Denoising and compression of 2D and 3D images are important problems in modern medical imaging systems. Discrete wavelet transform (DWT) is used to solve them in practice. We analyze the quantization noise effect in coefficients of DWT filters for 3D medical imaging in this paper. The method for wavelet filters coefficients quantizing is proposed, which allows minimizing resources in hardware implementation by simplifying rounding operations. We develop the method for estimating the maximum error of 3D grayscale and color images DWT with various bits per color (BPC). The dependence of the peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) of the images processing result on wavelet used, the effective bit-width of filters coefficients and BPC is revealed. We derive formulas for determining the minimum bit-width of wavelet filters coefficients that provide a high (PSNR ≥ 40 dB for images with 8 BPC, for example) and maximum (PSNR = ∞ dB) quality of 3D medical imaging by DWT depending on wavelet used. The experiments of 3D tomographic images processing confirmed the accuracy of theoretical analysis. All data are presented in the fixed-point format in the proposed method of 3D medical images DWT. It is making possible efficient, from the point of view of hardware and time resources, the implementation for image denoising and compression on modern devices such as field-programmable gate arrays and application-specific integrated circuits.

In this paper, we analyze the noise quantization effects in coefficients of discrete wavelet transform (DWT) filter banks for image processing. We propose the implementation of the DWT method, making it possible to determine the effective bit-width of the filter banks coefficients at which the quantization noise does not significantly affect the image processing results according to the peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR). The dependence between the PSNR of the DWT image quality on the wavelet and the bit-width of the wavelet filter coefficients is analyzed. The formulas for determining the minimal bit-width of the filter coefficients at which the processed image achieves high quality (PSNR ≥ 40 dB) are given. The obtained theoretical results were confirmed through the simulation of DWT for a test image using the calculated bit-width values. All considered algorithms operate with fixed-point numbers, which simplifies their hardware implementation on modern devices: field-programmable gate array (FPGA), application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC), etc.

The research constitutes a distinctive technique of steganography of image. The procedure used for the study is Fractional Random Wavelet Transform (FRWT). The contrast between wavelet transform and the aforementioned FRWT is that it comprises of all the benefits and features of the wavelet transform but with additional highlights like randomness and partial fractional value put up into it. As a consequence of the fractional value and the randomness, the algorithm will give power and a rise in the surveillance layers for steganography. The stegano image will be acquired after administrating the algorithm which contains not only the coated image but also the concealed image. Despite the overlapping of two images, any diminution in the grade of the image is not perceived. Through this steganographic process, we endeavor for expansion in surveillance and magnitude as well. After running the algorithm, various variables like Mean Square Error (MSE) and Peak Signal to Noise ratio (PSNR) are deliberated. Through the intended algorithm, a rise in the power and imperceptibility is perceived and it can also support diverse modification such as scaling, translation and rotation with algorithms which previously prevailed. The irrefutable outcome demonstrated that the algorithm which is being suggested is indeed efficacious.

We investigate the use of Hilbert wavelet pairs (HWPs) in the non-decimated discrete wavelet transform for the time-varying spectral analysis of multivariate time series. HWPs consist of two high-pass and two low-pass compactly supported filters, such that one high-pass filter is the Hilbert transform (approximately) of the other. Thus, common quantities in the spectral analysis of time series (e.g., power spectrum, coherence, phase) may be estimated in both time and frequency. Compact support of the wavelet filters ensures that the frequency axis will be partitioned dyadically as with the usual discrete wavelet transform. The proposed methodology is used to analyze a bivariate time series of zonal (u) and meridional (v) winds over Truk Island.

Compressed sensing (CS) has been applied to accelerate magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for many years. Due to the lack of translation invariance of the wavelet basis, undersampled MRI reconstruction based on discrete wavelet transform may result in serious artifacts. In this paper, we propose a CS-based reconstruction scheme, which combines complex double-density dual-tree discrete wavelet transform (CDDDT-DWT) with fast iterative shrinkage/soft thresholding algorithm (FISTA) to efficiently reduce such visual artifacts. The CDDDT-DWT has the characteristics of shift invariance, high degree, and a good directional selectivity. In addition, FISTA has an excellent convergence rate, and the design of FISTA is simple. Compared with conventional CS-based reconstruction methods, the experimental results demonstrate that this novel approach achieves higher peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR), larger signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), better structural similarity index (SSIM), and lower relative error.

