People Recognition by RGB and NIR Analysis from Digital Image Database Using Cross-Correlation and Wavelets

This document presents a framework for recognizing people by palm vein distribution analysis using cross-correlation based signatures to obtain descriptors. Haar wavelets are useful in reducing the number of features while maintaining high recognition rates. This experiment achieved 97.5% of individuals classified correctly with two levels of Haar wavelets. This study used twelve-version of RGB and NIR (near infrared) wavelength images per individual. One hundred people were studied;therefore 4,800 instances compose the complete database. A Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) was trained to improve the recognition rate in a k-fold cross-validation test with k = 10. Classification results using MLP neural network were obtained using Weka (open source machine learning software).

An Efficient Numerical Scheme for Biological Models in the Frame of Bernoulli Wavelets

This article considers three types of biological systems:the dengue fever disease model,the COVID-19 virus model,and the transmission of Tuberculosis model.The new technique of creating the integration matrix for the Bernoulli wavelets is applied.Also,the novel method proposed in this paper is called the Bernoulli wavelet collocation scheme(BWCM).All three models are in the form system of coupled ordinary differential equations without an exact solution.These systems are converted into a system of algebraic equations using the Bernoulli wavelet collocation scheme.The numerical wave distributions of these governing models are obtained by solving the algebraic equations via the Newton-Raphson method.The results obtained from the developed strategy are compared to several schemes such as the Runge Kutta method,and ND solver in mathematical software.The convergence analyses are discussed through theorems.The newly implemented Bernoulli wavelet method improves the accuracy and converges when it is compared with the existing methods in the literature.

ASTER Data Processing by Discrete Wavelets Transform and Band Ratio Techniques for the Identification of Lineaments and Hydrothermal Alteration Zones in Poli, North Cameroon

The aim of this study is to carry out hydrothermal alteration mapping and structural mapping using ASTER images in order to identify indices that could guide mining exploration work in the Poli area and its surroundings. To achieve this, the ASTER images were first preprocessed to correct atmospheric effects and remove vegetation influence. Secondly, a lineament mapping was conducted by applying Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) algorithms to the First Principal Component Analysis (PCA1) of Visible Near-Infrared (VNIR) and Shortwave Infrared (SWIR) bands. Lastly, band ratio methods were applied to the VNIR, SWIR, and Thermal Infrared (TIR) bands to determine indices of iron oxides/hydroxides (hematite and limonite), hydroxyl-bearing minerals (chlorite, epidote, and muscovite), and the quartz index. The results obtained showed that the lineaments were mainly oriented NE-SW, ENE-WSW, and E-W, with NE-SW being the most predominant direction. Concerning hydrothermal alteration, the identified indices covered almost the entire study area and showed a strong correlation with lithological data. Overlaying the obtained lineaments with the hydrothermal alteration indices revealed a significant correlation between existing mining indices and those observed in the field. Mineralized zones generally coincided with areas of high lineament density exhibiting significant hydrothermal alteration. Based on the correlation between existing mining indices and the results of hydrothermal and structural mapping, the results obtained can then be used as a reference document for any mining exploration in the study area.

A CLASS OF MULTIWAVELETS AND PROJECTED FRAMES FROM TWO-DIRECTION WAVELETS

This article aims at studying two-direction refinable functions and two-direction wavelets in the setting R^s, s 〉 1. We give a sufficient condition for a two-direction refinable function belonging to L^2（R^s）. Then, two theorems are given for constructing biorthogonal （orthogonal） two-direction refinable functions in L^2（R^s） and their biorthogonal （orthogonal） two-direction wavelets, respectively. From the constructed biorthogonal （orthogonal） two-direction wavelets, symmetric biorthogonal （orthogonal） multiwaveles in L^2（R^s） can be obtained easily. Applying the projection method to biorthogonal （orthogonal） two-direction wavelets in L^2（R^s）, we can get dual （tight） two-direction wavelet frames in L^2（R^m）, where m ≤ s. From the projected dual （tight） two-direction wavelet frames in L^2（R^m）, symmetric dual （tight） frames in L^2（R^m） can be obtained easily. In the end, an example is given to illustrate theoretical results.

Synthesis of accelerograms compatible with the Chinese GB 50011-2001 design spectrum via harmonic wavelets: artifi cial and historic records

A versatile approach is employed to generate artificial accelerograms which satisfy the compatibility criteria prescribed by the Chinese aseismic code provisions GB 50011-2001. In particular, a frequency dependent peak factor derived by means of appropriate Monte Carlo analyses is introduced to relate the GB 50011-2001 design spectrum to a parametrically defined evolutionary power spectrum （EPS）. Special attention is given to the definition of the frequency content of the EPS in order to accommodate the mathematical form of the aforementioned design spectrum. Further, a one-to-one relationship is established between the parameter controlling the time-varying intensity of the EPS and the effective strong ground motion duration. Subsequently, an efficient auto-regressive moving-average （ARMA） filtering technique is utilized to generate ensembles of non-stationary artificial accelerograms whose average response spectrum is in a close agreement with the considered design spectrum. Furthermore, a harmonic wavelet based iterative scheme is adopted to modify these artificial signals so that a close matching of the signals＇ response spectra with the GB 50011-2001 design spectrum is achieved on an individual basis. This is also done for field recorded accelerograms pertaining to the May, 2008 Wenchuan seismic event. In the process, zero-phase high-pass filtering is performed to accomplish proper baseline correction of the acquired spectrum compatible artificial and field accelerograms. Numerical results are given in a tabulated format to expedite their use in practice.

The simulation of far-field wavelets using frequency- domain air-gun array near-field wavelets

Air-gun arrays are used in marine-seismic exploration. Far-field wavelets in subsurface media represent the stacking of single air-gun ideal wavelets. We derived single air-gun ideal wavelets using near-field wavelets recorded from near-field geophones and then synthesized them into far-field wavelets. This is critical for processing wavelets in marine- seismic exploration. For this purpose, several algorithms are currently used to decompose and synthesize wavelets in the time domain. If the traveltime of single air-gun wavelets is not an integral multiple of the sampling interval, the complex and error-prone resampling of the seismic signals using the time-domain method is necessary. Based on the relation between the frequency-domain phase and the time-domain time delay, we propose a method that first transforms the real near-field wavelet to the frequency domain via Fourier transforms; then, it decomposes it and composes the wavelet spectrum in the frequency domain, and then back transforms it to the time domain. Thus, the resampling problem is avoided and single air-gun wavelets and far-field wavelets can be reliably derived. The effect of ghost reflections is also considered, while decomposing the wavelet and removing the ghost reflections. Modeling and real data processing were used to demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed method.

Medical Image Compression Based on Wavelets with Particle Swarm Optimization

This paper presents a novel method utilizing wavelets with particle swarm optimization(PSO)for medical image compression.Our method utilizes PSO to overcome the wavelets discontinuity which occurs when compressing images using thresholding.It transfers images into subband details and approximations using a modified Haar wavelet(MHW),and then applies a threshold.PSO is applied for selecting a particle assigned to the threshold values for the subbands.Nine positions assigned to particles values are used to represent population.Every particle updates its position depending on the global best position(gbest)(for all details subband)and local best position(pbest)(for a subband).The fitness value is developed to terminate PSO when the difference between two local best(pbest)successors is smaller than a prescribe value.The experiments are applied on five different medical image types,i.e.,MRI,CT,and X-ray.Results show that the proposed algorithm can be more preferably to compress medical images than other existing wavelets techniques from peak signal to noise ratio(PSNR)and compression ratio(CR)points of views.
