4. Wavelet Transform on Image4.1 Background

Signals in their raw form are time-amplitude

representation

Transformation These time-domain signals are oftenneeded to be transformed into other domains like

frequency domain

Transform of a signal is just another form ofrepresenting the signal

It does not change the information content present in the

signal10


11/62

Transformation of signals helps in identifying distinctinformation which might otherwise be hidden in the

original signal

Depending on the application the transformation

technique is chosen, and each technique has its own

advantages & disadvantages

Transform Types

1. FT (Fourier Transform) DFT, STFT & FFT2. DCT (Discrete Cosine Transform)

3. WT (Wavelet Transform) CWT, DWT

11


12/62

4.2 Why Wavelet Transform?

1. Fourier Transform (FT)

Frequency content of the signal is very important Most popular transform used to obtain the frequency

spectrum of a signal

Suitable for stationary signal signals whose frequencycontent does not change with time

Drawback tells how much of each frequency exists in

the signal, but it does not tell at which time these

frequency components occur

12


13/62

2. Short Time Fourier Transform (STFT) Signals image & speech have different characteristics

at different time or space

i.e. they are non-stationary To analyze these signals, both frequency & time

information are needed simultaneously

Hence STFT was introduced Input signal chopped into sections, & each is

analyzed for its frequency content separately

Drawbacks fixed window width

gives constant resolution at all frequencies

5. Algorithms5.1 EZW (Embedded Zero-tree Wavelet)

Introduced by J. M. Shapiro in 1993

1. Larger Wavelet coefficient contains more

information & therefore the EZW algorithm encodes thelarger wavelet coefficients first

2. Maximum & average absolute coefficient valuestend to get smaller as one move from the lower

frequency subbands to the higher frequency subbands

17


18/62

5.1.2 Zero Tree Structure Zero-tree structure is a tree in which the parent-object

has four child objects

zero-tree structure decreases from parent to child

Parent coefficients at coarse

scale

Children coefficients

corresponding to same spatial

location at the next finer scale of

similar orientation

18


19/62

Significant Test if a coefficient is found to be

insignificant with threshold tO then all the children willbe insignificant too & therefore branch will not contain

any important information

A whole tree could be encoded as a single symbol,

resulting in data reduction

Output produced by the EZW algorithm is progressive

in nature

Resolution as more data is added to the compression

process, the more detailed image will be reconstructed

E in EZW Progressive coding is also known as

Embedded coding

1. Positive (P) If the coefficient c is significant accordingto current threshold toand positive

2. Negative Significant (N) If the coefficient c is significant

according to current threshold toand negative

3. Isolated Zero (IZ) If the coefficient c is insignificant

according to current threshold to and one or more of its

descendants significant

4. Zero-tree root (ZT) If current coefficient c and all of its

descendants are insignificant (zero) according to current

threshold to

5.2 SPIHT (Set Partitioning In Hierarchical Trees)

24

5.2.1 Introduction

Introduced by Amir Said & William Pearlman in 1996

Produces an embedded bit stream from which the best

reconstructed images can be extracted Idea is based on partitioning of sets, which consists of

coefficients or representatives of whole sub-trees

Root of the tree is excluded from the computation ofthe significance attribute

Classify the coefficients of a wavelet transformed

image into the three different sets: i.e. LIP, LIS, LSP


25/62

1. List of Insignificant Pixels (LIP) which contains thecoordinates of those coefficients which are insignificant

with respect to the current threshold

2. List of Significant Pixels (LSP) which contains thecoordinates of those coefficients which are significant

with respect to threshold

3. List of Insignificant Sets (LIS) which contains thecoordinates of the roots of insignificant subtrees

Sets of coefficients in LIS are refined and if coefficientsbecome significant they are moved from LIP to LSP,

During the compression procedure

25


26/62

Difference to EZW, is the definition of the significance

A significance function Sn(t) which decides the

significance of the set of coordinates with respect to the

threshold 2n

Sn(T) = 1 , if max (i,j)T{|Ci,j|}>2n

0 , elseNotations

H Roots of the all spatial orientation trees

O(i, j) Set of offspring of the coefficient (i, j) D(i, j) Set of all descendants of the coefficient (i, j)

L(i, j) D(i, j) - O(i, j)

26


27/62

27

5.2.2 Parent-Child Relationship in SPIHT

Significance is computed for the sets D(i, j) and L(i, j)


28/62

28

SPIHT Algorithm

1.Initialization

Compute initial thresholdLIP: all root nodes (in low pass subband)

LIS: all trees (type D)

LSP: empty

2.Sorting Passa) Check significance of all coefficients in LIP

If significant, output 1 followed by a sign bit &move it to LSP If insignificant, output 0


29/62

29

b) Check significance of all trees in LIS

For type-D tree If significant, output 1 & proceed to code its children If a child is significant, output 1, sign bit, & add it to LSP If a child is insignificant, output 0 and add it to the end of

LIP If the child has descendants, move the tree to the end of

LIS as type L, otherwise remove it from LIS If insignificant, output 0

For type-L tree If significant, output 1, add each of the children to the end

of LIS as type D and remove the parent tree from LIS If insignificant, output 0

3. Refinement pass, like EZW Decrease the threshold by a factor of 2 Go to Step 2.

5.3 SPECK (Set Partitioning Embedded BloCK)

Different from others in that it does not use trees,

which span and exploit the similarity across different

subbands

it makes use of sets or groups of pixels-called blocks

Main idea is to exploit the clustering of energy infrequency & space in hierarchical structures of the

transformed images

Significance testing on sets determines whether themaximum magnitude in it is above a certain threshold

Results of these tests determines the path taken by the

coder to code the source samples

30


31/62

5.3.1 SPECK coding

Image X is represented by an indexed set of

transformed coefficients C{i, j} located at pixel position (i,

j)

Pixels are grouped together in sets, which comprise of

regions in the transformed image

Followed by the ideas of SPIHT completes the SPECK

algorithm

Condition a set T of pixels is significant with respect to

threshold n, if

max (i,j)T{|Ci,j|}>2n

Otherwise it is insignificant

31


32/62

5.3.2 Partitioning of Image X

SPECK algorithm makes use of rectangular regions ofimage

Regions or sets therefore referred to as sets of type S,

can be of varying dimensions

Dimension of a set S depends on the dimension of the

original image & the subband level of the pyramidal

structure at which the set lies

32


33/62

We maintain two lists:

LIS List of Insignificant Sets

LSP List of Significant Pixels

The LIS contains sets of type S of varying sizes whichhave not yet been found significant against threshold n

SPECK Algorithm The actual algorithm consists;

1. Initialization step

2. Sorting Pass3. Refinement Pass

4. Quantization step

8. Conclusions & Future Work

8.1 Conclusions

Results show that these algorithms are successfullyimplemented

Implementation creates a single file of coded bitstream

As more no. bits are added to the right side of the

bitstream more fine details/resolution we get

Hence the problem ofembeddedness & scalability in a

image compression CODEC as stated in the problem

definition are completely eliminated

57


58/62

It can be used in future image compression systems

2D-DWT core shows a very good performance

From the satisfactory simulation and synthesized

results we can conclude that 2D-DWT core worksproperly

Goal of project work is satisfied
