Remote-sensing image fusion based on curvelets and ICA

Improving the quality of pan-sharpened multispectral (MS) bands is the main aim of the recent research on pan-sharpening. In this article, we present a novel image fusion method based on combining the curvelet transform and independent component analysis (ICA). The idea is to map the MS bands onto a statistically independent domain to determine the intensity component, which contains the common information of the MS bands, and then to pan-sharpen it using curvelets and a modified adaptive fusion rule. The proposed method is evaluated by visual and statistical analyses and compared with the curvelet (CVT)-based method using a context-based decision model, the CVT-based method using the Dempster–Shafer evidence theory, the improved ICA method, and the combined adaptive principle component analysis (PCA)–Contourlet method. The experimental results using QuickBird and WorldView-2 data show that the proposed method effectively reduces the spectral distortion while injecting spatial details into the fused bands as much as possible.

A Comparative Study of Wavelet and Curvelet Transform for Image Denoising

This paper describes a comparison of the discriminating power of the various multiresolution based thresholding techniques i.e., Wavelet, curve let for image denoising.Curvelet transform offer exact reconstruction, stability against perturbation, ease of implementation and low computational complexity. We propose to employ curve let for facial feature extraction and perform a thorough comparison against wavelet transform; especially, the orientation of curve let is analysed.

Hybrid Multiresolution Method for Multisensor Multimodal Image Fusion

The aim of image fusion is to integrate complementary information from several images to create a highly informative image which is more suitable for human visual perception or computer-processing tasks. Recent studies show that stationary wavelet transform (SWT) and nonsubsampled contourlet transform (NSCT) both turn out to be effective and efficient for image fusion. In order to take some complementary characteristics between the two multiresolution transformations simultaneously, we propose a hybrid multiresolution method by combining the SWT with the NSCT to perform image fusion. Two methods, serial NSCT aiding SWT (SNAS) and serial SWT aiding NSCT (SSAN), are studied and compared with some state-of-the-art methods. Experimental results demonstrate that the SSAN method performs better than SNAS and the individual multiresolution-based methods, such as NSCT, SWT, complex wavelet (CWT), curvelet (CVT) and wavelet-based contourlet (WBCT).

Curvelet-based primary-multiple separation from a Bayesian perspective

In this abstract, we present a novel primary-multiple separation scheme which makes use of the sparsity of both primaries and multiples in a transform domain, such as the curvelet transform, to provide estimates of each. The proposed algorithm utilizes seismic data as well as the output of a preliminary step that provides (possibly) erroneous predictions of the multiples. The algorithm separates the signal components, i.e., the primaries and multiples, by solving an optimization problem that assumes noisy input data and can be derived from a Bayesian perspective. More precisely, the optimization problem can be arrived at via an assumption of a weighted Laplacian distribution for the primary and multiple coefficients in the transform domain and of white Gaussian noise contaminating both the seismic data and the preliminary prediction of the multiples, which both serve as input to the algorithm.
