Image fusion has been performed and reported in this paper for multi-focused images using Frequency Partition Discrete Cosine Transform (FP-DCT) with Modified Principal component analysis (MPCA) technique. The image fusion with decomposition at fixed levels may be treated as a very critical rule in the earlier image processing techniques. The frequency partitioning approach was used in this study to select the decomposition levels based on the pixel intensity and clarity. This paper also presents the modified PCA technique which provides dimensionality reduction. The wide range of quality evaluation metrics was computed to compare the fusion performance on the five images. Different techniques such as PCA, wavelet transforms with PCA, Multiresolution Singular Value Decomposition (MSVD) with PCA, Multiresolution DCT (MRDCT) with PCA, Frequency partitioning DCT (FP-DCT) with PCA were computed for comparison with the proposed FP-DCT Modified PCA (MPCA) technique. Images obtained after fusion process obtained by the method proposed shows enhanced visual quality, negligible information loss and discontinuities in the image than compared to other state of the art methods.

<p class="0abstract">To solve the fusion problem of visible and infrared images, based on image fusion algorithm such as region fusion, wavelet transform, spatial frequency, Laplasse Pyramid and principal component analysis, the quality evaluation index of image fusion was defined. Then, curve-let transform was used to replace the wavelet change to express the superiority of the curve. It integrated the intensity channel and the infrared image, and then transformed it to the original space to get the fused color image. Finally, two groups of images at different time intervals were used to carry out experiments, and the images obtained after fusion were compared with the images obtained by the first five algorithms, and the quality was evaluated. The experiment showed that the image fusion algorithm based on curve-let transform had good performance, and it can well integrate the information of visible and infrared images. It is concluded that the image fusion algorithm based on curve-let change is a feasible multi-sensor image fusion algorithm based on multi-resolution analysis. </p>

This paper deals with subjective evaluation of audio-coding systems. From this evaluation, it is found that, depending on the type of signal and the algorithm of the audio-coding system, different types of audible errors arise. These errors are called coding artifacts. Although three kinds of artifacts are perceivable in the auditory domain, the author proposes that in the coding domain there is only one common cause for the appearance of the artifact, inefficient tracking of transient-stochastic signals. For this purpose, state-of-the art audio coding systems use a wide range of signal processing techniques, including application of the wavelet transform, which is described here.

Medical image fusion facilitates the retrieval of complementary information from medical images and has been employed diversely for computer-aided diagnosis of life threatening diseases. Fusion has been performed using various approaches such as Pyramidal, Multi-resolution, multi-scale etc. Each and every approach of fusion depicts only a particular feature (i.e. the information content or the structural properties of an image). Therefore, this paper presents a comparative analysis and evaluation of multi-modal medical image fusion methodologies employing wavelet as a multi-resolution approach and ridgelet as a multi-scale approach. The current work tends to highlight upon the utility of these approaches according to the requirement of features in the fused image. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) based fusion algorithm has been employed in both ridgelet and wavelet domains for purpose of minimisation of redundancies. Simulations have been performed for different sets of MR and CT-scan images taken from ‘The Whole Brain Atlas'. The performance evaluation has been carried out using different parameters of image quality evaluation like: Entropy (E), Fusion Factor (FF), Structural Similarity Index (SSIM) and Edge Strength (QFAB). The outcome of this analysis highlights the trade-off between the retrieval of information content and the morphological details in finally fused image in wavelet and ridgelet domains.

