In today’s digital world, image edge detection is widely used in all over the globe. Digital image edge detection is used to detect the sharp changes in brightness of the images and the edge of a digital image. There are many classical techniques used to detect image edge detection like Canny, Sobel, Prewitt and Robert edge detector method. The proposed research work mainly focuses on the study of different edge detection methods which were previously derived and to propose an efficient method of digital image edge detection technique using Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT). The results were compared with one of the best edge detector method: Canny Edge Detector. In the proposed image edge detection method, the first analytical result showed that an input image after applying the thresholding technique represents a segmentation of image edges and the second analytical results showed the 8- connected components of pixel connectivity in two dimensional images related to their neighbor pixels producing the enhanced edges. To evaluate the performance of the proposed algorithm with the existing algorithms, the two thresholding values were applied as T_low and T_high using hysteresis thresholding method. PSNR and width σ were also computed to detect the efficiency of the proposed algorithm.

Image compression technique is used in many applications for example, satellite imaging, medical imaging, video where the size of the iamge requires more space to store, in such application image compression effectively can be used. There are two types in image compression techniques Lossy and Lossless comression. Both these techniques are used for compression of images, but these techniques are not fast. The image compression techniques both lossy and lossless image compression techniques are not fast, they take more time for compression and decompression. For fast and efficient image compression a parallel computing technique is used in matlab. Matlab is used in this project for parallel computing of images. In this paper we will discuss Regular image compression technique, three alternatives of parallel computing using matlab, comparison of image compression with and without parallel computing.

This paper aims to analyze the heart electrocardiograph (ECG) to diagnose the heart performance and predict any future complications. The authors utilize the MIT BIH database to obtain the original data. The discrete wavelet transform (DWT) is used to decompose the ECG signal and to reconstruct it. The means of different performance measures of the heart performance (QRS,RR,ST,QT,PR) are tested for their significance before comparing them to the limits of normal performance. Any abnormal measure is used to diagnose the corresponding disease(s). Prediction techniques are used to expect any future complications regarding the abnormal measure(s). Two methods of prediction are applied: the Linear Prediction Method (LPM) and the Grid Partitioning and Fuzzy c-mean Clustering based on Neuro-Fuzzy prediction.

Digital social platform increase the importance of image in daily life. Hence privacy of content plays an important role when content get live, so data owner put signature inform of watermark for claiming its proprietorship. This work has proposed embedding and extraction technique which increase the accuracy of watermark extraction. Proposed model utilize the frequency region of the image for embedding by swapping the LSC (Least Significant Coefficient) and MSC (Most Significant Coefficient). As per watermark information and noise level embedding of information perform swapping in LSC and MSC. After embedding each vector of DWT was used for training the Error Back Propagation Neural Network. This trained neural network extract watermark at receiver side of work. Use of neural network for watermark recovery increase watermark work performance under different attack as well. Real image dataset was used for checking the performance of proposed watermarking model. Results shows that proposed DWT Swapping and Neural Network has increase different evaluation parameter values.

Face image is an efficient biometric trait to recognize human beings without expecting any cooperation from a person. In this paper, we propose HVDLP: Horizontal Vertical Diagonal Local Pattern based face recognition using Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) and Local Binary Pattern (LBP). The face images of different sizes are converted into uniform size of 108×990and color images are converted to gray scale images in pre-processing. The Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) is applied on pre-processed images and LL band is obtained with the size of 54×45. The Novel concept of HVDLP is introduced in the proposed method to enhance the performance. The HVDLP is applied on 9×9 sub matrix of LL band to consider HVDLP coefficients. The local Binary Pattern (LBP) is applied on HVDLP of LL band. The final features are generated by using Guided filters on HVDLP and LBP matrices. The Euclidean Distance (ED) is used to compare final features of face database and test images to compute the performance parameters.

