The first method uses lifting biorthogonal wavelet filters proposed by Sweldens. The lifting filters include controllable free parameters. Our idea is to learn the free parameters so that lifting highpass components in horizontal direction are equal to those in vertical direction. The learned filters are applied to extract objects in a sequence of images. The second method employs lifting dyadic wavelet filters proposed recently by us. Wavelet transform obtained using these filters is shift-invariant. A learning method of free parameters contained in the dyadic wavelet filters is proposed to achieve fast object extraction. Since the accuracy of the extraction is very high, it can be used as a personal identification tool.","PeriodicalId":185817,"journal":{"name":"The 2004 47th Midwest Symposium on Circuits and Systems, 2004.

The simulation results show that the improved active inductor can achieve the maximum Q-value of 3500. The power consumption of a constant value around 10 mW exists in the oscillator. This oscillator also depicts a reasonable phase noise performance of -91 dBc/Hz at 600 kHz from 0.8 GHz to 3 GHz range.

Unsharp masking that is widely used for image enhancement amplifies image contrast by adding the high-frequency component that is obtained by a linear high-pass filter from an input image. The linear high-pass filter of the unsharp masking also emphasizes noises that appear in the input image. In order to avoid the emphasis of the noises, weighted unsharp masking techniques have been proposed. In these methods, the high-frequency component is defined as a product between a weighting function of which modulus increases around image edges and the linear high-pass filter output. To improve the noise suppression property of the weighted unsharp masking, we introduce wavelet scale products to the weighting function. The weighting function of the proposed method is defined as the linear combination of the squared of a wavelet transform and the product of the wavelet transforms at different scales. We specify the parameter of the weighting function based on the edge enhancement property and the noise amplification property. The statistical analysis of the noise amplification shows that the proposed method can reduce the noise variance to about 1/5 of the gradient-based weighted unsharp masking filter. Examples of image enhancement and a comparison between the other weighted unsharp masking are also shown.","PeriodicalId":185817,"journal":{"name":"The 2004 47th Midwest Symposium on Circuits and Systems, 2004.
