A Medical Image Quantization Method Suited for PACS

Image compression is very important in picture archiving and communication system(PACS). The author studied the statistical distribution of image wavelet subimage coefficients and concluded that the distribution of wavelet subimage coefficients is similar to that of Laplasian distribution. On the other hand, in image reconstruction, the coefficient with different amplitude owns different weight, and different accuracy can be applied to different coefficients according to their different weight. Then, the author has designed a image quantization encoding scheme for PACS. In this scheme, they selected the sample-standard-deviation of coefficients in every subimage as the quantization threshold, and accurately encoded those coefficients with higher weight. Also, this algorithm utilized the visual character of human. The test has proved that the main advantages of this method are the simplicity in computing and predictable encoded coefficients, and a high compression efficiency can obtain too.

In order to improve the recognition rate of face recognition algorithm, a new algorithm of face recognition is proposed based on Gabor wavelet transform and Supervised Locally Linear Embedding (SLLE). Gabor wavelet is introduced as a method to extract Gabor magnitude features by convolving the normalized face image with multi scale and multi orientation Gabor filters. In the feature extraction module, the dimension of Gabor features is reduced by SLLE. A minimum distance classifier is trained for classification.

Face recognition method with local matching

From human cognition, a face recognition method with local matching based on statistical learning is proposed. The image is divided into several subimages and each subimage is considered as a weak classifier. The Adaboost learning algorithm is used to train the weak classifiers and construct a strong classifier. As a result, all subimages are effectively combined together to explore the best discriminating power and improve the classification accuracy. Compared with the holistic matching methods, the local matching method is robust to variations in illumination, expression, and pose, etc. The experimental results show that the proposed method can improve the face recognition accuracy and is robust to variations in illumination and expression.     

Frequency domain analysis and the application for extracting electroencephalogram signal characteristic waves

A new quantitative analysis method to describe the dynamic variation of electroencephalogram (EEG) signals was proposed. Based on the Fourier transformation, the method is called Fourier multi resolution analysis (FMRA).

FMRA has clear physical meaning, and can obtain more information than wavelet multi resolution analysis does. FMRA can extract perfectly the rhythmic characteristics of EEG signals in the time and frequency domains.

By analyzing shortages of current MSPCA model, an on line multi variable statistical process monitoring method is proposed, which uses some concepts from online multi scale filtering and can be applied to sensor fault diagnosis. In the method, wavelet decomposition is employed to the signals using edge correction filter in a fixed length data window, and then wavelet denoising is conducted with wavelet threshold filtering. Next, an on line multi scale model is constructed for data combining wavelet transformation and adaptive PCA in the previous data window. This model avoids time waste in direct signal denoising and reduces time cost in multi scale data with conventional PCA, which eventually increases accuracy in fault diagnosis. Experiments on eight vibration signals of 6135D diesel engine under severe leak condition prove the practicability and feasibility of the proposed method.

The error concept for the Mexican hat wavelet that the non tensor product two dimensional form of mother wavelet is obtained from the turning of its one dimensional form is corrected. The reason is explained for that the Mexican hat mother wavelet can't be used in conventional discrete wavelet transform for image data compression,but when it is used in 2 D image wavelet transform realized by optic way, it features excellent energy localization.     

Multiresolution Wavelet Transform for Detection of EEG Abnormal Rhythms

The signal of brain activity is a non-stationary random signal including lots of physiology and disease information, which is of important action for doctors to judge pathological changes in brain. So the analysis and process of the EEG signals are always attended. In this paper, the authors take account of the time-frequency localization of wavelet transform and use multiresolution wavelet transform to detect EEG abnormal rhythms. The signals of different scales after EEG signals are transformed by multiresolution wavelet transform not only reflect the frequency information of the signals, namely the more great scale is the lower of the frequency of the signals,but also reflect the time information of the signals, namely EEG state at that time. The test results indicate that the abnormal rhythms of the EEG signals can be detected effectively if right wavelet basis is selected.     