The goal of this paper is to detect the breast cancer using neural networks. Image processing techniques play an important role in the diagnostics and detection of diseases and monitoring the patients having these diseases. Breast Cancer detection of medical images is one of the most important elements of this field. Because of low contrast and ambiguous the structure of the tumor cells in breast images, it is still a challenging task to automatically segment the breast tumors. Our method presents an innovative approach to the diagnosis of breast tumor incorporates with some noise removal functions, followed by improvement features and gain better characteristics of medical images for a right diagnosis using balance contrast enhancement techniques (BCET). The results of second stage is subjected to image segmentation using Fuzzy c-Means (FCM) clustering method and Thresholding method to segment the out boundaries of the breast and to locate the Breast Tumor boundaries (shape, area, spatial sizes, etc.) in the images. The third stage feature extraction using Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT). Finally the artificial neural network will be used to classify the stage of Breast Tumor that is benign, malignant or normal. The early detection of Breast tumor will improves the chances of survival for the patient. Probabilistic Neural Network (PNN) with radial basis function will be employed to implement an automated breast tumor classification.

En este trabajo, se desarrolló una interfaz en MatLab preparada para cuantificar de manera sistemática el desempeño de distintos algoritmos para reconstruir imágenes médicas obtenidas por ultrasonido. Los filtros seleccionados utilizan umbrales duros y blandos aplicados a los coeficientes wavelet de la imagen exportada del ecógrafo. Las transformadas elegidas son transformadas discreta wavelet (DWT) [26], [59], transformadas Daubechies wavelets simétricas (SDW) [54], [55], onditas complejas de doble árbol (DT-CWT) [47], [66], phaselet [28], [29] y curvelet [15][81]. Según el estado del arte actual, estas transformadas corresponden al conjunto de las que obtienen mejores resultados de reducción de ruido tipo speckle.
La plataforma integra distintas métricas objetivas que utilizan referencia externa (pico de relación señal ruido - PSNR), que utilizan referencia reducida (ganancia de contraste – CG) y que no necesitan referencia alguna (resolución lateral - RL, resolución axial - RA). Así mismo, la misma fue desarrollada para cuantificar estás métricas, no solo sobre la imagen total, sino también en entornos definidos por el usuario, variando posición y cantidad de pixeles.
En este trabajo, se propone un método consistente que implica obtener la imagen mediante la captura de un fantoma conocido (en este caso, un fantoma multipropósito comercial), con zonas de distintas impedancias y tamaños. De esta manera, generar la imagen utilizada como referencia a partir de las especificaciones técnicas brindadas por el fabricante.
Se realizaron pruebas sobre imágenes obtenidas a partir de la captura un fantoma Gammex 403 GS LE por un ecógrafo Esaote MyLabTM 25, aplicando umbrales duros y blandos a los coeficientes wavelet. Se compararon los distintos descriptores en entornos de objetivos infinitesimales y quistes de distinta impedancia. A partir de estas pruebas, se puede concluir que los valores de mejora sobre la PSNR no siempre reflejan una mejora en otros índices importantes.

Steganography is the art of covered or hidden writing. The main purpose of steganography is covert communication-to hide the existence of a message from a third party. Steganography is generally used to hide important information in a visible media mostly an image. A good approach to steganography must provide two attributes: high security against the different attacks called steganalysis, which is nothing but a technique used for detecting hidden information using steganography method and second is compression. Image compression not only reduces storage but also benefits transmission. In this paper the image steganography is achieved with enhanced security due to QR code and compression using DWT transform, without affecting the actual cover image due to addition of secret information which is in form of QR codes. The process for embedding the QR codes has been carried out using Embedding and Extraction algorithm which insures secure and fast transmission of stego image. These results validate the practical feasibility of the proposed method for security applications.

Image Compression addresses the matter of reducing the amount of data needed to represent the digital image. There are several transformation techniques used for data compression. Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) and Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) is mostly used transformation. The Discrete cosine transform (DCT) is a method for transform an image from spatial domain to frequency domain. DCT has high energy compaction property and requires less computational resources. On the other hand, DWT is multi resolution transformation. The research paper includes various approaches that have been used by different researchers for Image Compression. The analysis has been carried out in terms of performance parameters Peak signal to noise ratio, Bit error rate, Compression ratio, Mean square error. and time taken for decomposition and reconstruction.

