PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENT OF MULTIPLE-INPUT/MULTIPLE-OUTPUT (MIMO) ORTHOGONAL FREQUENCY-DIVISION MULTIPLEXING (OFDM) SYSTEMS USING MIMO DISCRETE MULTIWAVELET TRANSFORM CODED OFDM

In the present work, we proposed to modify and improve multiple-input/multiple-output (MIMO) fast Fourier transform (FFT) coded orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (COFDM) by MIMO discrete multiwavelet transform (DMWT) COFDM to reduce the interference level and increase the spectral efficiency and complexity of the system. Combining space division multiplexing with multiwavelet and error correction coding and the diversity of the orthogonal frequency division coding to improve the performance of wireless systems requires mastery of all techniques. This DMWT-COFDM system is new and has many applications in telecommunication systems. In this paper, we present the MIMO-FFT-COFDM and MIMO-DMWT-COFDM system block diagrams. Compared with the MIMO-FFT-COFDM system, the bit error rate of the system can be reduced by more than 10 dB.

Multiwavelet based-approach to detect shared congestion in computer networks

Internet paths sharing the same congested link can be identified using several shared congestion detection techniques. The new detection technique which is proposed in this paper depends on the previous novel technique (delay correlation with wavelet denoising (DCW) with new denoising method called Discrete Multiwavelet Transform (DMWT) as signal denoising to separate between queuing delay caused by network congestion and delay caused by various other delay variations. The new detection technique provides faster convergence (3 to 5 seconds less than previous novel technique) while using fewer probe packets approximately half numbers than the previous novel technique, so it will reduce the overload on the network caused by probe packets. Thus, new detection technique will improve the overall performance of computer network.

Computation of Wavelet and Multiwavelet Transforms Using Fast Fourier Transform

A novel fast and efficient algorithm was proposed that uses the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) as a tool to compute the Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) and Discrete Multiwavelet Transform. The Haar Wavelet Transform and the GHM system are shown to be a special case of the proposed algorithm, where the discrete linear convolution will adapt to achieve the desired approximation and detail coefficients. Assuming that no intermediate coefficients are canceled and no approximations are made, the algorithm will give the exact solution. Hence the proposed algorithm provides an efficient complexity verses accuracy tradeoff. The main advantages of the proposed algorithm is that high band and the low band coefficients can be exploited for several classes of signals resulting in very low computation.

Banks of filters for implementation of DMWT of an image

Abstract We describee some possible options for implementation of the Discrete multiwavelet transform (DMWT) of an image by using filter banks. DMWT can be implemented by two channel bank of vector filters which are made by cross-connected scalar filters. The properties of DGHM, CL, BiHermite and SA4 multiwavelets are here analyzed, and compression analysis for output normalization of DMWT is performed. A procedure is design of equivalent replacing of 2 channel multifilters bank by 4 channel bank of single scalar filters. Finally, we deal with a possible reduction and combinations of subbands and suggest their use.

Image compression using fractal multiwavelet transform

Multiwavelets occur in wavelet theory for more general multiresolution analysis (MRA) using several scaling functions. The muliwavelets feature orthogonality, short support, symmetry, approximation order and regularity at a time which is not possible by using only a single wavelet system. In the present work, theory of MRA and wavelet using several scaling functions is reviewed to define Discrete Multiwavelet Transform and Fractal Multiwavelet Transform in matrix form, using a multifilter. As an application the defined transforms are applied to an image for its compression and the resulting entropy and PSNR values are compared with those occurring with earlier used transforms like Haar and D4 transforms.

Application of Discrete Multi-wavelet Transform in Denoising of Mammographic Images

Objectives: Clinical and surgical procedures heavily depend on acquiring and transmitting medical information by electronic devices and media in the form of medical images. In this process the quality of these images are degraded by noise, making denoising mandatory. Methods/Statistical Analysis: In this paper de noising algorithms in wavelet domain for mammographic images (used for detection of breast cancer in women) are considered. A modified approach for de noising of mammographic images using Multi Wavelet Transform has been proposed with four different thresholding techniques.These Multi wavelets possess important properties like orthogonality, symmetry and compact support simultaneously.Performance of denoising methods improves considerably due to these properties. Findings: Proposed method is applied on large data set of digital mammographic images freely available as mammographic data base by MAIS. DMWT based denoising scheme with four different types of thresholding estimates, namely Bayesian shrink, Visu shrink, neighborhood shrink and modified neighborhood shrink is applied on data set and compared the performance of proposed denoising algorithm with dwt based existing denoising methods. Higher the value of σ (noise variance) for Gaussian noise considered lower is the value of PSNR, obtained, whatever is the transformation and techniques applied. Even among the DMWT: GHM,CL and SA4, SA4 gives the best response for all the cases. Applications/Improvements: The results are compared on the basis of Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR) in dB. Results clearly indicate the superiority of the proposed method in all the four cases over exiting wavelet based method. This new improved method will help a lot in diagnosis of breast cancer more accurately and the correct prognosis can save many lives.

