Image compression is the emerging field to transmit the multimedia products like image, video and audio. Image compression is used to reduce the storage quantity as much as possible. The objective of this paper is to compare the multiscale transform based image compression encoding techniques. The multiscale transforms involved in this paper are wavelet transform, bandelet transform, curvelet transform, ridgelet transform and contourlet transform. Wavelet transform allows good localization both in time and frequency domain. Bandelet transform takes geometric regularity of the natural images to improve the efficiency of representation. Curvelet transform handles curve discontinuities well. Curvelets are the good tool for the analysis and the computation of partial differential equations. Curvelets also have micro local features which make them especially adapted to certain reconstruction problems with missing data. The ridgelet transform is the core idea behind curvelet transform. It is used to represent objects with line singularities. The contourlet transform gets smooth contours and edges at any orientation. It filters noise as well. The Encoding techniques involved in this paper are spatial orientation tree wavelet (STW), set partitioned embedded block (SPECK) and compression with reversible embedded wavelet (CREW). The performance parameters such as peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR), image quality index and structural similarity index (SSIM) are used for the purpose of evaluation. It is found that bandelet transform with all the encoding techniques work well.

Lifting Wavelet

Compressed sampling in the application of magnetic resonance imaging compression requires high accuracy when reconstructing from a small number of samples. Sparsity in magnetic resonance images is a fundamental requirement in compressed sampling. In this paper, we proposed the lifting wavelet transform sparsity technique by taking wavelet coefficients on the low pass sub-band that contains meaningful information. The application of novel methods useful for compressing data with the highest compression ratio at the sender but still maintaining high accuracy at the receiver. These wavelet coefficient values are arranged to form a sparse vector. We explore the performance of the proposed method by testing at several levels of lifting wavelet transform decomposition, include Levels 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. The second requirement for compressed sampling is the acquisition technique. The data sampled sparse vectors using a normal distributed random measurement matrix. This matrix is normalized to the average energy of the image pixel block. The last compressed sampling requirement is a reconstruction algorithm. In this study, we analyze three reconstruction algorithms, namely Level 1 magic, iteratively reweighted least squares, and orthogonal matching pursuit, based on structural similarity index measured and peak signal to noise ratio metrics. Experimental results show that magnetic resonance imaging can be reconstructed with higher structural similarity index measured and peak signal to noise ratio using the lifting wavelet transform sparsity technique at a minimum decomposition level of 4. The proposed lifting wavelet transforms and Level 1 magic reconstruction algorithm has the best performance compared to the others at the measurement rate range between 10 to 70. This method also outperforms the techniques in previous studies.

This paper presents a new algorithm to reduce the noise from Kalpana Satellite Images using Dual Tree Complex Wavelet Transform technique. Satellite Images are not simple photographs; they are pictorial representation of measured data. Interpretation of noisy raw data leads to wrong estimation of geophysical parameters such as precipitation, cloud information etc., hence there is a need to improve the raw data by reducing the noise for better analysis. The satellite images are normally affected by various noises. This paper mainly concentrates on reducing the Gaussian noise, Poisson noise and Salt & Pepper noise. Finally the performance of the DTCWT wavelet measures in terms of Peak Signal to Noise Ratio and Structural Similarity Index for both noisy & denoised Kalpana images.

A novel scheme is presented for image compression using a compatible form called Chimera. This form represents a new transformation for the image pixels. The compression methods generally look for image division to obtain small parts of an image called blocks. These blocks contain limited predicted patterns such as flat area, simple slope, and single edge inside images. The block content of these images represent a special form of data which be reformed using simple masks to obtain a compressed representation. The compression representation is different according to the type of transform function which represents the preprocessing operation prior the coding step. The cost of any image transformation is represented by two main parameters which are the size of compressed block and the error in reconstructed block. Our proposed Chimera Transform (CT) shows a robustness against other transform such as Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT), Wavelet Transform (WT) and Karhunen-Loeve Transform (KLT). The suggested approach is designed to compress a specific data type which are the images, and this represents the first powerful characteristic of this transform. Additionally, the reconstructed image using Chimera transform has a small size with low error which could be considered as the second characteristic of the suggested approach. Our results show a Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR) enhancement of 2.0272 for DCT, 1.179 for WT and 4.301 for KLT. In addition, a Structural Similarity Index Measure (SSIM) enhancement of 0.1108 for DCT, 0.051 for WT and 0.175 for KLT.

