Skin cancer is one of the most cancers occurring in the world. Malignant melanoma is the most skin cancer type causing death around the world. Melanoma could be treated 100% if they are detected at earlier stages. In this paper, various melanoma detection systems were reviewed according to the year of publishing. All reviewed papers were based on feature extraction methods using wavelet transform (WT) in its two versions: Discrete wavelet transform (DWT), and wavelet packet transform (WPT) for melanoma recognition. Our methodology that was based on the WPT feature extraction and probabilistic neural network (PNN) was used for comparison. The ISIC database was used for differentiating between malignant (1110 images) and benign (1110 image) tumors. A (75% training /25% testing) verification system was applied. Many experiments were conducted using different parameters for each experiment. The support vector machine classifier (SVM) was the most common classifier combined with various types of wavelet features that have appeared in many kinds of literature during the last two decades, which achieved relatively the best accuracy ranged between [76% - 98.29%]. In this paper, our combination method of the WPT and entropy was proposed and evaluated. Several experiments were conducted for testing. A comparison manner was used for discussion of the investigation. The proposed method was an excellent detection method for melanoma regarding the complexity, where no preprocessing stage was conducted.

The monitoring of power quality (PQ) disturbances in a systematic and automated way is an important issue to prevent detrimental effects on power system. The development of new methods for the automatic recognition of single and hybrid PQ disturbances is at present a major concern. This paper presents a combined approach of wavelet transform based support vector machine (WT-SVM) for the automatic classification of single and hybrid PQ disturbances. The proposed approach is applied by using synthetic models of various single and hybrid PQ signals. The suitable features of the PQ waveforms were first extracted by using discrete wavelet transform. Then SVM classifies the type of PQ disturbances based on these features. The classification performance of the proposed algorithm is also compared with wavelet based radial basis function neural network, probabilistic neural network and feed-forward neural network. The experimental results show that the recognition rate of the proposed WT-SVM based classification system is more accurate and much better than the other classifiers.

Abstract—This paper present about recognition of gamelan rindik pattern using wavelet transform. Wavelet transform is used to find the special characteristic of gamelan rindik, which had previously been recorded and stored in computer with format *.wav. The data was subsequently used as training and tested data, Probabilistic Neural Network (PNN) was used to recognize gamelan rindik pattern using. The training and tasted data process used four different rindics, consisting 0f 240 gamelan rindik data. Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) was used as the method of feature extraction, with Symlet, Haar, and Daubechies Wavelet function. Those three functions of the wavelet  shows the average accuracy level for Symlet 94.58%, Haar 93.33%, and wavelet Daubechies 94.58%.

This chapter gives an effective and efficient technique that can detect epilepsy in real time. It is low cost, low power, and real-time devices that can easily detect epilepsy. Along with EEG device, one can upgrade with GSM module to alert the doctors and parents of patients about its occurrence to prevent a sudden fall, which may cause injury and death. The accuracy of this EEG device depends on the quality of feature extraction technique and classification algorithm. In this chapter, support vector machine (SVM) is used as a classifier. Wavelet transform gives feature extraction, which helps to train data and to detect normal or seizure patients. Discrete wavelet transform (DWT) decomposes the signals into three decomposition levels. In this detection, mean, median, and non-linear parameter entropy were calculated for every sub-band as key parameters. The extracted features are then applied to SVM classifier for the classification. Better accuracy of classification is obtained using wavelet and SVM classifier.

Any cancer type is one of the leading death causes around the world. Skin cancer is a condition where malignant cells are formed in the tissues of the skin, such as melanoma, known as the most aggressive and deadly skin cancer type. The mortality rates of melanoma are associated with its high potential for metastasis in later stages, spreading to other body sites such as the lungs, bones, or the brain. Thus, early detection and diagnosis are closely related to survival rates. Computer Aided Design (CAD) systems carry out a pre-diagnosis of a skin lesion based on clinical criteria or global patterns associated with its structure. A CAD system is essentially composed by three modules: (i) lesion segmentation, (ii) feature extraction, and (iii) classification. In this work, a methodology is proposed for a CAD system development that detects global patterns using texture descriptors based on statistical measurements that allow melanoma detection from dermoscopic images. Image analysis was carried out using spatial domain methods, statistical measurements were used for feature extraction, and a classifier based on cellular automata (ACA) was used for classification. The proposed model was applied to dermoscopic images obtained from the PH2 database, and it was compared with other models using accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity as metrics. With the proposed model, values of 0.978, 0.944, and 0.987 of accuracy, sensitivity and specificity, respectively, were obtained. The results of the evaluated metrics show that the proposed method is more effective than other state-of-the-art methods for melanoma detection in dermoscopic images.

A new methodology for automatic feature extraction from biomedical images and subsequent classification is presented. The approach exploits the spatial orientation of high-frequency textural features of the processed image as determined by a two-step process. First, the two-dimensional discrete wavelet transform (DWT) is applied to obtain the HH high-frequency subband image. Then, a Gabor filter bank is applied to the latter at different frequencies and spatial orientations to obtain new Gabor-filtered image whose entropy and uniformity are computed. Finally, the obtained statistics are fed to a support vector machine (SVM) binary classifier. The approach was validated on mammograms, retina, and brain magnetic resonance (MR) images. The obtained classification accuracies show better performance in comparison to common approaches that use only the DWT or Gabor filter banks for feature extraction.

This paper investigates the use of the discrete wavelet transform (DWT) and Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) to improve the quality of extracted features for machine learning. The case study in this paper is detecting the health state of the ballscrew of a gantry type machine tool. For the implementation of the algorithm for feature extraction, wavelet is first applied to the data, followed by FFT and then useful features are extracted from the resultant signal. The extracted features were then used in various machine learning algorithms like decision tree, K-nearest neighbour (KNN) and support vector machine (SVM) for binary classification of the ballscrew state. The result shows significant improvement in the classification accuracy after the wavelet transform and FFT has been performed on the data.
