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.

This paper presents a watermarking algorithm in the discrete wavelet transform domain using evolutionary algorithm. The proposed algorithm consists of wavelet-domain watermark insertion and genetic algorithm-based watermark extraction. More specifically watermark is inserted to the low-frequency region of wavelet transform domain, and watermark extraction is efficiently performed by using the evolutionary algorithm. The proposed watermarking algorithm is robust against various attacks such as JPEG and JPEG2000 image compression and geometric transformations.

Gas insulated switchgear(GIS) is an important equipment in a substation. It is highly desirable to measure a partial discharge(PD) in GIS which is a symptom before insulation breakdown occurs. The issue is that the PD signal is weak and sensitive to external noise. In this paper, the algorithm for detection of PD in GIS using wavelet transform is proposed. The wavelet transform provides a direct quantitative measure of spectral content, "dynamic spectrum", in the time-frequency domain. The recommended mother wavelet is 'Daubechies' wavelet. 'db4', the most commonly applied mother wavelet in the power quality analysis, can be used most properly in disturbance phenomena which occurs rapidly for a short time. Through the procedure of wavelet transform, noise extraction and reconstruction, the signal is Analyzed to determine the magnitude of PD in GIS. In experimental results, we can know that partial discharge is exactly detected in combination of Dl and D2 using wavelet transform.transform.

In order to approximate a nonlinear function, wavelet neural networks combining wavelet theory and neural networks have been proposed as an alterantive to coventional multi-layered neural networks. Wavelet neural networks provide better approximating performance than conventional neural networks. In this paper, an effective method to construct an optimal wavelet neural network is proposed using genetic algorithm. This is verified through experimental results.

Encryption of digital images has been requested various fields. In the meantime, many algorithms based on a text - based encryption algorithm have been proposed. In this paper, we propose a method of encryption in wavelet transform domain to utilize the characteristics of digital image. In particular, wavelet transform is used to reduce the association between the encrypted image and the original image. Wavelet packet transformations can be decomposed into more subband images than wavelet transform, and various position permutation, numerical transformation, and visual transformation are performed on the coefficients of this subband image. As a result, this paper proposes a method that satisfies the characteristics of high encryption strength than the conventional wavelet transform and reversibility. This method also satisfies the lossless symmetric key encryption and decryption algorithm. The performance of the proposed method is confirmed by visual and quantitative. Experimental results show that the visually encrypted image is seen as a completely different signal from the original image. We also confirmed that the proposed method shows lower values of cross correlation than conventional wavelet transform. And PSNR has a sufficiently high value in terms of decoding performance of the proposed method. In this paper, we also proposed that the degree of correlation of the encrypted image can be controlled by adjusting the number of wavelet transform steps according to the characteristics of the image.

The paper presents an algorithm for estimating the variance of additive zero mean Gaussian noise in an image. The algorithm uses the wavelet transform which is a good tool for energy compaction. The algorithm consists of three steps. At first, high frequency components, wavelet coefficients in HH band, are generated from a noisy image by the wavelet transform. In a second step, high frequency components which are out of the noise range ate eliminated. Finally, if the image has many components eliminated in the previous step, then its noise estimated value is reduced. Experimental results show that the wavelet filter has better performance than the other high pass filters such as a Laplacian filter, residual from a median filter, residual from a mean filter, and a difference operator. In various images, the algorithm reduces 50% of estimated error on an average.

In this paper, we propose a super-resolution algorithm using discrete wavelet transform. In general super-resolution algorithms for single-image, probability based operations have been used for searching high-frequency components. Consequently, the complexity of the algorithm causes the increase of processing time. In the proposed algorithm, we use discrete wavelet transform to find high-frequency sub-bands. We perform inverse discrete wavelet transform using input image and high-frequency sub-bands of the same resolution as the input image which are obtained by performing discrete wavelet transform without down-sampling and then we obtain image with high-resolution. In the proposed algorithm, we use the down-sampled version of the original image ($512{\times}512$) as a test image ($256{\times}256$) to compare the performance of algorithms. Through experimental results, we confirm the improved efficiency of the proposed algorithm comparing with conventional interpolation algorithms and also decreased processing time comparing the probability based operations.

Incidents, which is unexpected unusual events such as traffic accidents, have increased on the most roads in Korea. The obstruction of a fluent traffic flow occurred by incidents causes the traffic congestion and decreases the capacity. The Wavelet technique was applied to detect the road section and the happening time of incidents on urban freeways in this study, and this technique has been widely used in many engineering fields such as an electrical engineering, etc. The availability and validity of the Wavelet technique to the detection of incidents was examined by the occupancy rate, the important element of traffic flows, which is extracted from the data of detectors installed on Seoul Urban freeways. Then, this result is compared to the California Algorithm and the Low-Pass Filtering Algorithm among basic present detection algorithms, which are based on the occupancy rate. As a result, the false alarm rate of this method was similar as that of the California algorithm and the Low-Pass Filtering algorithm, but the detection rate is higher.

In this paper we present a text detection method inspired by wavelet packet analysis and improved fuzzy clustering algorithm(IAFC).This approach assumes that the text and non-text regions are considered as two different texture regions. The text detection is achieved by using wavelet packet analysis as a feature analysis. The wavelet packet analysis is a method of wavelet decomposition that offers a richer range of possibilities for document image. From these multi scale features, we adapt the improved fuzzy clustering algorithm based on the unsupervised learning rule. The results show that our text detection method is effective for document images scanned from newspapers and journals.
