Experiments show that wavelet shrinkage algorithm which uses neighboring pixels energy improves the denoising performance and achieves better peak signal to noise ratio compared to other thresholding algorithms.

The data collection of the human thorax tissue is carried out using an automatic non-contact scanning system controlled by the personal computer. The data after digitization, interpolation and filtering, are color-coded and displayed on the outline of the human thorax.

For optical characterization the optical parameters, scattering (mus) and absorption (mua) coefficients and the anisotropy parameter (g) at each location on the human thorax, by matching of reflectance profiles with that as simulated by a Monte Carlo simulation (MCS) procedure were determined.

So active star topology based CAN protocol is proposed, which needs the design of respective hub that could enforce confinement of faulty nodes thus avoiding any severe failure of communication.

Hence there is a need of nonlinear filtering approach. The neural networks have been a predominant technology for intelligent control for many years. The cascaded correlation neural network algorithm has the powerful capabilities of learning and adaptation. By virtue of the learning ability, neural networks can be adapted to constantly changing environments.

A face recognition system based on recent method which concerned with both representation and recognition using artificial neural networks is presented. This paper initially provides the overview of the proposed face recognition system, and explains the methodology used.

Feature data sets for each layer are selected from normal transactions. The detection subsystem contains normal profiles obtained from the feature vectors of training data sets. In our work, we used Bayesian classification algorithm, Markov chain construction algorithm and association rule mining algorithm for anomaly detection in MAC layer, routing layer and application layer respectively for effective intrusion detection. Test data obtained from the network traffic is feed in to the detection subsystems. If there is any deviation from normal behavior, it is considered as abnormal or anomaly based on predefined thresholds.

These redundancies can be compensated efficiently by transform, motion estimation/compensation and quantization respectively. The existing video coding standards (MPEG) use block based discrete cosine transform (DCT). In the DCT the input image needs to be blocked. So correlation across the block boundaries is not eliminated resulting in noticeable and annoying blocking artifacts. This is overcome by using wavelets. For better performance in compression, filters used in wavelet transforms should have the property of orthogonality, symmetry, short support and higher approximation order. Due to implementation constraints scalar wavelets do not satisfy all these properties simultaneously. Also compression scheme based on wavelets is slow. A new class of wavelets called 'multiwavelets' which possess more than one scaling filters overcomes this problem. The objective of this paper is to develop and propose an efficient video compression scheme which provides better quality, high compression and also faster. This is achieved by using multiwavelets for transform, kite cross diamond search (KCDS) algorithm for block matching and 'novel scheme' for quantization. Novel scheme is a combination of set partitioning in hierarchical trees algorithm (SPIHT) and set partitioning in embedded block coding (SPECK).
