Discrete wavelet transform (DWT) has gained widespread recognition and popularity in signal processing due to its ability to underline and represent time-varying spectral properties of many transient and other nonstationary signals. However, DWT is a shift-variant transform. This shift-variance is a major problem with the use of DWT for transient signal analysis and pattern recognition applications. A number of modified forms of DWT have been investigated in recent years that provide approximate shift-invariant transform but at the cost of increased redundancy and complexity. In this paper, a shift-invariant analysis scheme is proposed which is non-redundant. This scheme combines minimum-phase (MP) reconstruction with the DWT so that the resultant scheme provides a shift-invariant transform. The detailed properties of MP signal and different methods to reconstruct it are explained. The proposed scheme can be used for the analysis-synthesis, classification, and compression of transient sound signals.

On the Eigenstructure of DFT Matrices
Candan, Çağatay (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2011-03-01)
The discrete Fourier transform (DFT) not only enables fast implementation of the discrete convolution operation, which is critical for the efficient processing of analog signals through digital means, but it also represents a rich and beautiful analytical structure that is interesting on its own. A typical senior-level digital signal processing (DSP) course involves a fairly detailed treatment of DFT and a list of related topics, such as circular shift, correlation, convolution operations, and the connectio...
Continuous dimensionality characterization of image structures
Felsberg, Michael; Kalkan, Sinan; Kruger, Norbert (Elsevier BV, 2009-05-04)
Intrinsic dimensionality is a concept introduced by statistics and later used in image processing to measure the dimensionality of a data set. In this paper, we introduce a continuous representation of the intrinsic dimension of an image patch in terms of its local spectrum or, equivalently, its gradient field. By making use of a cone structure and barycentric co-ordinates, we can associate three confidences to the three different ideal cases of intrinsic dimensions corresponding to homogeneous image patche...
Low-level multiscale image segmentation and a benchmark for its evaluation
Akbaş, Emre (Elsevier BV, 2020-10-01)
In this paper, we present a segmentation algorithm to detect low-level structure present in images. The algorithm is designed to partition a given image into regions, corresponding to image structures, regardless of their shapes, sizes, and levels of interior homogeneity. We model a region as a connected set of pixels that is surrounded by ramp edge discontinuities where the magnitude of these discontinuities is large compared to the variation inside the region. Each region is associated with a scale that d...
Natural resonance-based feature extraction with reduced aspect sensitivity for electromagnetic target classification
Sayan, Gönül (Elsevier BV, 2003-07-01)
This paper presents a model-based electromagnetic feature extraction technique that makes use of time–frequency analysis to extract natural resonance-related target features from scattered signals. In this technique, the discrete auto-Wigner distribution of a given signal is processed to obtain a partitioned energy density vector with a significantly reduced sensitivity to aspect angle. Each partition of this vector contains, in the approximate sense, spectral distribution of the signal energy confined to a...
Nested local symmetry set
Tarı, Zehra Sibel (Elsevier BV, 2000-08-01)
A local-symmetry-based representation for shapes in arbitrary dimensions and a method for its computation are presented. The method depends on analyzing the Hessian of a specific boundaryness function, v, which is computed as the minimizer of an energy functional. The method is basically a generalized ridge finding scheme in which the ridges are defined in terms of the orbit of the gradient vector del v under the action of the Hessian of v. Once the ridges are determined, the local extrema of the magnitude ...
