Quantization-Based Robust Image Watermarking Using the Dual Tree Complex Wavelet Transform

Conventional quantization index modulation (QIM) watermarking uses the fixed quantization step size for the host signal.This scheme is not robust against geometric distortions and may lead to poor fidelity in some areas of content.Thus,we proposed a quantization-based image watermarking in the dual tree complex wavelet domain.We took advantages of the dual tree complex wavelets (perfect reconstruction,approximate shift invariance,and directional selectivity).For the case of watermark detecting,the probability of false alarm and probability of false negative were exploited and verified by simulation.Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method is robust against JPEG compression,additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN),and some kinds of geometric attacks such as scaling,rotation,etc.

A New Construction Method for the Dual Tree Complex Wavelet Based on Direction Sensitivity

The conception of 'main direction' of multi-dimensional wavelet is established in this paper, and the capabilities of several classical complex wavelets for representing directional singularities are investigated based on their main directions. It is proved to be impossible to represent directional singularities optimally by a multi-resolution analysis (MRA) of L2(R2). Based on the above results, a new algorithm to construct Q-shift dual tree complex wavelet is proposed. By optimizing the main direction of parameterized wavelet filters, the difficulty in choosing stop-band frequency is overcome and the performances of the designed wavelet are improved too. Furthermore, results of image enhancement by various multi-scale methods are given, which show that the new designed Q-shift complex wavelet do offer significant improvement over the conventionally used wavelets. Direction sensitivity is an important index to the performance of 2D wavelets.

Insect recognition based on integrated region matching and dual tree complex wavelet transform

To provide pest technicians with a convenient way to recognize insects,a novel method is proposed to classify insect images by integrated region matching (IRM) and dual tree complex wavelet transform (DTCWT).The wing image of the lepidopteran insect is preprocessed to obtain the region of interest (ROI) whose position is then calibrated.The ROI is first segmented with the k-means algorithm into regions according to the color features,properties of all the segmented regions being used as a coarse level feature.The color image is then converted to a grayscale image,where DTCWT features are extracted as a fine level feature.The IRM scheme is undertaken to find K nearest neighbors (KNNs),out of which the nearest neighbor is searched by computing the Canberra distance of DTCWT features.The method was tested with a database including 100 lepidopteran insect species from 18 families and the recognition accuracy was 84.47%.For the forewing subset,a recognition accuracy of 92.38% was achieved.The results showed that the proposed method can effectively solve the problem of automatic species identification of lepidopteran specimens.

A new simple and efficient dual tree analytic wavelet transform based on Discrete Cosine Harmonic Wavelet Transform DCHWT (ADCHWT) has been proposed and is applied for signal and image denoising. The analytic DCHWT has been realized by applying DCHWT to the original signal and its Hilbert transform. The shift invariance and the envelope extraction properties of the ADCHWT have been found to be very effective in denoising speech and image signals, compared to that of DCHWT.

Seismic signal analysis based on the dual-tree complex wavelet packet transform

We tried to apply the dual-tree complex wavelet packet transform in seismic signal analysis. The complex wavelet packet transform (CWPT) combine the merits of real wavelet packet transform with that of complex continuous wavelet transform (CCWT). It can not only pick up the phase information of signal, but also produce better ″focal- izing″ function if it matches the phase spectrum of signals analyzed. We here described the dual-tree CWPT algo- rithm, and gave the examples of simulation and actual seismic signals analysis. As shown by our results, the dual-tree CWPT is a very effective method in analyzing seismic signals with non-linear phase.

Defects Recognition of 3D Braided Composite Based on Dual-Tree Complex Wavelet Packet Transform

Textile-reinforced composites,due to their excellent highstrength-to-low-mass ratio, provide promising alternatives to conventional structural materials in many high-tech sectors. 3D braided composites are a kind of advanced composites reinforced with 3D braided fabrics; the complex nature of 3D braided composites makes the evaluation of the quality of the product very difficult. In this investigation,a defect recognition platform for 3D braided composites evaluation was constructed based on dual-tree complex wavelet packet transform( DT-CWPT) and backpropagation( BP) neural networks. The defects in 3D braided composite materials were probed and detected by an ultrasonic sensing system. DT-CWPT method was used to analyze the ultrasonic scanning pulse signals,and the feature vectors of these signals were extracted into the BP neural networks as samples. The type of defects was identified and recognized with the characteristic ultrasonic wave spectra. The position of defects for the test samples can be determined at the same time. This method would have great potential to evaluate the quality of 3D braided composites.

NEW METHOD OF EXTRACTING WEAK FAILURE INFORMATION IN GEARBOX BY COMPLEX WAVELET DENOISING

Because the extract of the weak failure information is always the difficulty and focus of fault detection. Aiming for specific statistical properties of complex wavelet coefficients of gearbox vibration signals, a new signal-denoising method which uses local adaptive algorithm based on dual-tree complex wavelet transform （DT-CWT） is introduced to extract weak failure information in gear, especially to extract impulse components. By taking into account the non-Gaussian probability distribution and the statistical dependencies among wavelet coefficients of some signals, and by taking the advantage of near shift-invariance of DT-CWT, the higher signal-to-noise ratio （SNR） than common wavelet denoising methods can be obtained. Experiments of extracting periodic impulses in gearbox vibration signals indicate that the method can extract incipient fault feature and hidden information from heavy noise, and it has an excellent effect on identifying weak feature signals in gearbox vibration signals.

By adopting spectral regression and complex fusion technologies respectively, two improved neighborhood preserving discriminant analysis feature extraction methods were proposed to capture the face manifold structures and locality discriminatory information. Extensive experiments have been made to compare the recognition performance of the proposed method with some popular dimensionality reduction methods on ORL and Yale face databases. The results verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Tracking of Non-Rigid Object in Complex Wavelet Domain

In this paper we have proposed an object tracking method using Dual Tree Complex Wavelet Transform (DTCxWT). The proposed method is capable of tracking the moving object in video sequences. The object is assumed to be deform-able under limit i.e. it may change its shape from one frame to another. The basic idea in the proposed method is to decompose the image into two components: a two dimensional motion and a two dimensional shape change. The motion component is factored out while the shape is explicitly represented by storing a sequence of two dimensional models. Each model corresponds to each image frame. The proposed method performs well when the change in the shape in the consecutive frames is small however the 2-D motion in consecutive frames may be large. The proposed algorithm is capable of handling the partial as well as full occlusion of the object.
