This paper is aimed at improving the performance of the word recognition system (WRS) of handwritten Arabic text by extracting features in the frequency domain using the Stationary Wavelet Transform (SWT) method using machine learning, which is a wavelet transform approach created to compensate for the absence of translation invariance in the  Discrete Wavelets Transform (DWT) method. The proposed SWT-WRS of Arabic handwritten text consists of three main processes: word normalization, feature extraction based on SWT, and recognition. The proposed SWT-WRS based on the SWT method is evaluated on the IFN/ENIT database applying the Gaussian, linear, and polynomial support vector machine, the k-nearest neighbors, and ANN classifiers. ANN performance was assessed by applying the Bayesian Regularization (BR) and Levenberg-Marquardt (LM) training methods. Numerous wavelet transform (WT) families are applied, and the results prove that level 19 of the Daubechies family is the best WT family for the proposed SWT-WRS. The results also confirm the effectiveness of the proposed SWT-WRS in improving the performance of handwritten Arabic word recognition using machine learning. Therefore, the suggested SWT-WRS overcomes the lack of translation invariance in the DWT method by eliminating the up-and-down samplers from the proposed machine learning method.

Abstract: Medical image fusion is the technique of integrating two or more images from various imaging modalities/scans to get a fused image with information having the details of anatomical information combined from all the modalities for accurate diagnosis and further treatment. This paper performs the analysis of various wavelet functions for decomposition and synthesis. PET (Positron Emission Tomography) and MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) scans of Brain and chest are used and compared using Stationary Wavelet Transform (SWT) and Discrete wavelet Transform (DWT). Entropy is calculated which is a measure of information acquired after the fusion process. Keywords: Wavelet transform, Fusion, Stationary Wavelet Transform, Discrete, Medical image

Underwater acoustic images are captured by sonar technology which uses sound as a source. The noise in the acoustic images may occur only during acquisition. These noises may be multiplicative in nature and cause serious effects on the images affecting their visual quality. Generally image denoising techniques that remove the noise from the images can use linear and non-linear filters. In this paper, wavelet based denoising method is used to reduce the noise from the images. The image is decomposed using Stationary Wavelet Transform (SWT) into low and high frequency components. The various shrinkage functions such as Visushrink and Sureshrink are used for selecting the threshold to remove the undesirable signals in the low frequency component. The high frequency components such as edges and corners are retained. Then the inverse SWT is used for reconstruction of denoised image by combining the modified low frequency components with the high frequency components. The performance measure Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR) is obtained for various wavelets such as Haar, Daubechies,Coiflet and by changing the thresholding methods.

Abstract Artificial intelligence (AI) technology-enhanced air quality forecasting is one of the most promising directions in the field of smart environment development. Despite recent advances in this area, two difficulties remain unsolved. First, multiple factors influence forecasting results, such as weather conditions, fuel usage and traffic conditions. These factors are usually unavailable in air quality sensor data. Second, traditional predicting models typically use the most recent training data, which neglects the historical data. In this study, we propose a hybrid deep learning model that embraces the merits of the stationary wavelet transform (SWT) and the nested long short term memory networks (NLSTM) to improve the prediction quality in the problem of hour-ahead air quality forecasting. The proposed method decomposes the original PM2.5 data into several more stationary sub-signals with different resolutions using an extended SWT algorithm. A framework that leverages several NLSTM recurrent neural networks is constructed to output forecasting results for different sub-signals, respectively. The final forecasting result is obtained by combining all sub-signal forecasting results using the inverse wavelet transform. Experiments on real-world data show that, accuracy-wise, our proposed method outperforms most of the existing prediction models in the literature. And the resulting forecasting curves of the proposed method are much closer to the real values without any lags, comparing with existing prediction models.
