Comparative Analysis of Haar and Daubechies Wavelet for Hyper Spectral Image Classification

Abstract

ABSTRACT:With the number of channels in the hundreds instead of in the tens Hyper spectral imagery possesses much richer spectral information than multispectral imagery. The increased dimensionality of such Hyper spectral data provides a challenge to the current technique for analyzing data. Conventional classification methods may not be useful without dimension reduction pre-processing. So dimension reduction has become a significant part of Hyper spectral image processing. This paper presents a comparative analysis of the efficacy of Haar and Daubechies wavelets for dimensionality reduction in achieving image classification. Spectral data reduction using Wavelet Decomposition could be useful because it preserves the distinction among spectral signatures. Daubechies wavelets optimally capture the polynomial trends while Haar wavelet is discontinuous and resembles a step function. The performance of these wavelets are compared in terms of classification accuracy and time complexity. This paper shows that wavelet reduction has more separate classes and yields better or comparable classification accuracy. In the context of the dimensionality reduction algorithm, it is found that the performance of classification of Daubechies wavelets is better as compared to Haar wavelet while Daubechies takes more time compare to Haar wavelet. The experimental results demonstrate the classification system consistently provides over 84% classification accuracy.

Continuous m-Health Data Authentication Using Wavelet Decomposition for Feature Extraction

“…Mexican hat wavelet transform has a more repeatable response for high frequency features and not a directional wavelet, mostly used for pointwise analysis [ 21 , 22 ]. Haar wavelet has the advantages of being simple and fast while dealing with memory efficiency, it can separate data classes without significantly losing the original data information [ 23 ]. Daubechies’s wavelets are endowed with symmetry with the energy spectrum concentrated around low frequencies and efficient for dimension reduction of image classification [ 24 , 25 ].…”

Offline signatures matching using haar wavelet subbands

“…The wavelet is an efficient multi-resolution technique for sub-band decomposition, and this is performed by implementing a digital filtering [17][18][19]. The low and high pass filters are used to obtain the approximation information and detail information respectively [17].…”

“…Haar wavelet transform is used to extract the local features in the signature image. One of the important aspect of haar wavelet transform is to find corners and contours [18][19][20][21]. The reason for choosing the haar wavelet in this work is due to its being required low computational cost, fast and each sub bands (detail) contains a special edges type [22][23][24][25][26].…”