     Various document types play an influential role in a lot of our lives activities today; hence preserving their integrity is an important matter. Such documents have various forms, including texts, videos, sounds, and images.  The latter types' authentication will be our concern here in this paper. Images can be handled spatially by doing the proper modification directly on their pixel values or spectrally through conducting some adjustments to some of the addressed coefficients. Due to spectral (frequency) domain flexibility in handling data, the domain coefficients are utilized for the watermark embedding purpose. The integer wavelet transform (IWT), which is a wavelet transform based on the lifting scheme, is adopted in this paper in order to provide a direct way for converting image pixels' integer values to integer coefficient values rather than floating point coefficients that could be produced by the traditional wavelet transform. This direct relation can enhance the processed image quality due to avoiding the rounding operations on the floating point coefficients. The well-known parity bit approach is also utilized in this paper as an authentication mechanism, where 3 secret parity bits are used for each block in an image which is divided into non-overlapped blocks in order to enforce a form of fragile watermark approach. Thus, any alteration in the block pixels could cause the adopted (even) parity to be violated. The fragile watermarking is achieved through the modification of least significant bits ((LSBs) of certain frequency coefficients' according to the even parity condition. In spite of this image watermarking operation, the proposed method is efficient. In order to prove the efficiency of our proposed method, it was tested against standard images using measurements like peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR) and structural similarity index (SSIM).  Experiments showed promising results; the method preserves high image quality (PSNR≈ 44.4367dB, SSIM≈ 0.9956) and good tamper detection capability.

This paper aims in presenting a thorough comparison of performance and usefulness of concept of spatial-scale domain based techniques in digital watermarking in order to sustain the ownership, security and true authentication. Spatial-scale based image watermarking techniques provides the information of 2-Dimensional (2-D) signal at different scales and levels, which is desirable for image watermarking. Further, these techniques emerged as a powerful and efficient tool to overcome the limitation of Fourier, spatial, as well as, purely frequency based techniques. The spatial-scale based watermarking techniques, namely, Contourlet Transform (CT), Non Sub-sampled Contourlet Transform (NSCT), Stationary Wavelet Transform (SWT) and Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) have been selected for watermarking process. Further, the comparison of performance of the selected watermarking techniques have been carried out in terms of different metrics, such as Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR), Root Mean Square Error (RMSE), Tamper Assessment Factor (TAF) and Mean Structural Similarity Index (MSSIM). Analysis of result shows that multi-directional and shift-invariant NSCT technique outperforms the SWT and DWT based image watermarking techniques in terms of authentication, better capture quality, and tampering resistance, subjective and objective evaluation.

We describe the lifting dual tree complex wavelet transform (LDTCWT), a type of lifting wavelets remodeling that produce complex coefficients by employing a dual tree of lifting wavelets filters to get its real part and imaginary part. Permits the remodel to produce approximate shift invariance, directionally selective filters and reduces the computation time (properties lacking within the classical wavelets transform). We describe a way to estimate the accuracy of this approximation and style appropriate filters to attain this. These benefits are often exploited among applications like denoising, segmentation, image fusion and compression. The results of applications shrinkage denoising demonstrate objective and subjective enhancements over the dual tree complex wavelet transform (DTCWT). The results of the shrinkage denoising example application indicate empirical and subjective enhancements over the DTCWT. The new transform with the DTCWT provide a trade-off between denoising computational competence of performance, and memory necessities. We tend to use the PSNR (peak signal to noise ratio) alongside the structural similarity index measure (SSIM) and the SSIM map to estimate denoised image quality.

Compression Artifacts

Since high quality realistic media are widely used in various computer vision applications, image compression is one of the essential technologies to enable real-time applications. Image compression generally causes undesired compression artifacts, such as blocking artifacts and ringing effects. In this study, we propose a densely cascading image restoration network (DCRN), which consists of an input layer, a densely cascading feature extractor, a channel attention block, and an output layer. The densely cascading feature extractor has three densely cascading (DC) blocks, and each DC block contains two convolutional layers, five dense layers, and a bottleneck layer. To optimize the proposed network architectures, we investigated the trade-off between quality enhancement and network complexity. Experimental results revealed that the proposed DCRN can achieve a better peak signal-to-noise ratio and structural similarity index measure for compressed joint photographic experts group (JPEG) images compared to the previous methods.
