| Research Abstract |
To provide foundations to techniques for dealing high definition and high resolution images, we conducted researches on wavelet transforms and its applications to image coding and processing.
1. Image Coding by using Wavelet Transform : We designed a novel biorthogonal wavelet transform, for efficient image coding, which has linear phase property and satisfies perfect reconstruction condition. We derived optimal bit-allocation through precise analysis of quantization errors. The proposed image coding scheme with the designed filter outperforms conventional subband coding methods.
2. Adaptive Edge Detection by using Wavelet Transform : In order to stably extract various edge features of images, we proposed a edge detection method based on wavelet transform. The method changes a parameter by estimated fractal dimension.
3. Image Reconstruction from Zero Crossing Representation : We investigated image reconstruction from zero-crossing representation obtained by wavelet transform. Our zero-crossing representation makes use of maximum points in addition to the zero-crossing points. We derived an iterative method that stably reconstructs original image from its zero-crossing representation, and also found a condition for filters to be robust to reconstruction errors.
4. Image Sequence Processing by using Wavelet Transform : We investigated segmentation of image sequences by using wavelet transform and applied the segmentation scheme to motion compensated interpolation.
