This paper provides principles and applications of the sparse microwave imaging theory and
technology. Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) is an important method of modern remote …

In spite of the success of the standard wavelet transform (WT) in image processing in recent
years, the efficiency of its representation is limited by the spatial isotropy of its basis …

We present a novel 2-D wavelet transform scheme of adaptive directional lifting (ADL) in
image coding. Instead of alternately applying horizontal and vertical lifting, as in present …

Nearly all block-based transform schemes for image and video coding developed so far
choose the 2-D discrete cosine transform (DCT) of a square block shape. With almost no …

In this paper, an improved multiplicative image watermarking system is presented. Since
human visual system is less sensitive to the image edges, watermarking is applied in the …

In this paper, we use polyharmonic B-splines to build multidimensional wavelet bases.
These functions are nonseparable, multidimensional basis functions that are localized …

The standard 2D wavelet transform (WT) has been an effective tool in image processing. In
recent years, many new transforms have been proposed successively, such as curvelets …

We investigate image and video denoising using adaptive dual-tree discrete wavelet
packets (ADDWP), which is extended from the dual-tree discrete wavelet transform (DDWT) …

Detecting dim targets in infrared imagery remains a challenging task. Several techniques
exist for detecting bright, high contrast targets such as CFAR detectors, edge detection, and …

The application of the wavelet transform in image processing is most frequently based on a
separable construction. Lines and columns in an image are treated independently and the …
