IMAGE RESOLUTION ENHANCEMENT OF SATELLITE IMAGES USING DYADIC INTEGER COEFFICIENT WAVELET FILTER FOR WAVELET TRANSFORM

Abstract

In this paper, image resolution enhancements for satellite images are proposed using dyadic integer coefficients based wavelet filter (DICWF). We proposes a technique in which discrete wavelet transform and stationary wavelet transform using DICWF which is used to obtain a high resolution image and this image is derived from frequency subbands. The satellite images play a very vital role now days in the development of technical aspects which needs to be enhanced. These satellite images are superresolved with the help of dyadic integer coefficient-based wavelet filters, which reduces the hardware complexity and computational difficulties due to the rational and integer coefficients of these filter banks. The value of the peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) of the proposed method and the resultant visual images of the proposed method show the effectiveness of this algorithm over other existing algorithms using discrete wavelet transform. Noise can be minimized by applying thresholding on different frequency subbands which obtained by the application of DICWF to the noisy, blurred input images.
