An advance multiresolution wavelet based approach for wideband spectrum sensing for cognitive radio system is proposed in this paper. Prime focus is made on the coarse detection part for interweaved system, in which unoccupied spectrum can be used efficiently by the cognitive users. Quick and immediate shifting over the sensed vacant channel is extremely vital and is a challenging task. To overcome this issue, fast and efficient spectrum sensing technique is proposed for cognitive radios by improvising the Discrete Wavelet Packet Transform (DWPT) for multiresolution interweaved systems. This proposed scheme not only increases the system speed but also reduces complexity. Simulation results are used to analyse the system performance and numerical analysis for computing system complexity.

This paper presents two methods for fusion of infrared (IR) and visible surveillance images. The first method combines Curvelet Transform (CT) with Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT). As wavelets do not represent long edges well while curvelets are challenged with small features, our objective is to combine both to achieve better performance. The second approach uses Discrete Wavelet Packet Transform (DWPT), which provides multiresolution in high frequency band as well and hence helps in handling edges better. The performance of the proposed methods have been extensively tested for a number of multimodal surveillance images and compared with various existing transform domain fusion methods. Experimental results show that evaluation based on entropy, gradient, contrast etc., the criteria normally used, are not enough, as in some cases, these criteria are not consistent with the visual quality. It also demonstrates that the Petrovic and Xydeas image fusion metric is a more appropriate criterion for fusion of IR and visible images, as in all the tested fused images, visual quality agrees with the Petrovic and Xydeas metric evaluation. The analysis shows that there is significant increase in the quality of fused image, both visually and quantitatively. The major achievement of the proposed fusion methods is its reduced artifacts, one of the most desired feature for fusion used in surveillance applications.
