In this paper, a two-dimensional (2-D) circular-support wavelet transform (2-D CSWT) is presented. 2-D CSWT is a new geometrical image transform, which can efficiently represent images using 2-D circular spectral split schemes (circularly- decomposed frequency subspaces). 2-D all-pass functions and lattice structure are used to produce 1-level circular symmetric 2-D discrete wavelet transform with approximate linear phase 2-D filters. The classical one-dimensional (1-D) analysis Haar filter bank branches H 0 (z) and H 1 (z) which work as low-pass and high-pass filters, respectively are transformed into their 2-D counterparts H 0 (z 1 ,z 2 ) and H 1 (z 1 ,z 2 ) by applying a circular-support version of the digital spectral transformation (DST). The designed 2-D wavelet filter bank is realized in a separable architecture. The proposed architecture is simulated using Matlab program to measure the deflection ratio (DR) of the high frequency coefficient to evaluate its performance and compare it with the performance of the classical 2-D wavelet architecture. The correlation factor between the input and reconstructed images is also calculated for both architectures. The FPGA (Spartan-3E) Kit is used to implement the resulting architecture in a multiplier-less manner and to calculate the die area and the critical path or maximum frequency of operation. The achieved multiplier-less implementation takes a very small area from FPGA Kit (the die area in 3-level wavelet decomposition takes 300 slices with 7% occupation ratio only at a maximum frequency of 198.447 MHz).
Arc problems are most commonly caused by electrical difficulties such as worn cables and improper connections. Electrical fires are caused by arc faults, which generate tremendous temperatures and discharge molten metal. Every year, flames of this nature inflict a great lot of devastation and loss. A novel approach for identifying residential series and parallel arc faults is presented in this study. To begin, arc faults in series and parallel are simulated using a suitable simulation arc model. The fault characteristics are then recovered using a signal processing technique based on the fault detection technique called Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT), which is built in MATLAB/Simulink. Then came db2, and one level was discovered for obtaining arc-fault features. The suitable mother and level of wavelet transform should be used, and try to compare results with conventional methods (FFT-Fast Fourier Transform). MATLAB was used to build and simulate arc-fault models with these techniques.
Data hiding, a form of steganography, embeds data into digital media for the purpose of identification, annotation, security, and copyright. The goal of steganography is to avoid drawing suspicion to the transmission of a hidden message. Digital audio provides a suitable cover for high-throughput steganography. In this paper a high robustness system against the attackers in hiding of color images is presented. We used the multi-resolution discrete wavelet transform in hiding process. The JPEG format type for color images and WAV format for speech cover signal that used in test of system. Programs and graphics are executed by using MATLAB version 6.5 programs.
This work presents aneural and fuzzy based ECG signal recognition system based on wavelet transform. The suitable coefficients that can be used as a feature for each fuzzy network or neural network is found using a proposed best basis technique. Using the proposed best bases reduces the dimension of the input vector and hence reduces the complexity of the classifier. The fuzzy network and the neural network parameters are learned using back propagation algorithm.

The aim of the paper is to present a method for symbolic analysis that depends on the use of the wavelet transform (WT) as a tool to accelerate the solution of the problem as compared with the numerical interpolation method that is based on the use of the fast Fourier transform (FFT).
Electrical issues such as old wires and faulty connections are the most common causes of arc faults. Arc faults cause electrical fires by generating high temperatures and discharging molten metal. Every year, such fires cause a considerable deal of destruction and loss. This paper proposes a new method for detecting residential series and parallel arc faults. A simulation model for the arc is employed to simulate the arc faults in series and parallel circuits. The fault features are then retrieved using a signal processing approach called Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) designed in MATLAB/Simulink based on the fault detection algorithm. Then db2 and one level were found appropriate mother and level of wavelet transform for extracting arc-fault features. MATLAB Simulink was used to build and simulate the arc-fault model.

The ability of the human brain to communicate with its environment has become a reality through the use of a Brain-Computer Interface (BCI)-based mechanism. Electroencephalography (EEG) has gained popularity as a non-invasive way of brain connection. Traditionally, the devices were used in clinical settings to detect various brain diseases. However, as technology advances, companies such as Emotiv and NeuroSky are developing low-cost, easily portable EEG-based consumer-grade devices that can be used in various application domains such as gaming, education. This article discusses the parts in which the EEG has been applied and how it has proven beneficial for those with severe motor disorders, rehabilitation, and as a form of communicating with the outside world. This article examines the use of the SVM, k-NN, and decision tree algorithms to classify EEG signals. To minimize the complexity of the data, maximum overlap discrete wavelet transform (MODWT) is used to extract EEG features. The mean inside each window sample is calculated using the Sliding Window Technique. The vector machine (SVM), k-Nearest Neighbor, and optimize decision tree load the feature vectors.
Wavelet-based algorithms are increasingly used in the source coding of remote sensing, satellite and other geospatial imagery. At the same time, wavelet-based coding applications are also increased in robust communication and network transmission of images. Although wireless multimedia sensors are widely used to deliver multimedia content due to the availability of inexpensive CMOS cameras, their computational and memory resources are still typically very limited. It is known that allowing a low-cost camera sensor node with limited RAM size to perform a multi-level wavelet transform, will in return limit the size of the acquired image. Recently, fractional wavelet filter technique became an interesting solution to reduce communication energy and wireless bandwidth, for resource-constrained devices (e.g. digital cameras). The reduction in the required memory in these fractional wavelet transforms is achieved at the expense of the image quality. In this paper, an adaptive fractional artifacts reduction approach is proposed for efficient filtering operations according to the desired compromise between the effectiveness of artifact reduction and algorithm simplicity using some local image features to reduce boundaries artifacts caused by fractional wavelet. Applying such technique on different types of images with different sizes using CDF 9/7 wavelet filters results in a good performance.