Discrete Multiwavelet–Based Video Watermarking Scheme Using SURF

This paper proposes a robust, imperceptible block-based digital video watermarking algorithm that makes use of the Speeded Up Robust Feature (SURF) technique. The SURF technique is used to extract the most important features of a video. A discrete multiwavelet transform (DMWT) domain in conjunction with a discrete cosine transform is used for embedding a watermark into feature blocks. The watermark used is a binary image. The proposed algorithm is further improved for robustness by an error-correction code to protect the watermark against bit errors. The same watermark is embedded temporally for every set of frames of an input video to improve the decoded watermark correlation. Extensive experimental results demonstrate that the proposed DMWT domain video watermarking using SURF features is robust against common image processing attacks, motion JPEG2000 compression, frame averaging, and frame swapping attacks. The quality of a watermarked video under the proposed algorithm is high, demonstrating the imperceptibility of an embedded watermark.

Image Steganography by Using Multiwavelet Transform

Steganography is the art of secret communication. Its purpose is to hide the presence of information, using, for example, images as covers. The frequency domain is well suited for embedding in image, since hiding in this frequency domain coefficients is robust to many attacks. This paper proposed hiding a secret image of size equal to quarter of the cover one. Set Partitioning in Hierarchal Trees (SPIHT) codec is used to code the secret image to achieve security. The proposed method applies Discrete Multiwavelet Transform (DMWT) for cover image. The coded bit stream of the secret image is embedded in the high frequency subbands of the transformed cover one. A scaling factors ? and ? in frequency domain control the quality of the stego images. The proposed algorithm is compared with wavelet based algorithm which shows a favorable results in terms of PSNR reaches to 18 dB.

Denoising of Medical Images Using Multiwavelet Transforms and Various Thresholding Techniques

The problem of estimating an image corrupted by additive white Gaussian noise has been of interest for practical reasons. Non-linear denoising methods based on wavelets, have become popular but Multiwavelets outperform wavelets in image denoising. Multiwavelets are wavelets with several scaling and wavelet functions, offer simultaneously Orthogonality, Symmetry, Short support and Vanishing moments, which is not possible with ordinary (scalar) wavelets. These properties make Multiwavelets promising for image processing applications, such as image denoising. The aim of this paper is to apply various non-linear thresholding techniques such as hard, soft, universal, modified universal, fixed and multivariate thresholding in Multiwavelet transform domain such as Discrete Multiwavelet Transform, Symmetric Asymmetric (SA4), Chui Lian (CL), and Bi-Hermite (Bih52S) for different Multiwavelets at different levels, to denoise an image and determine the best one out of it. The performance of denoising algorithms and various thresholding are measured using quantitative performance measures such as, Mean Square Error (MSE), and Root Mean Square Error (RMSE), Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR), Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR). It is found that CL Multiwavelet transform in combination with modified universal thresholding has given best results.

A Radon-Multiwavelet Based OFDM System Design and Simulation Under Different Channel Conditions

Finite Radon transform (FRAT) mapper has the ability to increase orthogonality of sub-carriers, it is non sensitive to channel parameters variations, and has a small constellation energy compared with conventional fast Fourier transform (FFT) based orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM). It is also able to work as a good interleaver which significantly reduces the bit error rate (BER). Due to its good orthogonality, discrete Multiwavelet transform (DMWT) is attractive for implementation in OFDM systems which reduces inter-symbol interference (ISI) and inter-carrier interference (ICI) and eliminates the need for cyclic prefix and increases the spectral efficiency of the design. In this paper both FRAT and DMWT are implemented in a new design for OFDM. The new structure was tested and compared with conventional FFT-based OFDM, Radon-based OFDM, and DMWT-based OFDM for additive white Gaussian noise channel, flat fading channel, and multi-path selective fading channel. Simulation tests were generated for different channels parameters values. The obtained results showed that proposed system has increased spectral efficiency, reduced ISI and ICI, and improved BER performance compared with other systems.

