Digital Image Noise Reduction Methods
Čišecký, Roman ; Říha, Kamil (referee) ; Číka, Petr (advisor)
The master's thesis is concerned with digital image denoising methods. The theoretical part explains some elementary terms related to image processing, image noise, categorization of noise and quality determining criteria of denoising process. There are also particular denoising methods described, mentioning their advantages and disadvantages in this paper. The practical part deals with an implementation of the selected denoising methods in a Java, in the environment of application RapidMiner. In conclusion, the results obtained by different methods are compared.

Comparison of Multimedia Signal Compression Possibilities
Špaček, Milan ; Mišurec, Jiří (referee) ; Škorpil, Vladislav (advisor)
Thesis deals with multimedia signal comparison of compression options focused on video and advanced codecs. Specifically it describes the encoding and decoding of video recordings according to the MPEG standard. The theoretical part of the thesis describes characteristic properties of the video signal and justification for the need to use recording and transmission compression. There are also described methods for elimination of encoded video signal redundancy and irrelevance. Further on are discussed ways of measuring the video signal quality. A separate chapter is focused on the characteristics of currently used and promising codecs. In the practical part of the thesis were created functions in Matlab environment. These functions were implemented into graphic user interface that simulates the activity of functional blocks of the encoder and decoder. Based on user-specified input parameters it performs encoding and decoding of any given picture, composed of images in RGB format, and displays the outputs of individual functional blocks. There are implemented algorithms for the initial processing of the input sequence including sub-sampling, as well as DCT, quantization, motion compensation and their inverse operations. Separate chapters are dedicated to the realisation of codec description in the Matlab environment and to the individual processing steps output. Further on are mentioned compress algorithm comparisons and the impact of parameter change onto the final signal. The findings are summarized in conclusion.

Digital Image Watermarking
Al Zaid, Abdullah Saleh ; Říha, Kamil (referee) ; Číka, Petr (advisor)
This is the Final Project Report as being composed of an extensive summary of activities and results made by the student Abdullah S. A. Alzaid while undertaking the Watermark Project. This project acquaints an algorithm of digital watermarking which is based on Discrete Cosine Transform(DCT) and Discrete Wavelet Transform(DWT). In accord with the characters of human vision, the main objective of the project is to be focused on developing an image watermarking algorithm by taking advantage of both the DCT and DWT transforms and analysis of the algorithm on the basis of invisibility, distortion and robustness to attacks. The simulation results show that this algorithm is invisible and has good robustness for some common image processing operations. By the use of Matlab software, the two structures have been coded and then implemented.

Educational video codec
Dvořák, Martin ; Hála, Ondřej (referee) ; Slanina, Martin (advisor)
The first goal of diploma thesis is to study the basic principles of video signal compression. Introduction to techniques used to reduce irrelevancy and redundancy in the video signal. The second goal is, on the basis of information about compression tools, implement the individual compression tools in the programming environment of Matlab and assemble simple model of the video codec. Diploma thesis contains a description of the three basic blocks, namely - interframe coding, intraframe coding and coding with variable length word - according the standard MPEG-2.

New Transforms for JPEG Format
Svoboda, Stanislav ; Polok, Lukáš (referee) ; Bařina, David (advisor)
The discrete cosine transform (DCT) can be found in the heart of many image compression algorithms. Specifically, the JPEG format uses a lossy form of compression based on that transform. Since the standardization of the JPEG, many other transforms become practical in lossy data compression. This article aims to analyze the use of these transforms as the DCT replacement in the JPEG compression chain. Each transform is examined for different image datasets and subsequently compared to other transforms using the peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) and SSIM. Our experiments show that an overlapping variation of the DCT, the local cosine transform (LCT), overcame the original block-wise transform at low bitrates. At high bitrates, the discrete wavelet transform employing the Cohen-Daubechies-Feauveau 9/7 wavelet offers about the same compression performance as the DCT.

Handwriting recognition using neural network
Petr, Martin ; Surynek, Pavel (advisor) ; Pergel, Martin (referee)
Title: Handwriting recognition using neural network Author: Martin Petr Department: Department of Theoretical Computer Science and Mathematical Logic Supervisor: RNDr. Pavel Surynek, PhD. Supervisor's e-mail address: pavel.surynek@mff.cuni.cz Abstract: Pattern recognition finds its use in many fields whose development has been affected by computer science and computer technology. Among these, the conversion of handwritten or printed text into computer-encoded text has a particularly prominent position. In the presented work we propose a method for recognizing handwritten characters in real-time using feedforward neural network as the basic classification mechanism. Dealing with differences among individual instances of each handwritten character we thoroughly explored the possibility of suppressing these while emphasizing characteristics that are essential for successful recognition. For these purposes we employed discrete cosine transform, whose time-proven application in audio and video signal processing or even directly in the field of pattern recognition provided a convincing argument for us to use it in our work as well. As a means of suppressing variations among various writing instruments we proposed preprocessing of input images using binarization and skeletonization. The designed method was...

Lossy Light Field Compression
Dlabaja, Drahomír ; Milet, Tomáš (referee) ; Bařina, David (advisor)
The aim of this paper is to propose, implement and evaluate a new lossy compression method for light field images. The proposed method extends the JPEG method to four dimensions and brings new ideas which lead to better compression performance. Correlation between light field views is exploited in both dimensions by four-dimensional discrete cosine transformation. The lossy part of the encoding is performed by quantization, similarly to the JPEG method. The proposed method is implemented as a program library in a C++ language. This paper compares the proposed method to JPEG, JPEG 2000 and HEVC intra image compression methods and HEVC video compression method. The results show that the proposed method outperforms the reference methods with images with a higher amount of views. HEVC video method is better for images with fewer views or for very low bitrates.

Image compression simultaneously in spatial and frequency domains
Vaněk, Martin ; Šorel, Michal (referee) ; Rajmic, Pavel (advisor)
This thesis is concerned with image compression. Firstly, JPEG lossy compression and origin of typical artifacts is explained. Then, some basic concepts are introduced and sparse representation of signals are presented. Then presentation of proximal algorithms is folowed and formulation of two optimazation problems, wchich removes typical artifacts on edges, created by JPEG compression. These problems are then solved by proximal algorithms.
