Book excerpt: LA PRESENTE THESE EXAMINE PLUSIEURS ASPECTS DE LA COMPRESSION D'IMAGES OU DE SEQUENCES D'IMAGES. EN ANALYSE, DEUX NOUVELLES METHODES PRINCIPALES SONT PRESENTEES. LA MODELISATION VECTORIELLE DECRIT CHAQUE COMPOSANTE D'UNE IMAGE PAR UN JEU DE SINUSOIDES EXPONENTIELLES. LA QUALITE DE CETTE MODELISATION PEUT ETRE AMELIOREE PAR UN ALGORITHME DE PROJECTIONS SUCCESSIVES DONT LES PROPRIETES DE CONVERGENCE SONT ANALYSEES. UN SYSTEME DE COMPRESSION D'IMAGES, QUI MONTRE DE BONNES PERFORMANCES POUR DES IMAGES STATIONNAIRES/PERIODIQUES EST PROPOSE. LA TRANSFORMATION MSTP EST UN AUTRE OUTIL D'ANALYSE INSPIRE DE LA DECOMPOSITION DYADIQUE EN SOUS-BANDES. ELLE CONSISTE EN UNE TRANSFORMEE EN ONDELETTES SUIVIE D'UNE TRANSFORMATION DES TROIS COEFFICIENTS DE DETAIL EN COORDONNEES SPHERIQUES ET ELLE PERMET L'EXPLOITATION DES INTERCORRELATIONS DES SOUS-BANDES DU MEME NIVEAU DE RESOLUTION, SANS AUGMENTER LA COMPLEXITE DU CODEUR. UN SYSTEME DE COMPRESSION EST CONCU ET COMPARE AVEC SUCCES A DES SYSTEMES ETABLIS COMME JPEG ET LE SYSTEME DIT ZEROTREES. NOUS DECRIVONS EGALEMENT DEUX METHODES DE QUANTIFICATION, TOUTES DEUX VECTORIELLES.

Book Contribution aux techniques de compression d image

Download or read book Contribution aux techniques de compression d image written by Marc Hohenadel and published by . This book was released on 1994 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L'introduction massive de l'image numérique dans la seconde partie de ce siècle conduit à manipuler des masses d'informations de plus en plus importantes. Les méthodes de compression d'image sont une solution pour éliminer l'information non pertinente et ainsi réduire la masse d'informations numériques d'une image. Parmi les nombreuses méthodes de compression d'image, les méthodes utilisant les outils mathématiques de l'analyse par ondelettes sont très prometteuses. Ce mémoire présente une nouvelle méthode de compression d'image de dernière génération utilisant deux outils de l'analyse par ondelettes : la décomposition en sous-bandes et la transformée en ondelettes. Après avoir détaillé cette nouvelle méthode de compression, l'ensemble des outils mathématiques utiles à la compréhension de son principe sera explicite en détail. Entre autre, seront explicitées du point de vue mathématique, les transformées orthogonales comme Fourier, Hadamard, Walsh,... la transformée en ondelettes de Haar, et les décompositions en sous-bandes. Une implémentation informatique de chacun des outils présentés sera aussi proposée. Pour finir, nous comparerons les résultats de la nouvelle méthode de compression à la norme de compression JPEG

Book Local Approximation Techniques in Signal and Image Processing

Download or read book Local Approximation Techniques in Signal and Image Processing written by Vladimir I︠A︡kovlevich Katkovnik and published by SPIE-International Society for Optical Engineering. This book was released on 2006 with total page 584 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book deals with a wide class of novel and efficient adaptive signal processing techniques developed to restore signals from noisy and degraded observations. These signals include those acquired from still or video cameras, electron microscopes, radar, X-rays, or ultrasound devices, and are used for various purposes, including entertainment, medical, business, industrial, military, civil, security, and scientific. In many cases useful information and high quality must be extracted from the imaging. However, often raw signals are not directly suitable for this purpose and must be processed in some way. Such processing is called signal reconstruction. This book is devoted to a recent and original approach to signal reconstruction based on combining two independent ideas: local polynomial approximation and the intersection of confidence interval rule.

Book Underwater Acoustic Data Processing

Download or read book Underwater Acoustic Data Processing written by Y. T. Chan and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 642 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contains the papers that were accepted for presentation at the 1988 NATO Advanced Study Institute on Underwater Acoustic Data Processing, held at the Royal Military College of Canada from 18 to 29 July, 1988. Approximately 110 participants from various NATO countries were in attendance during this two week period. Their research interests range from underwater acoustics to signal processing and computer science; some are renowned scientists and some are recent Ph.D. graduates. The purpose of the ASI was to provide an authoritative summing up of the various research activities related to sonar technology. The exposition on each subject began with one or two tutorials prepared by invited lecturers, followed by research papers which provided indications of the state of development in that specific area. I have broadly classified the papers into three sections under the titles of I. Propagation and Noise, II. Signal Processing and III. Post Processing. The reader will find in Section I papers on low frequency acoustic sources and effects of the medium on underwater acoustic propagation. Problems such as coherence loss due to boundary interaction, wavefront distortion and multipath transmission were addressed. Besides the medium, corrupting noise sources also have a strong influence on the performance of a sonar system and several researchers described methods of modeling these sources.

Book Faecal Sludge Management

Download or read book Faecal Sludge Management written by Linda Strande and published by IWA Publishing. This book was released on 2014-08-15 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is estimated that literally billions of residents in urban and peri-urban areas of Africa, Asia, and Latin America are served by onsite sanitation systems (e.g. various types of latrines and septic tanks). Until recently, the management of faecal sludge from these onsite systems has been grossly neglected, partially as a result of them being considered temporary solutions until sewer-based systems could be implemented. However, the perception of onsite or decentralized sanitation technologies for urban areas is gradually changing, and is increasingly being considered as long-term, sustainable options in urban areas, especially in low- and middle-income countries that lack sewer infrastructures. This is the first book dedicated to faecal sludge management. It compiles the current state of knowledge of the rapidly evolving field of faecal sludge management, and presents an integrated approach that includes technology, management, and planning based on Sandecs 20 years of experience in the field. Faecal Sludge Management: Systems Approach for Implementation and Operation addresses the organization of the entire faecal sludge management service chain, from the collection and transport of sludge, and the current state of knowledge of treatment options, to the final end use or disposal of treated sludge. The book also presents important factors to consider when evaluating and upscaling new treatment technology options. The book is designed for undergraduate and graduate students, and engineers and practitioners in the field who have some basic knowledge of environmental and/or wastewater engineering.