Algorithm Performance

Online detection of partial discharges (PD) is imperative for condition monitoring of high voltage equipment as well as power cables. However, heavily contaminated sites often burden the signals with various types of noise that can be challenging to remove (denoise). This paper proposes an algorithm based on the maximal overlap discrete wavelet transform (MODWT) to denoise PD signals originating from defects in power cables contaminated with various levels of noises. The three most common noise types, namely, Gaussian white noise (GWN), discrete spectral interference (DSI), and stochastic pulse shaped interference (SPI) are considered. The algorithm is applied to an experimentally acquired void-produced partial discharge in a power cable. The MODWT-based algorithm achieved a good improvement in the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and in the normalized correlation coefficient (NCC) for the three types of noises. The MODWT-based algorithm performance was also compared to that of the empirical Bayesian wavelet transform (EBWT) algorithm, in which the former showed superior results in denoising SPI and DSI, as well as comparable results in denoising GWN. Finally, the algorithm performance was tested on a PD signal contaminated with the three type of noises simultaneously in which the results were also superior.

Imaging Application

Protection and authentication of medical images is essential for the patient’s disease identification and diagnosis. The watermark in medical imaging application needs to be invisible and it is also required to preserve the low and high frequency features of image data which makes watermarking a difficult assignment. Within this manuscript an unseen medical image watermarking approach is projected apply edge detection in the discrete wavelet transform domain. The wavelet transform is brought into play to decay the medical picture interested in multi-frequency secondary band coefficients. The edge detection applies to high frequency wavelet group in the direction of generating the boundary coefficients used as a key. The Gaussian noise pattern is utilized as watermark as well as embedded within the edge coefficients around the edges. To add the robustness scaled dilated edge coefficient is added with the edge coefficients to generate the watermarked image. Preserving the small frequency secondary band fulfills the information requirement of the medical imaging application. At the same time as adding together the watermark during high frequency sub-bands improve the watermark invisibility. To add additional robustness the dilation is applied on the edged coefficient before being embedded with sub band coefficients. presentation of the technique is experienced on the dissimilar set of medical imagery as well as evaluation of the proposed watermarking method founds it robust not in favor of the different attacks such at the same time as filtering, turning round plus resizing. Parametric study foundation going on Mean Square Error along with Signal to Noise Ratio shows that how good method performs for invisibility.

<span id="docs-internal-guid-a16efc88-7fff-5adf-531b-900845049730"><span>More recent digital camera introduced enormous facilities for users from different specifications to take images easily, but the user still wants to improve these images, which it contains different problems like ambiguous and colors is not clear, because not enough light, cloudy weather, bright light, dark region and it's taken from remote distances. This paper aims to use a new approach for fusion images by using a wavelet coefficient based on PSNR and SNR measure (the technical result) instead of using the max, min, average values, and so on in the previous methods. The wavelet coefficient of each sub band is compared between them, the sub band had a value higher of measure is selected for fusion. Firstly, a discrete wavelet transform has been applied to the medical images with 2level. Then, the peak signal to noise ratio and signal to noise ratio measures have been computed for each sub-band. After that PSNR and SNR values have been compared for each sub-band to opposite sub-band and it selected the better value of measures. Secondly, PSNR and SNR values have been gathered for each image. Then select the image that contains value higher PSNR and lower value of SNR for purpose fusion. Finally, perform an inverse discrete wavelet on the fused image to transform it from the frequency to the spatial domain. The results of the work showed that the wavelet coefficient is used to preserve the image details and removed the noise. PSNR value of 1level of dwt is higher than 2level. This paper makes the image more clearer and informative than the original images. </span></span>
