摘要
We studied the variation of image entropy before and after wavelet decomposition, the optimal number of wavelet decomposition layers, and the effect of wavelet bases and image frequency components on entropy. Numerous experiments were done on typical images to calculate (using Matlab) the entropy before and after wavelet transform. It was verified that, to obtain minimal entropy, a three-layer decomposition should be adopted rather than higher orders. The result achieved by using biorthogonal wavelet decomposition is better than that of the orthogonal wavelet decomposition. The results are not directly proportional to the vanishing moment, however.
