Optical and SAR image registration based on improved nonsubsampled wavelet transform for sea islands

Homologous feature point extraction is a key problem in the optical and synthetic aperture radar （SAR） image registration for islands. A new feature point extraction method using a threshold shrink operator and non-subsampled wavelet transform （TSO-NSWT） for optical and SAR image registration was proposed. Moreover, the matching for this proposed feature was different from the traditional feature matching strategies and was performed using a similarity measure computed from neighborhood circles in low-frequency bands. Then, a number of reliably matched couples with even distributions were obtained, which assured the accuracy of the registration. Application of the proposed algorithm to SPOT-5 （multi-spectral） and YG-1 （SAR） images showed that a large number of accurately matched couples could be identified. Additionally, both of the root mean square error （RMSE） patterns of the registration parameters computed based on the TSO-NSWT algorithm and traditional NSWT algorithm were analyzed and compared, which further demonstrated the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm. The algorithm can supply the crucial step for island image registration and island recognition.

Application and Analysis of Wavelet Transform in Image Edge Detection

For the image processing technology, technicians have been looking for a convenient and simple detection method for a long time, especially for the innovation research on image edge detection technology. Because there are a lot of original information at the edge during image processing, thus, we can get the real image data in terms of the data acquisition. The usage of edge is often in the case of some irregular geometric objects, and we determine the contour of the image by combining with signal transmitted data. At the present stage, there are different algorithms in image edge detection, however, different types of algorithms have divergent disadvantages so It is diffi cult to detect the image changes in a reasonable range. We try to use wavelet transformation in image edge detection, making full use of the wave with the high resolution characteristics, and combining multiple images, in order to improve the accuracy of image edge detection.

A lightweight symmetric image encryption cryptosystem in wavelet domain based on an improved sine map

In the era of big data,the number of images transmitted over the public channel increases exponentially.As a result,it is crucial to devise the efficient and highly secure encryption method to safeguard the sensitive image.In this paper,an improved sine map(ISM)possessing a larger chaotic region,more complex chaotic behavior and greater unpredictability is proposed and extensively tested.Drawing upon the strengths of ISM,we introduce a lightweight symmetric image encryption cryptosystem in wavelet domain(WDLIC).The WDLIC employs selective encryption to strike a satisfactory balance between security and speed.Initially,only the low-frequency-low-frequency component is chosen to encrypt utilizing classic permutation and diffusion.Then leveraging the statistical properties in wavelet domain,Gaussianization operation which opens the minds of encrypting image information in wavelet domain is first proposed and employed to all sub-bands.Simulations and theoretical analysis demonstrate the high speed and the remarkable effectiveness of WDLIC.

IMAGE WAVELET DENOISING USING THE ROBUST LOCAL THRESHOLD

This paper suggests a scheme of image denoising based on two-dimensional discrete wavelet transform. The denoising algorithm is described with some operators. By thresholding the wavelet transform coefficients of noisy images, the original image can be reconstructed correctly. Different threshold selections and thresholding methods are discussed. A new robust local threshold scheme is proposed. Quantifying the performance of image denoising schemes by using the mean square error, the performance of the robust local threshold scheme is demonstrated and is compared with the universal threshold scheme. The experiment shows that image denoising using the robust local threshold performs better than that using the universal threshold.

Brain Tumor Classification Using Image Fusion and EFPA-SVM Classifier

An accurate and early diagnosis of brain tumors based on medical ima-ging modalities is of great interest because brain tumors are a harmful threat to a person’s health worldwide.Several medical imaging techniques have been used to analyze brain tumors,including computed tomography(CT)and magnetic reso-nance imaging(MRI).CT provides information about dense tissues,whereas MRI gives information about soft tissues.However,the fusion of CT and MRI images has little effect on enhancing the accuracy of the diagnosis of brain tumors.Therefore,machine learning methods have been adopted to diagnose brain tumors in recent years.This paper intends to develop a novel scheme to detect and classify brain tumors based on fused CT and MRI images.The pro-posed approach starts with preprocessing the images to reduce the noise.Then,fusion rules are applied to get the fused image,and a segmentation algorithm is employed to isolate the tumor region from the background to isolate the tumor region.Finally,a machine learning classifier classified the brain images into benign and malignant tumors.Computing statistical measures evaluate the classi-fication potential of the proposed scheme.Experimental outcomes are provided,and the Enhanced Flower Pollination Algorithm(EFPA)system shows that it out-performs other brain tumor classification methods considered for comparison.

Adaptive template filter method for image processing based on immune genetic algorithm

To preserve the original signal as much as possible and filter random noises as many as possible in image processing,a threshold optimization-based adaptive template filtering algorithm was proposed.Unlike conventional filters whose template shapes and coefficients were fixed,multi-templates were defined and the right template for each pixel could be matched adaptively based on local image characteristics in the proposed method.The superiority of this method was verified by former results concerning the matching experiment of actual image with the comparison of conventional filtering methods.The adaptive search ability of immune genetic algorithm with the elitist selection and elitist crossover(IGAE) was used to optimize threshold t of the transformation function,and then combined with wavelet transformation to estimate noise variance.Multi-experiments were performed to test the validity of IGAE.The results show that the filtered result of t obtained by IGAE is superior to that of t obtained by other methods,IGAE has a faster convergence speed and a higher computational efficiency compared with the canonical genetic algorithm with the elitism and the immune algorithm with the information entropy and elitism by multi-experiments.

Image enhancement technology plays a very important role to improve image quality in image processing. By enhancing some information and restraining other information selectively, it can improve image visual effect. The objective of this work is to implement the image enhancement to gray scale images using different techniques.

The image techniques are compared by using the mean(μ),standard deviation(?), mean square error(MSE) and PSNR(peak signal to noise ratio). A group of experimental results demonstrate that the image enhancement algorithm based on wavelet transform is effective for image de-noising and enhancement. Wavelet transform modulus maxima method is one of the best methods for image enhancement.

Transformer Internal and Inrush Current Fault Detection Using Machine Learning

Preventive maintenance in the transformer is performed through a dif-ferential relay protection system,and it protects the transformer from internal and external faults.However,the Current Transformer(CT)in the differential protec-tion system mal-operates during inrush currents.CT saturates due to magnetizing inrush currents and causes false tripping of the differential relays.Moreover,iden-tification of tripping in protection relay either due to inrush current or internal faults needs to be diagnosed.For the above problem,continuous monitoring of transformer breather and CT terminals with thermal camera helps detect the trip-ping in relay due to inrush or internal fault.The transformer’s internal fault leads to high breathing process in the transformer breather,never for inrush currents.During inrush currents,CT temperature is increased.Continuous monitoring of breather and CT of the transformer through thermal imaging and radiometric pix-els detect the causes of CT saturation and differentiates maloperation.Hybrid wavelet threshold image analytics(HWT-IA)based radiometric pixels analysis of the transformer breather and CT after de-noising provides an accurate result of about 95%for identification of the false tripping of differential protection system of transformer.

Moreover, we compare the proposed method under the varying parameters with the soft-threshold function and the hard-threshold function. Three metrics, which are correlation coefficient, edge preservation index and structural similarity index, are measured to quantify the denoised results of ultrasound liver image. Experimental results demonstrate the potential of the proposed method for ultrasound liver image denosing.
