Fusion algorithm for multisensor images based on discrete multiwavelet transform

The authors review the notion of multiwavelets and describe the use of the discrete multiwavelet transform (DMWT) in image fusion processing. Multiwavelets are extensions from scalar wavelets, and have several advantages in comparison with scalar wavelets. Multiwavelet analysis can offer more precise image analysis than wavelet multiresolution analysis. A novel fusion algorithm is presented for multisensor images based on the discrete multiwavelet transform that can be performed at pixel level. After the registering of source images, a pyramid for each source image can be obtained by applying decomposition with multiwavelets in each level. The multiwavelet decomposition coefficients of the input images are appropriately merged and a new fused image is obtained by reconstructing the fused multiwavelet coefficients. This image fusion algorithm may be used to combine images from multisensors to obtain a single composite with extended information content. The results of experiments indicate that this image fusion algorithm can provide a more satisfactory fusion outcome.

Fusion of multi-focus images with registration inaccuracies

Image fusion combines complementary information for several input images. To obtain useful information from two misaligned images, registration is required. A hybrid textural registration-based multi-focus image fusion scheme is proposed. The Gabor filtering with specific frequency and orientation is used to extract different texture features from the image. The resulting Gabor-filtered images are then aligned using existing affine transformation. The proposed registration scheme yields superior performance as compared to affine registration, as Gabor transform extracts all the features. The fusion is performed using undecimated dual-tree complex wavelet transform. The quantitative and qualitative analysis of the proposed scheme outperforms existing image fusion schemes.

Image coding using wavelet transform and classified vectorquantisation

The wavelet transform, which provides a multiresolution representation of images, has been widely used in image compression. A new image coding scheme using the wavelet transform and classified vector quantisation is presented. The input image is first decomposed into a hierarchy of three layers containing ten subimages by the discrete wavelet transform. The lowest resolution low frequency subimage is scalar quantised with 8 bits/pixel. The high frequency subimages are compressed by classified vector quantisation to utilise the crosscorrelation among different resolutions while reducing the edge distortion and computational complexity. Vectors are constructed by combining the corresponding wavelet coefficients of different resolutions in the same orientation and classified according to the magnitude and the position of wavelet transform coefficients. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme has a better performance than those utilising current scalar or vector quantisation schemes

Image-adaptive watermarking using visual models

The huge success of the Internet allows for the transmission, wide distribution, and access of electronic data in an effortless manner. Content providers are faced with the challenge of how to protect their electronic data. This problem has generated a flurry of research activity in the area of digital watermarking of electronic content for copyright protection. The challenge here is to introduce a digital watermark that does not alter the perceived quality of the electronic content, while being extremely robust to attack. For instance, in the case of image data, editing the picture or illegal tampering should not destroy or transform the watermark into another valid signature. Equally important, the watermark should not alter the perceived visual quality of the image. From a signal processing perspective, the two basic requirements for an effective watermarking scheme, robustness and transparency, conflict with each other. We propose two watermarking techniques for digital images that are based on utilizing visual models which have been developed in the context of image compression. Specifically, we propose watermarking schemes where visual models are used to determine image dependent upper bounds on watermark insertion. This allows us to provide the maximum strength transparent watermark which, in turn, is extremely robust to common image processing and editing such as JPEG compression, rescaling, and cropping. We propose perceptually based watermarking schemes in two frameworks: the block-based discrete cosine transform and multiresolution wavelet framework and discuss the merits of each one. Our schemes are shown to provide very good results both in terms of image transparency and robustness     

Video Watermark Using Multiresolution Wavelet Decomposition

A novel technique for the video watermarking based on the discrete wavelet transform(DWT) is present. The intra frames of video are transformed to three gray image firstly, and then the 2th-level discrete wavelet decomposition of the gray images is computed, with which the watermark W is embedded simultaneously into and invert wavelet transform is done to obtain the gray images which contain the secret information. Change the intra frames of video based on the three gray images to make the intra frame contain the secret information. While extracting the secret information, the intra frames are transformed to three gray image, 2th-level discrete wavelet transform is done to the gray images, and the watermark W‘ is distilled from the wavelet coefficients of the three gray images. The test results show the superior performance of the technique and potential for the watermarking of video.     

基于多尺度几何分析的SAR图像融合

在穿墙雷达成像技术中,建筑布局成像对确定墙后人体目标的空间相对位置以及多径虚假目标的提取有重要意义。目前的建筑布局成像一般采用多通道多视角图像融合方法,对此提出一种基于多尺度分析,即基于小波分解下的多通道多视角图像融合算法。该算法分为两个阶段,第一阶段涉及到单视角下的多通道图像融合,该阶段的融合目的主要是为增强图像细节信息和提高图像清晰度。因此对其小波分解后的图像高频分量采用平均梯度增强的加权融合算法,低频分量采用平均加权融合,后经小波反变换后形成多幅单视角图像;第二阶段涉及到多视角融合,该阶段的融合目的主要是为了增强图像的对比度,并且考虑到此阶段不同视角下图像经小波分解后的三个高频分量对比度各不相同,因此高频分量采用对比度增强的加权融合算法,低频分量仍采用平均加权融合,后将融合后的频率分量经小波反变换,便可得到一幅完整融合图像。仿真结果表明,提出的基于小波分解下的多通道多视角图像融合算法不论在图像视觉效果的改善和信噪比的提高等方面都有较大的作用。

Gradient-based multiresolution image fusion

A novel approach to multiresolution signal-level image fusion is presented for accurately transferring visual information from any number of input image signals, into a single fused image without loss of information or the introduction of distortion. The proposed system uses a "fuse-then-decompose" technique realized through a novel, fusion/decomposition system architecture. In particular, information fusion is performed on a multiresolution gradient map representation domain of image signal information. At each resolution, input images are represented as gradient maps and combined to produce new, fused gradient maps. Fused gradient map signals are processed, using gradient filters derived from high-pass quadrature mirror filters to yield a fused multiresolution pyramid representation. The fused output image is obtained by applying, on the fused pyramid, a reconstruction process that is analogous to that of conventional discrete wavelet transform. This new gradient fusion significantly reduces the amount of distortion artefacts and the loss of contrast information usually observed in fused images obtained from conventional multiresolution fusion schemes. This is because fusion in the gradient map domain significantly improves the reliability of the feature selection and information fusion processes. Fusion performance is evaluated through informal visual inspection and subjective psychometric preference tests, as well as objective fusion performance measurements. Results clearly demonstrate the superiority of this new approach when compared to conventional fusion systems.
