Texture image retrieval using new rotated complex wavelet filters.

A new set of two-dimensional (2-D) rotated complex wavelet filters (RCWFs) are designed with complex wavelet filter coefficients, which gives texture information strongly oriented in six different directions (45 degrees apart from complex wavelet transform). The 2-D RCWFs are nonseparable and oriented, which improves characterization of oriented textures. Most texture image retrieval systems are still incapable of providing retrieval result with high retrieval accuracy and less computational complexity. To address this problem, we propose a novel approach for texture image retrieval by using a set of dual-tree rotated complex wavelet filter (DT-RCWF) and dual-tree-complex wavelet transform (DT-CWT) jointly, which obtains texture features in 12 different directions. The information provided by DT-RCWF complements the information generated by DT-CWT. Features are obtained by computing the energy and standard deviation on each subband of the decomposed image. To check the retrieval performance, texture database D1 of 1856 textures from Brodatz album and database D2 of 640 texture images from VisTex image database is created. Experimental results indicates that the proposed method improves retrieval rate from 69.61% to 77.75% on database D1, and from 64.83% to 82.81% on database D2, in comparing with traditional discrete wavelet transform based approach. The proposed method also retains comparable levels of computational complexity.     

Image forgery detection by semi-automatic wavelet soft-Thresholding with error level analysis

In this paper a method for detection of image forgery in lossy compressed digital images known as error level analysis (ELA) is presented and it’s noisy components are filtered with automatic wavelet soft-thresholding. With ELA, a lossy compressed image is recompressed at a known error rate and the absolute differences between these images, known as error levels, are computed. This method might be weakened if the image noise generated by the compression scheme is too intense, creating the necessity of noise filtering. Wavelet thresholding is a proven denoising technique which is capable of removing an image’s noise avoiding altering other components, like high frequencies regions, by thresholding the wavelet transform coefficients, thus not causing blurring. Despite its effectiveness, the choice of the threshold is a known issue. However there are some approaches to select it automatically. In this paper, a lowpass filter is implemented through wavelet thresholding, attenuating error level noises. An efficient method to automatically determine the threshold level is used, showing good results in threshold selection for the presented problems. This automatic threshold level can be fine tuned by a parameter k. Standard test images have been doctored to simulate image tampering, error levels for these images are computed and wavelet thresholding is performed to attenuate noise. Results are presented, confirming the method’s efficiency at noise filtering while preserving necessary error levels. The main contribution of this paper is the investigation of Daubechies wavelets with semi-automatic soft-thresholding in order to highlight forgeries in images. These results can be further extended by expert systems to classify and identify forgeries.     

Denoising and dimensionality reduction of hyperspectral imagery using wavelet packets,neighbour shrinking and principal component analysis

After dimensionality reduction of a hyperspectral datacube using principal component analysis (PCA), the dimension-reduced channels often contain a significant amount of noise. To overcome this problem, this letter proposes a method that can fulfil both denoising and dimensionality reduction of hyperspectral data using wavelet packets, neighbour wavelet shrinking and PCA. A 2D forward wavelet packet transform is performed in the spatial domain on each of the band images of a hyperspectral datacube, the wavelet packet coefficients are then shrunk by employing a neighbourhood wavelet thresholding scheme, and an inverse 2D wavelet packet transform is performed on the thresholded coefficients to create the denoised datacube. PCA is applied on the denoised datacube in the spectral domain to obtain the dimension-reduced datacube. Experiments conducted in this letter confirm the feasibility of the proposed method for denoising and dimensionality reduction of hyperspectral data.
