On Composition Ideals of Multilinear Mappings and Homogeneous Polynomials
2007
Given an operator ideal I, we study the multi-ideal I ο L and the polynomial ideal I ο P). The connection with the linearizations of these mappings on projective symmetric tensor products is investigated in detail. Applications to the ideals of strictly singular and absolutely summing linear operators are obtained.
Tree automata, tree decomposition and hyperedge replacement
2005
Recent results concerning efficient solvability of graph problems on graphs with bounded tree-width and decidability of graph properties for hyperedge-replacement graph grammars are systematised by showing how they can be derived from recognisability of corresponding tree classes by finite tree automata, using only well-known techniques from tree-automata theory.
Superposition in Classes of Ultradifferentiable Functions
2006
We present a complete characterization of the classes of ultradifferentiable functions that are holomorphically closed. Moreover, we show that any class holomorphically closed is also closed under composition (now without restrictions on the number of variables). In this case, we also discuss continuity and differentiability properties of the non-linear superposition operator g → f ◦ g.
Regression Wavelet Analysis for Lossless Coding of Remote-Sensing Data
2016
A novel wavelet-based scheme to increase coefficient independence in hyperspectral images is introduced for lossless coding. The proposed regression wavelet analysis (RWA) uses multivariate regression to exploit the relationships among wavelet-transformed components. It builds on our previous nonlinear schemes that estimate each coefficient from neighbor coefficients. Specifically, RWA performs a pyramidal estimation in the wavelet domain, thus reducing the statistical relations in the residuals and the energy of the representation compared to existing wavelet-based schemes. We propose three regression models to address the issues concerning estimation accuracy, component scalability, and c…
Data Compression Using Wavelet and Local Cosine Transforms
2015
The chapter describes an algorithm that compresses two-dimensional data arrays, which are piece-wise smooth in one direction and have oscillating events in the other direction. Seismic, hyper-spectral and fingerprints data, for example, have such a mixed structure. The transform part of the compression process is an algorithm that combines wavelet and local cosine transform (LCT). The quantization and the entropy coding parts of the compression are taken from the SPIHT codec. To efficiently apply the SPIHT codec to a mixed coefficients array, reordering of the LCT coefficients takes place. On the data arrays, which have the mixed structure, this algorithm outperforms other algorithms that a…
NIR and Visible Image Fusion for Improving Face Recognition at Long Distance
2014
Face recognition performance achieves high accuracy in close proximity. However, great challenges still exist in recognizing human face at long distance. In fact, the rapidly increasing need for long range surveillance requires a passage from close-up distances to long distances which affects strongly the human face image quality and causes degradation in recognition accuracy. To address this problem, we propose in this paper, a multispectral pixel level fusion approach to improve the performance of automatic face recognition at long distance. The main objective of the proposed approach is to formulate a method to enhance the face image quality as well as the face recognition rate. First, v…
Fractional wavelet transform
1997
The wavelet transform, which has had a growing importance in signal and image processing, has been generalized by association with both the wavelet transform and the fractional Fourier transform. Possible implementations of the new transformation are in image compression, image transmission, transient signal processing, etc. Computer simulations demonstrate the abilities of the novel transform. Optical implementation of this transform is briefly discussed.
Pattern recognition using sequential matched filtering of wavelet coefficients
1997
Abstract A bank of wavelets is used for pattern recognition by means of sequential filtering. Each element of the bank is matched to a different wavelet coefficient of the target. A sequential process leads to a set of correlation outputs. Post-processing by means of a fast blending method provides the final output correlation. Both computer simulations and optical experiments are presented, showing the discrimination capability for this implementation.
Regularization of optical flow with M-band wavelet transform
2003
The optical flow is an important tool for problems arising in the analysis of image sequences. Flow fields generated by various existing solving techniques are often noisy and partially incorrect, especially near occlusions or motion boundaries. Therefore, the additional information on the scene gained from a sequence of images is usually worse. In this paper, discrete wavelet transform has been adopted in order to enhance the reliability of optical flow estimation. A generalization of the well-known dyadic orthonormal wavelets to the case of the dilation scale factor M > 2 with N vanishing moments has been used, and it has proved to be a useful regularizing tool. The advantages in the comp…
A Mellin transform approach to wavelet analysis
2015
The paper proposes a fractional calculus approach to continuous wavelet analysis. Upon introducing a Mellin transform expression of the mother wavelet, it is shown that the wavelet transform of an arbitrary function f(t) can be given a fractional representation involving a suitable number of Riesz integrals of f(t), and corresponding fractional moments of the mother wavelet. This result serves as a basis for an original approach to wavelet analysis of linear systems under arbitrary excitations. In particular, using the proposed fractional representation for the wavelet transform of the excitation, it is found that the wavelet transform of the response can readily be computed by a Mellin tra…