Image denoising, a fundamental step in image processing, has been widely studied for several decades. Denoising methods can be classified as internal or external depending on whether they exploit the internal prior or the external noisy-clean image priors to reconstruct a latent image. Typically, these two kinds of methods have their respective merits and demerits. Using a single denoising model to improve existing methods remains a challenge. In this paper, we propose a method for boosting the denoising effect via the image fusion strategy. This study aims to boost the performance of two typical denoising methods, the nonlocally centralized sparse representation (NCSR) and residual learning of deep CNN (DnCNN). These two methods have complementary strengths and can be chosen to represent internal and external denoising methods, respectively. The boosting process is formulated as an adaptive weight-based image fusion problem by preserving the details for the initial denoised images output by the NCSR and the DnCNN. Specifically, we design two kinds of weights to adaptively reflect the influence of the pixel intensity changes and the global gradient of the initial denoised images. A linear combination of these two kinds of weights determines the final weight. The initial denoised images are integrated into the fusion framework to achieve our denoising results. Extensive experiments show that the proposed method significantly outperforms the NCSR and the DnCNN both quantitatively and visually when they are considered as individual methods; similarly, it outperforms several other state-of-the-art denoising methods.

To solve the problem of high time and space complexity of traditional image fusion algorithms, this paper elaborates the framework of image fusion algorithm based on compressive sensing theory. A new image fusion algorithm based on improved K-singular value decomposition and Hadamard measurement matrix is proposed. This proposed algorithm only acts on a small amount of measurement data after compressive sensing sampling, which greatly reduces the number of pixels involved in the fusion and improves the time and space complexity of fusion. In the fusion experiments of full-color image with multispectral image, infrared image with visible light image, as well as multispectral image with full-color image, this proposed algorithm achieved good experimental results in the evaluation parameters of information entropy, standard deviation, average gradient, and mutual information.

Emotions detection in social media is very effective to measure the mood of people about a specific topic, news, or product. It has a wide range of applications, including identifying psychological conditions such as anxiety or depression in users. However, it is a challenging task to distinguish useful emotions’ features from a large corpus of text because emotions are subjective, with limited fuzzy boundaries that may be expressed in different terminologies and perceptions. To tackle this issue, this paper presents a hybrid approach of deep learning based on TensorFlow with Keras for emotions detection on a large scale of imbalanced tweets’ data. First, preprocessing steps are used to get useful features from raw tweets without noisy data. Second, the entropy weighting method is used to compute the importance of each feature. Third, class balancer is applied to balance each class. Fourth, Principal Component Analysis (PCA) is applied to transform high correlated features into normalized forms. Finally, the TensorFlow based deep learning with Keras algorithm is proposed to predict high-quality features for emotions classification. The proposed methodology is analyzed on a dataset of 1,600,000 tweets collected from the website ‘kaggle’. Comparison is made of the proposed approach with other state of the art techniques on different training ratios. It is proved that the proposed approach outperformed among other techniques.

Abstract In this paper the image fusion algorithm based on Contourlet transform and Pulse Coupled Neural Network (PCNN) was proposed to improve the performance of the image fusion in the detection accuracy of obstacles in forests. At the same time, the wavelet transform and the Principal Component Analysis (PCA) were simulated for comparison with the proposed algorithm. Then visible and infrared thermal images were collected in a forest. The experimental results have shown that the fused images using the method proposed provided a better understanding of the reality, enhanced images’ clarity and eliminated factors which provided shelters for targets.

A cross-comparison method was used to assess the SPOT-6 optical satellite imagery against Chinese GF-1 imagery using three types of indicators: spectral and color quality, fusion effect and identification potential. More specifically, spectral response function (SRF) curves were used to compare the two imagery, showing that the SRF curve shape of SPOT-6 is more like a rectangle compared to GF-1 in blue, green, red and near-infrared bands. NNDiffuse image fusion algorithm was used to evaluate the capability of information conservation in comparison with wavelet transform (WT) and principal component (PC) algorithms. The results show that NNDiffuse fused image has extremely similar entropy vales than original image (1.849 versus 1.852) and better color quality. In addition, the object-oriented classification toolset (ENVI EX) was used to identify greenlands for comparing the effect of self-fusion image of SPOT-6 and inter-fusion image between SPOT-6 and GF-1 based on the NNDiffuse algorithm. The overall accuracy is 97.27% and 76.88%, respectively, showing that self-fused image of SPOT-6 has better identification capability.