Medical Image Compression Using Multiwavelet Transform

With the development of micro electronics and information technology, there are more pixels in unit area of the imaging device. The high resolution images with more pixels can be obtained easily. But the high resolution images have huge data volume. It is difficult to transmit, to process, to store high resolution images. So compressing images is an important technology to reduce the requisite storage space and transmission channel bandwidth. In this paper multiwavelet coding has been proved to be a very effective technique for medical images giving significantly better results. The Discrete Multiwavelet Transform of the image is calculated with Geronimo- Hardin - Massopust (GHM) multiwavelet. The wavelet coefficients are encoded using SPIHT coder. This method yields better compression performance. The quality of the image is assessed by PSNR value, Compression Ratio and Coding times.

Oblivious Image Watermarking in Discrete Multiwavelet Domain using QIMM

This paper proposes a novel oblivious image watermarking technique for the copyright protection and authentication of still images, based on Discrete Multiwavelet Transform (DMWT) and Quantization Index Modulus Modulation (QIMM). The multiwavelet coefficients of an image are quantized using QIMM and the coefficients are modified according to the binary watermark logo. Watermark extraction does not require the original image. Experimental results show that, the proposed watermarking scheme is robust to image compression and rotational attacks. It is superior to the method proposed by Lin et al. [10] in terms of Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR) and Bit Error Rate (BER).

Image Recognition Using Combination of Discrete Multi_Wavelet and Wavenet Transform

Focus of the method was to present image identification and labeling using new combination of dynamic transforms. This method is based on using the combination of the Discrete Multi-wavelet Transform (DMWT) and Wavenet Transform (WN). In this method, the resulting coefficients were computed by the proposed multi-wavelets transform for single-level decomposition. The low pass sub bands of the upper left corner are considered in the proposed method as a resemblance and a smaller version of the original image. The Wavenet Transform (WN) of low – low coefficients will be obtained one after another and the outcome from the band pass sub bands of the lower right corner is the feature extraction of each image to the recognition identification of the image. This method gave an excellent result: 99% for a database of 100 different images which indicate that the suggested algorithm is an excellent tool to process the database of standard pose of image. The algorithm is implemented using MATLAB programming languages version 7.

Generalized Discrete Multiwavelet Transform With Embedded Orthogonal Symmetric Prefilter Bank

<para xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> Prefilters are generally applied to the discrete multiwavelet transform (DMWT) for processing scalar signals. To fully utilize the benefit offered by DMWT, it is important to have the prefilter designed appropriately so as to preserve the important properties of multiwavelets. To this end, we have recently shown that it is possible to have the prefilter designed to be maximally decimated, yet preserve the linear phase and orthogonal properties as well as the approximation power of multiwavelets. However, such design requires the point of symmetry of each channel of the prefilter to match with the scaling functions of the target multiwavelet system. It can be very difficult to find a compatible filter bank structure; and in some cases, such filter structure simply does not exist, e.g., for multiwavelets of multiplicity 2. In this paper, we suggest a new DMWT structure in which the prefilter is combined with the first stage of DMWT. The advantage of the new structure is twofold. First, since the prefiltering stage is embedded into DMWT, the computational complexity can be greatly reduced. Experimental results show that an over 20% saving in arithmetic operations can be achieved comparing with the traditional DMWT realizations. Second, the new structure provides additional design freedom that allows the resulting prefilters to be maximally decimated, orthogonal and symmetric even for multiwavelets of low multiplicity. We evaluated the new DMWT structure in terms of computational complexity, energy compaction ratio as well as the compression performance when applying to a VQ based image coding system. Satisfactory results are obtained in all cases comparing with the traditional approaches. </para>

Fusion algorithm for multisensor images based on discrete multiwavelet transform

The authors review the recent 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.

Image compression using a new discrete multiwavelet transform and a new embedded vector quantization

An embedded image compression scheme using the discrete multiwavelet transform (DMWT) is proposed. The proposed coding scheme is based on a new prefilter design for DMWT and a new embedded coding algorithm which combines scalar quantization and 2/spl times/2 vector quantization (VQ). A new algorithm for embedded VQ codebook generation is proposed, which is shown to have a better performance than the current schemes. The performance of the proposed compression scheme is comparable to the one of the SPIHT algorithm.