Microgrids (ℳ-grids) can be thought of as a small-scale electrical network comprised of a mix of Distributed Generation (DG) resources, storage devices, and a variety of load species. It provides communities with a stable, secure, and renewable energy supply in either off-grid (grid-forming) or on-grid (grid-following) mode. In this work, a control strategy of coordinated power management for a Low Voltage (LV) ℳ-grid with integration of solar Photovoltaic (PV), Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) and three phase loads operated autonomously or connected to the utility grid has been created and analyzed in the Matlab Simulink environment. The main goal expressed here is to achieve the following points: (i) grid following, grid forming modes, and resynchronization mode between them, (ii) Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) from solar PV using fuzzy logic technique, and active power regulator based boost converter using a Proportional Integral (PI) controller is activated when a curtailment operation is required, (iii) ℳ-grid imbalance compensation (negative sequence) due to large single-phase load is activated, and (iv) detection and diagnosis the fault types using Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT). Under the influence of irradiance fluctuation on solar plant, the proposed control technique demonstrates how the adopted system works in grid- following mode (PQ control), grid- formation, and grid resynchronization to seamlessly connect the ℳ-grid with the main distribution system. In this system, a power curtailment management system is introduced in the event of a significant reduction in load, allowing the control strategy to be switched from MPPT to PQ control, permitting the BESS to absorb excess power. Also, in grid-following mode, the BESS's imbalance compensation mechanism helps to reduce the negative sequence voltage that occurs at the Point of Common Coupling (PCC) bus as a result of an imbalance in the grid's power supply. In addition to the features described above, this system made use of DWT to detect and diagnose various fault conditions.
According to the characteristic of HVS (Human Visual System) and the association memory ability of neural network, an adaptive image watermarking algorithm based on neural network is proposed invisible image watermarking is secret embedding scheme for hiding of secret image into cover image file and the purpose of invisible watermarking is copyrights protection. Wavelet transformation-based image watermarking techniques provide better robustness for statistical attacks in comparison to Discrete Cosine Transform domain-based image watermarking. The joined method of IWT (Integer Wavelet Transform) and DCT (Discrete Cosine Transform) gives benefits of the two procedures. The IWT have impediment of portion misfortune in embedding which increments mean square estimate as SIM and results diminishing PSNR. The capacity of drawing in is improved by pretreatment and re-treatment of image scrambling and Hopfield neural network. The proposed algorithm presents hybrid integer wavelet transform and discrete cosine transform based watermarking technique to obtain increased imperceptibility and robustness compared to IWT-DCT based watermarking technique. The proposed watermarking technique reduces the fractional loss compared to DWT based watermarking.
In this paper, image deblurring and denoising are presented. The used images were blurred either with Gaussian or motion blur and corrupted either by Gaussian noise or by salt & pepper noise. In our algorithm, the modified fixed-phase iterative algorithm (MFPIA) is used to reduce the blur. Then a discrete wavelet transform is used to divide the image into two parts. The first part represents the approximation coefficients. While the second part represents the detail coefficients, that a noise is removed by using the BayesShrink wavelet thresholding method.
The use of image communication has increased in recent years. In this paper, new partial encryption schemes are used to encrypt only part of the compressed data. Only 6.25-25% of the original data is encrypted for four different images, resulting in a significant reduction in encryption and decryption time. In the compression step, an advanced clustering analysis technique (Fuzzy C-means (FCM)) is used. In the encryption step, the permutation cipher is used. The effect of number of different clusters is studied. The proposed partial encryption schemes are fast and secure, and do not reduce the compression performance of the underlying selected compression methods as shown in experimental results and conclusion.
The brain tumors are among the common deadly illness that requires early, reliable detection techniques, current identification, and imaging methods that depend on the decisions of neuro-specialists and radiologists who can make possible human error. This takes time to manually identify a brain tumor. This work aims to design an intelligent model capable of diagnosing and predicting the severity of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) brain tumors to make an accurate decision. The main contribution is achieved by adopting a new multiclass classifier approach based on a collected real database with new proposed features that reflect the precise situation of the disease. In this work, two artificial neural networks (ANNs) methods namely, Feed Forward Back Propagation neural network (FFBPNN) and support vector machine (SVM), used to expectations the level of brain tumors. The results show that the prediction result by the (FFBPN) network will be better than the other method in time record to reach an automatic classification with classification accuracy was 97% for 3-class which is considered excellent accuracy. The software simulation and results of this work have been implemented via MATLAB (R2012b).
In this paper a radial distribution feeder protection scheme against short circuit faults is introduced. It is based on utilizing the substation measured current signals in detecting faults and obtaining useful information about their types and locations. In order to facilitate important measurement signals features extraction such that better diagnosis of faults can be achieved, the discrete wavelet transform is exploited. The captured features are then utilized in detecting, identifying the faulted phases (fault type), and fault location. In case of a fault occurrence, the detection scheme will make a decision to trip out a circuit breaker residing at the feeder mains. This decision is made based on a criteria that is set to distinguish between the various system states in a reliable and accurate manner. After that, the fault type and location are predicted making use of the cascade forward neural networks learning and generalization capabilities. Useful information about the fault location can be obtained provided that the fault distance from source, as well as whether it resides on the main feeder or on one of the laterals can be predicted. By testing the functionality of the proposed scheme, it is found that the detection of faults is done fastly and reliably from the view point of power system protection relaying requirements. It also proves to overcome the complexities provided by the feeder structure to the accuracy of the identification process of fault types and locations. All the simulations and analysis are performed utilizing MATLAB R2016b version software package.
