As a fundamental characteristic of an image, texture traits play an important role in the human vision system for recognition and interpretation of images. The paper presents an approach to implement texture-based image retrieval using M-band wavelet transform. Firstly the traditional 2-band wavelet is extended to M-band wavelet transform. Then the wavelet moments are computed by M-band wavelet coefficients in the wavelet domain. The set of wavelet moments forms the feature vector related to the texture distribution of each wavelet images. The distances between the feature vectors describe the similarities of different images. The experimental result shows that the M-band wavelet moment features of the images are effective for image indexing. The retrieval method has lower computational complexity, yet it is capable of giving better retrieval performance for a given medical image database.展开更多

The performance can be evaluated and predicted through early state monitoring and data analysis. The vibration signal was modeled from the double row bearing,and wavelet transform and support vector machine model( WT-SVM model) was constructed and trained for bearing degradation process prediction. Besides Hazen plotting position relationships was applied to describing the degradation trend distribution and a 95%confidence level based on t-distribution was given. The single SVM model and neural network( NN) approach were also investigated as a comparison. Results indicate that the WT-SVM model outperforms the NN and single SVM models,and is feasible and effective in machinery condition prediction.展开更多

This motivation can let the mother-wavelet-state itself vary from |ψ〉 to Ftr, s |ψ〉, except for variation within the family of dilations and translations. The Parseval's equality, admissibility condition and inverse transform of this continuous Fresnel-wavelet combinatorial transform are analysed. By taking certain parameters and using the admissibility condition of this continuous Fresnel-wavelet combinatorial transform, we obtain some mother wavelets. A comparison between the newly found mother wavelets is presented.展开更多

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.展开更多

In this model, wavelet decomposition is used to extract important information of data at different levels and enhances the forecasting ability of the model. After wavelet transform different components are forecasted by their corresponding SVR predictors. The final prediction result is obtained by the summation of the predicted results for each component. The proposed hybrid model is examined by the data of bus route No.550 in Nanjing, China. The performance of WT-SVR model is evaluated by mean absolute error(MAE), mean absolute percent error(MAPE) and relative mean square error(RMSE), and also compared to regular SVR and ANN models. The results show that the prediction method based on wavelet transform and SVR has better tracking ability and dynamic behavior than regular SVR and ANN models. The forecasting performance is remarkably improved to obtain within 6% MAPE for testing section Ⅰ and 8% MAPE for testing section Ⅱ, which proves that the suggested approach is feasible and applicable in bus travel time prediction.展开更多

Gabor features are known to be effective for face recognition. The Gabor features extracted by Gabor filters have large dimensionality. The feature of wavelet transformation is feature reduction. Hence, the large dimensional Gabor features are reduced by wavelet transformation. The discriminative common vectors are obtained using the within-class scatter matrix method to get a feature representation of face images with enhanced discrimination and are classified using radial basis function network. The proposed system is validated using three face databases such as ORL, The Japanese Female Facial Expression (JAFFE) and Essex Face database. Experimental results show that the proposed method reduces the number of features, minimizes the computational complexity and yielded the better recognition rates.展开更多

In comparison with the other methods, this method not only keeps the characteristics of high compression ratio and easy real-time transmission, but also has the advantage of high computation speed. After lifting based integer wavelet and SFCVQ coding are intro- duced, a system of nearly lossless compression of hyperspectral images is designed. KLT is used to remove the correlation of spectral redundancy as one-dimensional (1D) linear transform, and SFCVQ coding is applied to enhance compression ratio. The two-dimensional (2D) integer wavelet transformation is adopted for the decorrelation of 2D spatial redundancy. EZW coding method is applied to compress data in wavelet domain. Experimental results show that in comparison with the method of wavelet SFCVQ (WSFCVQ), the method of improved BiBlock zero tree coding (IBBZTC) and the method of feature spectral vector quantization (FSVQ), the peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) of this method can enhance over 9 dB, and the total compression performance is improved greatly.展开更多

The architecture consists of row processors, column processors, an intermediate buffer and a control module. Row processor and Column processor work as the horizontal and vertical filters respectively. Intermediate buffer is composed of five FIFOs to store temporary results of horizontal filter. Control module schedules the output order to external memory. Compared with existing ones, the presented architecture parallelizes all levels of wavelet transform to compute multilevel DWT within one image transmission time, and uses no external but one intermediate buffer to store several line results of horizontal filtering, which decreases resource required significantly and reduces memory efficiently. This architecture is suitable for various real-time image/video applications.展开更多

This study aims to enhance ENSO forecasting with the Extended Reconstruction Sea Surface Temperature v5 (ERSSTv5) climate model. The M-band discrete wavelet transforms (DWT) are utilized to capture multi-scale temporal and spatial features effectively. Long-short term memory (LSTM) autoencoders are also used to capture significant spatial and temporal patterns in sea surface temperature (SST) anomaly data. Deep learning techniques such as the convolutional neural networks (CNN) are used with non-image and image time series data. We also employ parallel computing in a various support vector regression (SVR) approximators to enhance accuracy. Preliminary results indicate that this hybrid model effectively identifies key precursors and patterns associated with El Niño events, surpassing traditional forecasting methods. Results of the hybrid model produce a correlation of 0.93 in 4-month lagged forecasting of the Oceanic Niño Index (ONI)—indicative of high success rate of the model. Future work will focus on evaluating the model’s performance using additional reanalysis datasets and other methods of deep learning to further refine its robustness and applicability. We propose wavelet-based deep learning models which have potential to shine a light on achieving United Nations’ 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development’s goal 13: “Climate Action”, as an innovation with potential in improving time series image forecasting in all fields.展开更多
