Automatic target tracking is a challenging task in video surveillance applications. Here, an offline target-tracking system in video sequences using Discrete Wavelet Transform is presented. The proposed algorithm uses co-occurrence features, derived from sub-bands of discrete wavelet transformed sub-blocks, obtained from individual video frames, to identify a seed in the frame. Then, the region-growing algorithm is applied to detect and track the target. The results of the proposed target detection and tracking system in video sequences are found to be satisfactory. The effectiveness of the target-tracking algorithm has been proved as the target gets detected, irrespective of size of the target, perspective view and cluttered environment.

Aiming at the detection and tracking of moving targets in industrial automation system, a dynamic target tracking algorithm based on HAAR and CAMSHIFT is proposed. A cascade HAAR classifier is designed and trained for tracking targets. CAMSHIFT algorithm is used to track and detect moving targets quickly. The system is tested on Raspberry Pi embedded platform. The results show that the algorithm can detect the target correctly and track the target effectively.


In today’s era use of digital media is most popular way of communication. Digital media covers images, videos and animations available online. The easy methods of accessing, copying and editing digital media have made them more popular. With several advantages these easy methods of copying and editing data have created some big issues like ownership identification. This increases the demand of protecting online digital media. Watermarking is solution of such problem. In this work, a block-based method has been proposed for video watermarking that uses a key at the time of embedding and extraction. Some frames are selected from the video according to a key. Watermark is embedded on the selected frames after dividing into parts called blocks. Each part of the watermark is embedded in one selected frame of the video. This method increases the security of the system as the complete watermark cannot be extracted without knowing the positions of watermarked frames and the position of the block in that frame. Watermarking is performed in the Discrete Wavelet Transform domain after scaling of watermark data. To show the authenticity of proposed scheme various attacks are applied on different watermarked video frames and extracted watermark results are shown under different tables.

Big data refers to the massive amount of data from sundry sources (gregarious media, healthcare, different sensor, etc.) with very high velocity. Due to expeditious growth, the multimedia or image data has rapidly incremented due to the expansion of convivial networking, surveillance cameras, satellite images, and medical images. Healthcare is the most promising area where big data can be applied to make a vicissitude in human life. The process for analyzing the intricate data is mundanely concerned with the disclosing of hidden patterns. In healthcare fields capturing the visual context of any medical images, extraction is a well introduced word in digital image processing. The motive of this research is to present a detailed overview of big data in healthcare and processing of non-invasive medical images with the avail of feature extraction techniques such as region growing segmentation, GLCM, and discrete wavelet transform.

Abstract Nowadays, medical imaging and telemedicine are increasingly being utilized on a huge scale. The expanding interest in storing and sending medical images brings a lack of adequate memory spaces and transmission bandwidth. To resolve these issues, compression was introduced. The main aim of lossless image compression is to improve accuracy, reduce the bit rate, and improve the compression efficiency for the storage and transmission of medical images while maintaining an acceptable image quality for diagnosis purposes. In this paper, we propose lossless medical image compression using wavelet transform and encoding method. Basically, the proposed image compression system comprises three modules: (i) segmentation, (ii) image compression, and (iii) image decompression. First, the input medical image is segmented into region of interest (ROI) and non-ROI using a modified region growing algorithm. Subsequently, the ROI is compressed by discrete cosine transform and set partitioning in hierarchical tree encoding method, and the non-ROI is compressed by discrete wavelet transform and merging-based Huffman encoding method. Finally, the compressed image combination of the compressed ROI and non-ROI is obtained. Then, in the decompression stage, the original medical image is extracted using the reverse procedure. The experimentation was carried out using different medical images, and the proposed method obtained better results compared to different other methods.

In this research article, a novel algorithm is introduced to identify the noisy pixels in video frames and correct them to enhance video quality. The technique consists of three stages: fragmentation of the video sequences to respective 2D frames, noisy pixel identification in the 2D frames, and denoising the pixels to obtain original pixels. Due to the complexity in the background and the change in appearance of the body in motion, noise variation occurs. Various researchers discuss that in order to denoise the video sequences, spatio-temporal filtering is required which identifies noise and preserves the edges. In the first stage, the video sequences are analyzed for the removal of redundant frames. This is done by using the video fragmentation process in the MATLAB toolbox. In the next stage, color smoothing is applied to the target frames for processing the flat regions and identifying all the noisy pixels. In the final stage, an improvised multiresolution wavelet transform based anisotropic diffusion filtering is applied which enhances the denoising process in horizontal, vertical, and diagonal sub bands of the video frame signal. The proposed technique can remove the speckle noise and estimate the motion by preserving the minute details of the processed video frames.
