Use of Contourlets for Image Retrieval [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
We propose a simple technique for content-based image retrieval (CBIR) using contourlets that possess not only the multi-resolution time frequency localization properties of wavelets but are also good at capturing the directional information. Statistical features extracted from contourlet coefficients on each subband of the decomposed image, capturing ...

A Contourlet-Based Image Denoising Technique with Coefficient Threshold Level Estimation

open access: yesTikrit Journal of Engineering Sciences, 2013
In this paper, a new image denoising technique is proposed based on contourlet transform. Many random images are generated simulating the standard deviation level of the original noisy image and the contourlet threshold level is then calculated based on ...

Blocking Contourlet Transform:An Improvement of Contourlet Transformand Its Application to Image Retrieval

open access: yesJournal of Computers, 2012
Contourlet transform is an effective solution to solve two or more dimensional singularity and has good direction and anisotropy. Against the shortage of ability of describing the spatial distribution characteristic of object’s edge information, this paper proposed a new image retrieval algorithm based on Contourlet transform, which blocks the indexed ...

Nonparametric Denoising Methods Based on Contourlet Transform with Sharp Frequency Localization: Application to Low Exposure Time Electron Microscopy Images

open access: yesEntropy, 2015
Image denoising is a very important step in cryo-transmission electron microscopy (cryo-TEM) and the energy filtering TEM images before the 3D tomography reconstruction, as it addresses the problem of high noise in these images, that leads to a loss of ...

Comparison of Contourlet and Time-Invariant Contourlet Transform Performance for Different Types of Noises

open access: yesBalkan Journal of Electrical and Computer Engineering, 2019
A noiseless image is desirable for many applications. However, this is not possible. Generally, wavelet-based methods are used to noise reduction. However, due to insufficient performance of wavelet transforms (WT) on images, different multi-resolution analysis methods have been proposed.

Contourlets: a directional multiresolution image representation

open access: yesProceedings. International Conference on Image Processing, 2003
We propose a new scheme, named contourlet, that provides a flexible multiresolution, local and directional image expansion. The contourlet transform is realized efficiently via a double iterated filter bank structure. Furthermore, it can be designed to satisfy the anisotropy scaling relation for curves, and thus offers a fast and structured curvelet ...

Image Fusion Algorithm Combining V-transform with Contourlet Transform [PDF]

open access: yesJisuanji gongcheng, 2017
When the V-transform is used to express an image,a coarse to fine multi-scale feature description can be obtained by increasing the number of basis functions of the V-system.But the V-system is not suitable for describing the direction feature of images ...

A Comparative Study of Shearlet, Wavelet, Laplacian Pyramid, Curvelet, and Contourlet Transform to Defect Detection [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Soft Computing in Civil Engineering, 2023
This study presents a new approach based on shearlet transform for the first time to detect damages, and compare it with the wavelet, Laplacian pyramid, curvelet, and contourlet transforms to specify different types of defects in plate structures ...

Classification Mammogram Images Using ID3 decision tree Algorithm Based on Contourlet Transform [PDF]

open access: yesEngineering and Technology Journal, 2015
Breast cancer is the most common malignancy of women and is the second most common and leading cause of cancer deaths among them. At present, there are no effective ways to prevent breast cancer, because its cause is not yet fully known.
