelet transform is examined for the estimation of the track irregularity with real measured track data on the section of Kyoung-bu line by EM-120 measuring vehicle. It is shown that the wavelet transform can be an effective tool to manage the track irregularity.

All physical data in the real world are nonstationary signals that have the time varying statistical characteristics. Although few algorithms suitable to process the nonstationary signals have ever been suggested, these are treated the nonstationary signals under the assumption that the nonstationary signal is a piece-wise stationary signal. Recently, statistical analysis algorithms for the nonstationary signal have concentrated so much interest. In this paper, nonstationary EMG signals are mapped onto the orthogonal wavelet transform domain so that the eigenvalue spread of its autocorrelation matrix could be more smaller than that in the time domain. Then the model in the wavelet transform domain and an algorithm to estimate the model parameters are suggested. Also, an test signal generated by a white gaussian noise and the EMG signal are identified, and the algorithm performance is considered in the sense of the mean square error and the evaluation parameters.

Due to the additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN), images are often corrupted. In recent days, Bayesian estimation techniques to recover noisy images in the wavelet domain have been studied. The probability density function (PDF) of an image in wavelet domain can be described using highly-sharp head and long-tailed shapes. If a priori probability density function having the above properties would be applied well adaptively, better results could be obtained. There were some frequently proposed PDFs such as Gaussian, Laplace distributions, and so on. These functions model the wavelet coefficients satisfactorily and have its own of characteristics. In this paper, mixture distributions of Gaussian and Laplace distribution are proposed, which attempt to corporate these distributions' merits. Such mixture model will be used to remove the noise in images by adopting Maximum a Posteriori (MAP) estimation method. With respect to visual quality, numerical performance and computational complexity, the proposed technique gained better results.

Signal decomposition is a computational technique that dissects a signal into its constituent components, providing supplementary information. In this study, the capability of two common signal decomposition techniques, including wavelet-based and empirical mode decomposition, on preterm birth classification was investigated. Ten time-domain features were extracted from the constituent components of electrohysterogram (EHG) signals, including EHG subbands and EHG intrinsic mode functions, and employed for preterm birth classification. Preterm birth classification and anticipation are crucial tasks that can help reduce preterm birth complications. The computational results show that the preterm birth classification obtained using wavelet-based decomposition is superior. This, therefore, implies that EHG subbands decomposed through wavelet-based decomposition provide more applicable information for preterm birth classification. Furthermore, an accuracy of 0.9776 and a specificity of 0.9978, the best performance on preterm birth classification among state-of-the-art signal processing techniques, were obtained using the time-domain features of EHG subbands.

This paper presents a denoising algorithm that can suppress additive noise components while preserving signal components in the wavelet domain. The algorithm uses the local statistics of wavelet coefficients to attenuate noise components adaptively. Then threshohding operation is followed to reject the residuary noise components in the wavelet coefficients. Simulations are carried out over 1-D signals corrupted by Gaussian noise and the experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

This paper presents a method for designing a multiresolution orthogonal wavelet transform matrix and it is extended to the establishment of the wavelet transform domain sign algorithms(SA). It outperforms the conventional sign algorithm, with performance comparable to the LMS algorithm. Together with Daubechies type 1 wavelet, we could also save additional computations which are required in transforming data.

In this paper, a wavelet transform-based adaptive interference excision scheme using the adaptive algorithm which suppresses narrow band interference in the wavelet transform domain for the direct spread modulation system application, is introduced. Using the Monte-Carlo simulation, the bit error probabilities of the direct spread communication systems with the excision systems of two kinds of Daubechies wavelets (db2, db8) in the transform domain, are analysed. With these results, it is shown that the performance of a system depends on the characteristics of wavelet being used. And with this scheme, we expect effective improvements in the direct spread communication system performance.
