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.展开更多

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.展开更多

The method first converts an image from the RGB color space to the HSV color space and decomposes the V-channel by dual-tree complex wavelet transform. Next, an improved local adaptive tone mapping method is applied to process the low frequency components of the image, and a soft threshold denoising algorithm is used to denoise the high frequency components of the image. Then, the V-channel is rebuilt and the contrast is adjusted using white balance method. Finally, the processed image is converted back into the RGB color space as the enhanced result. Experimental results show that the proposed method can effectively improve the performance in terms of contrast enhancement, noise reduction and color reproduction.展开更多

Remotely operated vehicles(ROVs) and autonomous underwater vehicles(AUVs) are equipped with high-resolution imaging sonar systems that have broad application potential in underwater gas and target detection tasks. However, some bubble clusters are relatively weak scatterers, so detecting and distinguishing them against the seabed reverberation in forward-looking sonar images are challenging. This study uses the dual-tree complex wavelet transform to extract the image features of multibeam forward-looking sonar. Underwater gas leakages with different flows are classified by combining deep learning theory. A pool experiment is designed to simulate gas leakage, where sonar images are obtained for further processing. Results demonstrate that this method can detect and classify underwater gas leakage streams with high classification accuracy. This performance indicates that the method can detect gas leakage from multibeam forward-looking sonar images and has the potential to predict gas leakage flow.展开更多

This paper introduces a novel method called adaptive multiscale wavelet-guided periodic sparse representation(AMWPSR) to address this issue. For the first time, the dual-tree complex wavelet transform is applied to construct the linear transformation for the AMWPSR model.This transform offers superior shift invariance and minimizes spectrum aliasing. By integrating this linear transformation with the generalized minimax concave penalty term, a new sparse representation model is developed to recover faulty impulse components from heavily disturbed vibration signals. During each iteration of the AMWPSR process, the impulse periods of sparse signals are adaptively estimated, and the periodicity of the latest sparse signal is augmented using the final estimated period. Simulation studies demonstrate that AMWPSR can effectively estimate periodic impulses even in noisy environments, demonstrating greater accuracy and robustness in recovering faulty impulse components than existing techniques.Further validation through research on two sets of bearing life cycle data shows that AMWPSR delivers superior fault diagnosis results.展开更多

The quarter sample shift (Q-shift) DT-CWT can provide a group delay of 1/4 of a sample period, and satisfy the usual 2-band filter bank constraints of no aliasing and perfect reconstruction. To resolve illumination variation in expression verification, low-frequency coefficients produced by DT-CWT are set zeroes, high-frequency coefficients are used for reconstructing the image, and basic LBP histogram is mapped on the reconstructed image by means of histogram specification. LBP is capable of encoding texture and shape information of the preprocessed images. The histogram graphs built from multi-scale rotation invariant LBPs are combined to serve as feature for further recognition. Template matching is adopted to classify facial expressions for its simplicity. The experimental results show that the proposed approach has good performance in efficiency and accuracy.展开更多

The perceptual salient image features often manifest some geometric structures, while noise dominated images are less structured. Based on complex wavelet transform, a structurization information metric is formulated by means of the Von Neumann entropy. The formulated metric can distinguish image features from noise very well. During the fusion process, the metric is employed to weight all fusion inputs. As a result, the perceptual meaningful inputs are enhanced while the noise inputs are de-emphasized adaptively. Comparing several image fusion schemes subjectively and objectively shows the good performance of the new scheme.展开更多

In order to solve this problem,this paper presents a multi-exposure fusion method for getting high quality images in high dynamic range scene. First,a set of multi-exposure images is obtained by multiple exposures in a same scene and their brightness condition is analyzed. Then,multi-exposure images under the same scene are decomposed using dual-tree complex wavelet transform( DT-CWT),and their low and high frequency components are obtained. Weight maps according to the brightness condition are assigned to the low components for fusion. Maximizing the region Sum Modified-Laplacian( SML) is adopted for high-frequency components fusing. Finally,the fused image is acquired by subjecting the low and high frequency coefficients to inverse DT-CWT.Experimental results show that the proposed approach generates high quality results with uniform distributed brightness and rich details. The proposed method is efficient and robust in varies scenes.展开更多

In wavelet domain, the application of Bayesian estimation method with generalized Anscombe transform in Poisson-Gaussian noise reduction algorithm has shown remark- able success over the last decade. The generalized Anscombe transform is exerted to convert the Poisson-Gaussian noise into an additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN). So, the resulting data can be denoised with any algorithm designed for the removal of AWGN. Here, we present simple form of minimum mean square error (MMSE) estimator for logistic distribution in Poisson-Gaussian noise. The experimental results show that the proposed method yields good denoising results.展开更多

In wavelet domain, the application of Bayesian estimation method with generalized Anscombe transform in Poisson-Gaussian noise reduction algorithm has shown remark- able success over the last decade. The generalized Anscombe transform is exerted to convert the Poisson-Gaussian noise into an additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN). So, the resulting data can be denoised with any algorithm designed for the removal of AWGN. Here, we present simple form of minimum mean square error (MMSE) estimator for logistic distribution in Poisson-Gaussian noise. The experimental results show that the proposed method yields good denoising results.
