This paper presents a recovery technique for images with block-based corruption by transmission losses. Conventional methods that do not consider edge directions can cause blocked blurring artifacts. In this paper, we present a block recovery scheme using Haar wavelet features. The adaptive selection of neighboring blocks is performed based on the energy ratio f wavelet subbands. The lost blocks are recovered by linear interpolation in the spatial domain using selected block pairs. The proposed directional recovery method is effective for the strong edge because it exploits the varying neighboring blocks adaptively according to the edges and the directional information in the image. The proposed method outperforms the previous methods that used only a predefined set of neighboring blocks.

In this paper, a watermarking technique for digital images is proposed. In our method, an image is 1-1eve1 wavelet transformed, and then the watermark of a binary stamp is embedded into the baseband. The watermark is embedded by inverting the polarities of the selected coefficient pairs. In the inverting process, we can increase perceptual image quality by finding means and differences of the selected neighboring coefficient pairs, and then adding values, which are inversely proportional to the differences, to the means. The experimental results show that the proposed method has good quality and is robust to JPEG lossy compression and various image processing operations.

This paper porposes and efficient coding scheme for remote medical communication systems, or“telemedicine systems”. These systems require a technique which is able to transfer large volume of data such as X-ray images effectively. We have already developed a hierarchical image coding and transmission scheme (HITS), which achieves an efficient transmission of medical images simply[1]. In this paper, a new coding scheme for HITS is proposed, which used hierarchical context modeling for the purpose of improving the coding efficiency. The hierarchical context modeling divides wavelet coefficients into several sets by the value of a correspondent coefficient in their higher class, or“a parent”, optimizes a Golomb-Rice (GR) code parameter in each set, and then encodes the coefficients with the parameter. Computer simulation shows that the proposed scheme is effective with simple implementation. This is due to fact that a wavelet coefficient has dependence on its parent. As a result, high speed data transmission is achieved even if the telemedicine system consists of simple personal computers.

높은 SOC(state-of-charge) 추정알고리즘의 성능을 위해서는 측정된 배터리 단자전압의 정확도가 요구된다. 그렇지만, 예기치 않은 에러로 인해 단자전압에 노이즈 성분이 추가될 경우 SOC 추정성능의 저하를 피할 수 없다. 그러므로, 본 논문에서는 이산 웨이블릿 변환(DWT;discrete wavelet transform)의 다해상도 분석(MRA;multi resolution analysis)의 디노이징(denoising)기법을 적용한 이차전지의 SOC 추정방법을 소개한다. MRA의 시간-주파수 분석을 통해 분해(decomposition)된 저주파 성분(approximation;$A_n$)과 고주파 성분(detail;$D_n$)중 노이즈에 관계된 $D_n$의 고주파 상세 계수(detail coefficient) $d_{j,k}$를 새로이 조정하고 이를 합성(synthesis)하여 디노이징을 마무리 한다. 확장 칼만필터(EKF;extended Kalman filter)의 비교 분석을 통해 제안된 방법의 타당성을 검증한다.

In this paper, we propose a new method for designing the steering controller of Autonomous Underwater Vehicle(AUV) using a Self-Recurrent Wavelet Neural Network(SRWNN). The proposed control method is based on a direct adaptive control technique, and a SRWNN is used for the controller of horizontal motion of AUV. A SRWNN is tuned to minimize errors between the SRWNN outputs and the outputs of AUV via the gradient descent(GD) method. Finally, through the computer simulations, we compare the performance of the propose controller with that of the MLP based controller to verify the superiority and effectiveness of the propose controller.

Selectivity estimation for spatial query is curial in Spatial Database Management Systems(SDBMS). Many works have been performed to estimate accurate selectivity. Although they deal with some problems such as false-count, multi-count arising from properties of spatial dataset, they can not get such effects in little memory space.* Therefore, we need to compress spatial dataset into little memory. In this paper, we propose a new technique called MW Histogram which is able to compress summary data and get reasonable results. Our method is based on two techniques:(a)MinSkew partitioning algorithm which deal with skewed spatial datasets. efficiently (b) Wavelet transformation which compression effect is proven. We evaluate our method via real datasets. The experimental result shows that the MW Histogram has the ability of providing estimates with low relative error and retaining the similar estimates even if memory space is small.

Recently, $Gonz\acute{a}lez-Aud\acute{i}cana$ et al. proposed the substitute wavelet intensity(SWI) method which provided a solution based on the intensity-hue-saturation(IHS) method for the fusing of panchromatic(PAN) and multispectral(MS) images. Although the spectral quality of the fused MS images is enhanced, this method is not efficient enough to quickly merge massive volumes of data from satellite. To overcome this problem, we introduce a new SWI method based on a fast IHS transform to implement efficiently as an alternative procedure. In addition, we show that the method is well applicable for fusing IKONOS PAN with MS images.

The 3D DWT(The Three Dimensional Discrete Wavelet Transform) scheme is potentially regarded as useful one on analyzing both spatial and spectral information. Nevertheless, few researchers have attempted to process or classified remotely sensed images using the 3D DWT. This study aims to apply the 3D DWT to the land cover classification of optical and SAR(Synthetic Aperture Radar) images. Then, their results are evaluated quantitatively and compared with the results of traditional classification technique. As the experimental results, the 3D DWT shows superior classification results to conventional techniques, especially dealing with the high-resolution imagery and SAR imagery. It is thought that the 3D DWT scheme can be extended to multi-temporal or multi-sensor image classification.

In this paper, we propose wavelet-based procedures to identify the difference between images, including portraits and handwriting. The proposed methods are based on a novel combination of multiscale methods with a regularization technique. The multiscale method extracts the local characteristics of an image, and the distinct features are obtained through the regularized regression of the local characteristics. The regularized regression approach copes with the high-dimensional problem to build the relation between the local characteristics. Lytle and Yang (2006) introduced the detection method of forged handwriting via wavelets and summary statistics. We expand the scope of their method to the general image and significantly improve the results. We demonstrate the promising empirical evidence of the proposed method through various experiments.

Wavelet packet modulation (WPM) is a multicarrier modulation (MCM) technique that has emerged as a potential alternative to the widely used orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) method. Because WPM has overlapped symbols, equalization cannot rely on the use of the cyclic prefix (CP), which is used in OFDM. This study applies linear minimum mean-square error (MMSE) equalization in the time domain instead of in the frequency domain to achieve low computational complexity. With a modest equalizer filter length, the imperfection of MMSE equalization results in subcarrier attenuation and noise amplification, which are considered in the development of a bit-loading algorithm. Analytical expressions for the bit error rate (BER) performance are derived and validated using simulation results. A performance evaluation is carried out in different test scenarios as per Recommendation ITU-R M.1225. Numerical results show that WPM with equalization-aware bit loading outperforms OFDM with bit loading. Because previous comparisons between WPM and OFDM did not include bit loading, the results obtained provide additional evidence of the benefits of WPM over OFDM.
