scholarly journals An Image Steganography Algorithm using Fractional Discrete Wavelet Transform with Advanced Encryption System

The research constitutes a distinctive technique of steganography of image. The procedure used for the study is Fractional Random Wavelet Transform (FRWT). The contrast between wavelet transform and the aforementioned FRWT is that it comprises of all the benefits and features of the wavelet transform but with additional highlights like randomness and partial fractional value put up into it. As a consequence of the fractional value and the randomness, the algorithm will give power and a rise in the surveillance layers for steganography. The stegano image will be acquired after administrating the algorithm which contains not only the coated image but also the concealed image. Despite the overlapping of two images, any diminution in the grade of the image is not perceived. Through this steganographic process, we endeavor for expansion in surveillance and magnitude as well. After running the algorithm, various variables like Mean Square Error (MSE) and Peak Signal to Noise ratio (PSNR) are deliberated. Through the intended algorithm, a rise in the power and imperceptibility is perceived and it can also support diverse modification such as scaling, translation and rotation with algorithms which previously prevailed. The irrefutable outcome demonstrated that the algorithm which is being suggested is indeed efficacious.

Compressed sensing (CS) has been applied to accelerate magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for many years. Due to the lack of translation invariance of the wavelet basis, undersampled MRI reconstruction based on discrete wavelet transform may result in serious artifacts. In this paper, we propose a CS-based reconstruction scheme, which combines complex double-density dual-tree discrete wavelet transform (CDDDT-DWT) with fast iterative shrinkage/soft thresholding algorithm (FISTA) to efficiently reduce such visual artifacts. The CDDDT-DWT has the characteristics of shift invariance, high degree, and a good directional selectivity. In addition, FISTA has an excellent convergence rate, and the design of FISTA is simple. Compared with conventional CS-based reconstruction methods, the experimental results demonstrate that this novel approach achieves higher peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR), larger signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), better structural similarity index (SSIM), and lower relative error.

This paper aims to use a new approach for fusion images by using a wavelet coefficient based on PSNR and SNR measure (the technical result) instead of using the max, min, average values, and so on in the previous methods. The wavelet coefficient of each sub band is compared between them, the sub band had a value higher of measure is selected for fusion. Firstly, a discrete wavelet transform has been applied to the medical images with 2level. Then, the peak signal to noise ratio and signal to noise ratio measures have been computed for each sub-band. After that PSNR and SNR values have been compared for each sub-band to opposite sub-band and it selected the better value of measures. Secondly, PSNR and SNR values have been gathered for each image. Then select the image that contains value higher PSNR and lower value of SNR for purpose fusion. Finally, perform an inverse discrete wavelet on the fused image to transform it from the frequency to the spatial domain. The results of the work showed that the wavelet coefficient is used to preserve the image details and removed the noise. PSNR value of 1level of dwt is higher than 2level. This paper makes the image more clearer and informative than the original images. </span></span>

For a long time, image enhancement techniques have been widely used to improve the image quality in many image processing applications. Recently, deep learning models have been applied to image enhancement problems with great success. In the domain of biometric, fingerprint and face play a vital role to authenticate a person in the right way. Hence, the enhancement of these images significantly improves the recognition rate. In this chapter, undecimated wavelet transform (UDWT) and deep autoencoder are hydridized to enhance the quality of images. Initially, the images are decomposed with Daubechies wavelet filter. Then, deep autoencoder is trained to minimize the error between reconstructed and actual input. The experiments have been conducted on real-time fingerprint and face images collected from 150 subjects, each with 10 orientations. The signal to noise ratio (SNR), peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR), mean square error (MSE), and root mean square error (RMSE) have been computed and compared. It was observed that the proposed model produced a biometric image with high quality.

Magnetotelluric (MT) sounding data can easily be damaged by various types of noise, especially in industrial areas, where the quality of measured data is poor. Most traditional de-noising methods are ineffective to the low signal-to-noise ratio of data. To solve the above problem, we propose the use of a de-noising method for the detection of noise in MT data based on discrete wavelet transform and singular value decomposition (SVD), with multiscale dispersion entropy and phase space reconstruction carried out for pretreatment. No “over processing” takes place in the proposed method. Compared with wavelet transform and SVD decomposition in synthetic tests, the proposed method removes the profile of noise more completely, including large-scale noise and impulse noise. For high levels or low levels of noise, the proposed method can increase the signal-to-noise ratio of data more obviously. Moreover, application to the field MT data can prove the performance of the proposed method. The proposed method is a feasible method for the elimination of various noise types and can improve MT data with high noise levels, obtaining a recovery in the response. It can improve abrupt points and distortion in MT response curves more effectively than the robust method can.

