DUAL-TREE COMPLEX WAVELET TRANSFORM IN THE FREQUENCY DOMAIN AND AN APPLICATION TO SIGNAL CLASSIFICATION

The process of enriching the important details from various modality medical images by combining them into single image is called multimodality medical image fusion. It aids physicians in terms of better visualization, more accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment plan for the cancer patient. The combined fused image is the result of merging of anatomical and physiological variations. It allows accurate localization of cancer tissues and more helpful for estimation of target volume for radiation. The details from both modalities (CT and MRI) are extracted in frequency domain by applying various transforms and combined them using variety of fusion rules to achieve the best quality of images. The performance and effectiveness of each transform on fusion results is evaluated subjectively as well as objectively. The fused images by algorithms in which feature extraction is achieved by M-Band Wavelet Transform and Daubechies Complex Wavelet Transform are superior over other frequency domain algorithms as per subjective and objective analysis.

A novel signal denoising method is proposed whereby goodness-of-fit (GOF) test in combination with a majority classifications-based neighbourhood filtering is employed on complex wavelet coefficients obtained by applying dual tree complex wavelet transform (DT-CWT) on a noisy signal. The DT-CWT has proven to be a better tool for signal denoising as compared to the conventional discrete wavelet transform (DWT) owing to its approximate translation invariance. The proposed framework exploits statistical neighbourhood dependencies by performing the GOF test locally on the DT-CWT coefficients for their preliminary classification/detection as signal or noise. Next, a deterministic neighbourhood filtering approach based on majority noise classifications is employed to detect false classification of signal coefficients as noise (via the GOF test) which are subsequently restored. The proposed method shows competitive performance against the state of the art in signal denoising.