Binary phase only filter based watermarking combined with discrete wavelet transform

The binary phase only filter (BPOF) based digital image watermarking combined with a discrete wavelet transform (DWT) was proposed. Firstly, the DWT transform was applied to an image. Then, the discrete Fourier transform (DFT) was applied to the low frequency subband of the DWT transform. Next, the phase information of the DFT was binarized to obtain the BPOF, which would be taken as the watermark and embedded into the corresponding magnitude. Compared to applying the DFT transform to the whole image and embedding the BPOF watermark in the entire frequency range, or in the low frequency range, the watermark robustness in JPEG compression is improved significantly while maintaining the watermark imperceptibility and detection efficiency. This method may be used to demonstrate the authenticity and integrity of an image. The simulation experiments demonstrate the efficiency of this method.     

Multifocus image fusion scheme based on feature contrast in lifting stationary wavelet domain

A novel multifocus image fusion method based on lifting stationary wavelet transform (LSWT) is proposed. The selection principles, namely fusion rules of different subband coefficients, are discussed in detail. Local feature contrast is presented according to the human vision system (HVS), which is highly sensitive to the local image contrast level. Then, the fusion rule for the low-frequency subband coefficients fusion is introduced. To choose the high frequency subband coefficients, another local feature contrast is developed according to the human vision which is often sensitive to edges and directional features, but insensitive to real luminance at independent positions. Then, a novel fusion rule is proposed for fusion of the high frequency subband coefficients. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed image fusion method is effective and can provide better performance in fusing multifocus images than the traditional contrast-based image fusion algorithms in term of informal visual inspection and objective criteria in multi-focus image fusion.

Denoise Based On Translation Invariance Wavelet TransformAnd Its Applications

De_noising algorithm based on traditional wavelet transform may produce artifacts on discontinuities of the signal. The reason is that the de_noising algorithm lacks of wavelet translation invariant. This paper proposes a de_noising method based on translation invariant. The method performs the cycle_spinning for the signal to be analyzed. And then, the soft (hard) thresholding is used to shrink the wavelet coefficient of the signal and reconstruct the signal. Consequently, the shift dependence of wavelet basis is eliminated. This method can suppress the artifacts effectively so that de_noised signal is more smooth and has better approximation to original signal.     

Fusion method for infrared and visible light images based on image segmentation and stationary wavelet transform

A novel image fusion method based on image segmentation and stationary wavelet transform (SWT) is proposed to improve the visual effect of fused infrared and visible light images. Infrared image is firstly separated into object and background region utilizing Otsu combined with edge detection. Then a multiresolution decomposition using SWT is made to the background region of the infrared image and the visible light image. Neighborhood spatial frequency and absolute value are adopted as fusion rules in low-frequency and high-frequency coefficients. The background fused image is reconstructed by inverse SWT. The final infrared and visible light fused image is obtained by fusing the background fused image and the object region of infrared image base on weighted fusion rule. The experimental results show that the object information of the infrared image is obviously highlighted and the scene information of the visible light image is well represented. The visual effect of fused image is improved efficiently by utilizing the proposed method. The proposed method works better than the traditional Laplacian Pyramid and wavelet transform fusion algorithms in terms of standard deviation, comentropy and mutual information. Experimental results verify its effectiveness.     

Multi scale and multi orientation features for image de noising

An adaptive algorithm for image de noising is proposed based on the multi scale and multi orientation features. The coefficients in different scales and different directions are obtained by image decomposition using the nonsubsampled contourlet transform. Then thresholds functions are adaptively set with these coefficients. The texture of the image information is introduced by using the mean of decomposition scale and the energy of regional. The greater the energy, the more information of the texture while the same decomposition scales, the smaller the threshold is set. On the contrary, the greater the threshold is set. After the de noising and then reconstruction of these coefficients, image de noising is implemented. Compare to the wavelet transform threshold and contourlet transform threshold, the nonsubsampled contourlet transform pick up the image detail better and improve the quality of the image.