Accompanied with the increasing requirements of probing micro/nanoscopic structures of biological samples, a variety of image processing algorithms have been developed for visualization or to facilitate data analysis. However, it remains challenging to enhance both the signal-to-noise ratio and image resolution using a single algorithm. In this investigation, we propose an approach utilizing discrete wavelet transform (DWT) in combination with Lucy-Richardson (LR) deconvolution (DWDC). Our results demonstrate that the signal-to-noise ratio and resolution of live cell' s microtubule network are considerably improved, allowing recognition of features as small as 120 nm. Notably, the approach is independent of imaging system and shows robustness in processing fibrous structures, e.g. the cytoskeleton networks.

Perkembangan internet yang semakin pesat dan kemudahan akses informasi digital menjadi peluang terjadinya cybercrime. Teknik pengamanan diperlukan pada informasi yang akan dikirimkan melalui media transmisi baik wireless maupun wired. Melalui penerapan watermarking diharapkan informasi terjaga dari serangan, penyisipan, penghapusan data, dan penggantian data. Penelitian ini membahas perbandingan metode watermarking menggunakan Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) dan Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) pada citra berwarna. Means Square Error (MSE) dan Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR) merupakan parameter uji untuk mengukur rasio perbandingan citra asli dan citra watermarking. Hasil pengujian menunjukkan bahwa perbedaan jenis transformasi yang digunakan mempengaruhi nilai SNR citra RGB. Citra RGB dengan menggunakan DCT memiliki nilai SNR yang lebih tinggi dibandingkan dengan DWT yang ditunjukkan dengan nilai SNR citra Peppers 30 dB. Nilai koefisien yang diberikan pada citra yang disisipkan bervariasi mulai dari 5, 10, dan 50. Nilai ini mempengaruhi nilai SNR citra RGB dengan transformasi DCT. Along with the rapid development of the internet and the ease of access to digital information, cybercrime has a chance to occur. Security techniques are needed for information to be transmitted via transmission media, either wireless or wired. The application of watermarking has an opportunity to protect the information from attacks, insertion, deletion, and data replacement. This research discusses the comparison of watermarking methods using Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) and Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) on color images. Means Square Error (MSE) and Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR) are a method to test parameters for measure the original image's ratio to the watermark image. The test results showed that the different types of transformations affect the SNR value of the RGB image. RGB image using DCT has a higher SNR value than DWT, which is indicated by the SNR value of Peppers image 30 dB. The coefficient value given to the inserted image varies from 5, 10, and 50. This value affects the SNR value of RGB images with DCT transformation.

In ultrasonic testing it is very important to recognize the fault echoes buried in a noisy signal. The fault echo characterizes a flaw in the material. An important requirement on ultrasonic signal filtering is zero-time shift, because the position of ultrasonic echoes is essential. This requirement is accomplished using the discrete wavelet transform (DWT), which is used for reducing the signal-to-noise ratio. This paper evaluates the quality of filtering using the discrete wavelet transform. Additional computer simulations of the proposed algorithms are presented.


This paper aims in presenting a thorough comparison of performance and usefulness of multi-resolution based de-noising technique. Multi-resolution based image denoising techniques overcome the limitation of Fourier, spatial, as well as, purely frequency based techniques, as it provides the information of 2-Dimensional (2-D) signal at different levels and scales, which is desirable for image de-noising. The multiresolution based de-noising techniques, namely, Contourlet Transform (CT), Non Sub-sampled Contourlet Transform (NSCT), Stationary Wavelet Transform (SWT) and Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT), have been selected for the de-noising of camera images. Further, the performance of different denosing techniques have been compared in terms of different noise variances, thresholding techniques and by using well defined metrics, such as Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR) and Root Mean Square Error (RMSE). Analysis of result shows that shift-invariant NSCT technique outperforms the CT, SWT and DWT based de-noising techniques in terms of qualititaive and quantitative objective evaluation