In image processing one of significant perspective is the image compression. It is concerned in reducing the quantity of fundamental element to represent of an image. An immense memory and high data transfer capacity are required for transmission of pictures continuously. Hereafter to build the organization capacities of winning organizations in a successful way and furthermore to make the interest for capacity to an economical level, image compression gives a quick solution for this arrangement. In this proposed work, an effective discrete wavelet transform (DWT) is designed for compression of image by utilizing fundamental cell strategy and a streamlined controller pathway laterally with a capable design architecture is suggested. The architecture design is thought by reasonably interconnecting the units and is realized in Verilog HDL. The task complier is been utilized to synthesize and confirm the design functional practically by utilizing the EDA tool. The result of the approach shows decline in power use, repetition in memory utilization, high-throughput and less latency contrasted with other existing techniques.

The applications using face biometric has proved its reliability in last decade. In this paper, we propose DBC based Face Recognition using DWT (DBC- FR) model. The Poly-U Near Infra Red (NIR) database images are scanned and cropped to get only the face part in pre-processing. The face part is resized to 100*100 and DWT is applied to derive LL, LH, HL and HH subbands. The LL subband of size 50*50 is converted into 100 cells with 5*5 dimention of each cell. The Directional Binary Code (DBC) is applied on each 5*5 cell to derive 100 features. The Euclidian distance measure is used to compare the features of test image and database images. The proposed algorithm render better percentage recognition rate compared to the existing algorithm.

Currently, Video steganography is especially used for the aim of secure digital communication. This is often the art of hiding all the information in between sender and receiver through carrier like graphics, documents, videos and pictures for the aim of getting the stego objects. Video steganography has significant growth thanks to video data transmission over the net. The performance of the algorithms depends on two factors: data embedding efficiency and data embedding payload. within the past years, a high data embedding payload of video steganography using DWT and IDWT technique which used for the aim of communicating the information secretly among sender and receiver.

The information security has become one of the most significant problems in data communication. So it becomes an inseparable part of data communication. In order to address this problem, cryptography and steganography can be combined. This paper proposes a secure communication system. It employs cryptographic algorithm together with steganography. The jointing of these techniques provides a robust and strong communication system that able to withstand against attackers. In this paper, the filter bank cipher is used to encrypt the secret text message, it provide high level of security, scalability and speed.

In order to contribute to the security of sharing and transferring medical images, we had presented a multiple watermarking technique for multiple protections; it was based on the combination of three transformations: the discrete wavelet transform (DWT), the fast Walsh-Hadamard transform (FWHT) and, the singular value decomposition (SVD). In this paper, three watermark images of sizes 512x 512 were inserted into a single medical image of various modalities such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT), and X-Radiation (X-ray). After applying DWT up to the third level on the original image, the high-resolution sub-bands were being selected subsequently to apply FWHT and then SVD. The singular values of the three watermark images were inserted into the singular values of the cover medical image. The experimental results showed the effectiveness of the proposed method in terms of quality and robustness compared to other reported techniques cited in the literature.

In this paper we proposed fast and accurate interpolation and resizing of images using lifting scheme approach. 5/3 lifting scheme is an accurate and computationally inexpensive interpolation technique for image resizing. We compared the bilinear interpolation, Haar lifting scheme and 5/3 lifting scheme in this paper. The lifting scheme algorithm is applied for image interpolation to resize the image. In case of reduction in size, the image components are reduced and the reconstruction will be carried out to the original image. The reconstruction results are better by using Mean Squared Error (MSE) and Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR) with other techniques like bilinear interpolation and Haar lifting schemes. The interpolation and reconstruction is executed in much less time with better MSE and PSNR as compared to Bilinear and Haar lifting schemes.

A pilfered duplicate of a digital video would be easily disseminated to the global audience because of the rapid high-speed internet. Due to impeccably replicable nature of digital video, numerous unlawful duplicates of the original video can be made. A video can undergo several intentional attacks like frame dropping, averaging, cropping and median filtering and unintentional attacks like the addition of noise and compression which can compromise copyright information, thereby denying the authentication. Hence techniques are needed to secure copyrights of the proprietor and counteract illegal copying. One of the techniques is Video Watermarking strategy for concealing some sort of information into digital video sequences that are orders of successive still frames. In this paper, we study properties of video watermarking, the arrangement of computerized video watermarking systems, watermark attacks, its applications, issues and challenges for video watermarking. At last, we propose some future research directions.
