scholarly journals Medical Image Authentication using Stationary Wavelet Transformation and Singular Value Decomposition

he proposed paper work is implemented using Stationary Wavelet Transformation (SWT) with Singular Value Decomposition (SVD).Even though, there are many other transformations, the Stationary Wavelet Transformation method is chosen for its shift invariance property. The designed method has three steps; the first step is the decomposing of the Medical image into sub-bands using SWT to find the value of sub band and as a second step is to apply SVD, third step will combine both the images with scaling factor. The experiments were conducted over gray scale of MRI and CT Medical images. The statistics of proposed method indicates that imperceptibility of Watermarked Medical images have a Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR) value of 50 DB for medical images. The robustness is ensured by having Correlation Coefficient (CC) of 1 for the retrieved watermark images. Security for the watermark is extended by encrypting the watermark with chaotic sequence.

In this article, a blind and robust medical image watermarking technique based on Finite Ridgelet Transform (FRT) and Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) is proposed. A host medical image is first transformed into 16 × 16 non-overlapping blocks and then ridgelet transform is applied on the individual blocks to obtain sets of ridgelet coefficients. SVD is then applied on these sets, to obtain the corresponding U, S and V matrix. The watermark information is embedded into the host medical image by modification of the value of the significant elements of U matrix. This proposed technique is tested on various types of medical images such as X-ray and CT scan. The simulation results revealed that this technique provides better imperceptibility, with an average PSNR being 42.95 dB for all test medical images. This technique also overcomes the limitation of the existing technique which is applicable on only the Region of Interest (ROI) of the medical image.

One way to prevent image duplication is by applying watermarking techniques. In this work, the watermarking process is applied to medical images using the Fast Discrete Curvelet Transforms (FDCuT), Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT), and Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) methods. The medical image of the host is transformed using FDCuT so that three subbands are obtained. High Frequency (HF) subband selected for DCT and SVD applications. Meanwhile, SVD was also applied to the watermark image. The singular value on the host image is exchanged with the singular value on the watermark. Insertion of tears by exchanging singular values does not cause the quality of medical images to decrease significantly. The experimental results prove that the proposed FDCuT-DCT-SVD algorithm produces good imperceptibility. The proposed algorithm is also resistant to various types of attacks, including JPEG compression, noise enhancement attacks, filtering attacks, and other common attacks.

Filtering noise to recreate a high-quality image in medical image processing is an important task. During acquisition, transmission, and retrieval from storage devices, generally images are getting corrupted. So, for further analysis images must get denoised. The noises can be categorised into different types based on their nature and origin. Researchers are still looking for the effective denoising technique. Wavelet Transform (WT) is an effective transform method for denoising. Similarly Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) is also an important tool for denoising. Combining WT with SVD results in further reduction of noise. This paper proposes use of WT along with SVD for medical image denoising. Performance of image denoising is evaluated on the basis of Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) and Peak Signal-Noise Ratio (PSNR). In the proposed approach, experimental results of WT-SVD combination gives better SNR and PSNR values than WT and SVD, if used independently.

Singular value decomposition and information theoretic criterion-based image enhancement is proposed for through-wall imaging. The scheme is capable of discriminating target, clutter, and noise subspaces. Information theoretic criterion is used with conventional singular value decomposition to find number of target singular values. Furthermore, wavelet transform-based denoising is performed (to further suppress noise signals) by estimating noise variance. Proposed scheme works also for extracting multiple targets in heavy cluttered through-wall images. Simulation results are compared on the basis of mean square error, peak signal to noise ratio, and visual inspection.

Singular value decomposition (SVD) is a coherency-based technique that provides both signal enhancement and noise suppression. It has been implemented in a variety of seismic applications — mostly on a global scale. In this paper, we use SVD to improve the signal-to-noise ratio of unstacked and stacked seismic sections, but apply it locally to cope with coherent events that vary with both time and offset. The local SVD technique is compared with [Formula: see text] deconvolution and median filtering on a set of synthetic and real-data sections. Local SVD is better than [Formula: see text] deconvolution and median filtering in removing background noise, but it performs less well in enhancing weak events or events with conflicting dips. Combining [Formula: see text] deconvolution or median filtering with local SVD overcomes the main weaknesses associated with each individual method and leads to the best results.

Polarization analysis can be achieved efficiently by treating a time window of a single‐station triaxial recording as a matrix and doing a singular value decomposition (SVD) of this seismic data matrix. SVD of the triaxial data matrix produces an eigenanalysis of the data covariance (cross‐energy) matrix and a rotation of the data onto the directions given by the eigenanalysis (Karhunen‐Loève transform), all in one step. SVD provides a complete principal components analysis of the data in the analysis time window. Selection of this time window is crucial to the success of the analysis and is governed by three considerations: the window should contain only one arrival; the window should be such that the signal‐to‐noise ratio is maximized; and the window should be long enough to be able to discriminate random noise from signal. The SVD analysis provides estimates of signal, signal polarization directions, and noise. An F‐test is proposed which gives the confidence level for the hypothesis of rectilinear polarization. This paper illustrates the analysis and interpretation of synthetic rectilinearly and elliptically polarized arrivals at a single triaxial station by SVD.

Magnetic resonance imaging radio frequency arrays are composed of multiple receive coils that have their signals combined to form an image. Combination requires an estimate of the radio frequency coil sensitivities to align signal phases and prevent destructive interference. At lower fields this can be accomplished using a uniform physical reference coil. However, at higher fields, uniform volume coils are lacking and, when available, suffer from regions of low receive sensitivity that result in poor sensitivity estimation and combination. Several approaches exist that do not require a physical reference coil but require manual intervention, specific prescans, or must be completed post-acquisition. This makes these methods impractical for large multi-volume datasets such as those collected for novel types of functional MRI or quantitative susceptibility mapping, where magnitude and phase are important. This pilot study proposes a fitted SVD method which utilizes existing combination methods to create a phase sensitive combination method targeted at large multi-volume datasets. This method uses any multi-image prescan to calculate the relative receive sensitivities using voxel-wise singular value decomposition. These relative sensitivities are fitted to the solid harmonics using an iterative least squares fitting algorithm. Fits of the relative sensitivities are used to align the phases of the receive coils and improve combination in subsequent acquisitions during the imaging session. This method is compared against existing approaches in the human brain at 7 Tesla by examining the combined data for the presence of singularities and changes in phase signal-to-noise ratio. Two additional applications of the method are also explored, using the fitted SVD method in an asymmetrical coil and in a case with subject motion. The fitted SVD method produces singularity-free images and recovers between 95–100% of the phase signal-to-noise ratio depending on the prescan data resolution. Using solid harmonic fitting to interpolate singular value decomposition derived receive sensitivities from existing prescans allows the fitted SVD method to be used on all acquisitions within a session without increasing exam duration. Our fitted SVD method is able to combine imaging datasets accurately without supervision during online reconstruction.

The article is devoted to the analysis of watermarking algorithms in terms of their use in marking medical images. The algorithms based on the Integer Wavelet Transform (IWT), Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT), and Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) were compared. The algorithms were implemented using the combinations: IWT, IWT-DCT, and IWT-SVD. As part of the research, the level of disturbances caused by embedding the watermark was checked using subjective and objective methods. The attack resistance of the watermarked images was tested and the steganographic capacity was measured. All algorithms are based on IWT, however, each has different advantages. The algorithm based on the IWT showed the highest capacity. The most resistant to attacks is IWT-SVD, and the lowest level of interference was obtained for the IWT-DCT algorithm.
