The proposed model is base on Almeida et al. (2006) model. First, the elementary run into interval manner has been explained, and then the proposed pre-processing methods soak up been inaugurateed. In addition, insulation method presents base on twain sampled wavelet and compliance metamorphose which has adaptive structure. The result showed that proposed model has a sizeable quality with a little run beat. On the early(a) han d, this model which handling directional strain money box has pa lend oneself up effect in breakup with somewhat two level of dissolution. Finally, the two mainly proposed algorithms (NSWT and Improved NSCT) shows that, we achieve to rattling good results which our crystalized paintings fork out absolutely good quality by employ preprocessing and these methods simultaneously.Keywords design separation contour let non-subsample wavelet.When we scan or pic a paper document, especially if the paper is thin or transp atomic number 18nt, the understand from the backside often appears on the image from the front page. This is a morsel problem which is usually occurs, when the electronic version of an old document or a book is needed. Extracting addresss from multifariousness images is a problem of blind blood separation. Independent Comp wholenessnt depth psychology (ICA) is one of the good solutions for this problem, which is done with unidimensional and non additive ICA in 3 and 4, respectively. The results show that the nonlinear solution is weaken, because images ar composite through a nonlinear procedure. In 3 authors use a nonlinear method, which is named MISEP that is based on multilayer perception utilise in neural network. In the most of ICA methods the result are achieved from adaptive or iterative algorithms, which are time-consuming procedures. A nonher work was based on the nonlinear de-noising opening separation (DSS) method 6. This method is supposed when two images aim nonparasitic sources and dumbfound different oftenness components in the analogous locations. These conditions are the same as those exist when a source is contaminated by noise. Therefore, nonlinear de-noising might be use for source separation. The separation method used here is similar to that implemented in 6. However, we believe that human optical perception uses different edge directions in the mixed subjects to separate them. Therefore, we modify the method in 6 which based on exact high oftenness separation. As well known, wavelet analysis offers limited directional discipline in representing image edges when separable one-dimensional transforms are used for images. Minh N. Do and Martin Vetterli developed a true two dimensional representation, called contour let 7, which can capture the intrinsic geometrical structure that is key in visual information. Compare to the recent image representations this construction results in a flexible multi-resolution, local and directional image expansion using contour segments. Moreover, sub sampling process in the wavelet transform trade the geometric information of image percentage points like edges. So, non-subsample wavelets are introduced for decomposing the image frequency components with break off saving its geometric information. For comparing the results with 6, here we use the images that Mr. B. Luis. Almeidamade in his laboratory. He dealt with a difficult version of imag e mixture problem, equivalent to the use of onionskin paper, which causes a strong nonlinear mixture. The source and mixture images are shown in figures 1 and 2. More information near images is available in 1 and 2. This paper is organized as follows scratch 2 explains the fundamental image separation method which is used in this paper. Section 3 introduces the proposed pre-processing methods. Section 4 presents separation method based on non-sub sampled wavelet and non-sub sampled contour let transform which has adaptive structure. Section 5 explains the experimental result. Section 6 has some discussions about the results. Section 7 gives the concluding remarks.The nonlinear image separation procedure based on de noising source separation 1 is based on wavelet transform, and uses genuinely basic information about the sources and the mixture procedure. This information is based on two observations First the high frequency components (details) of common images are sparse. As a consequence, the wavelet coefficients from two different source images will seldom twain have significant values in the same image location.Fig. 1 Five source image pairs 1.Second Each source is more(prenominal) strongly represented in the image acquired from that side of the paper in which that source is printed than in the image acquired from the opposite side. The schematic representation of the separation method is shown in Figure 3. In this figure, the mixed images are frontmost pre-processed by the succeeding(a) relationwhere elements of Q matrix is the auto covariance of mixture matrix. This par applies a linear transformation to the mixed sources. The nonlinear process is based on wavelet analysis which iteratively decomposes the approximation coefficients Aj(the low frequency component) at level j to four components (the approximation at level j+1, and the details in trine orientations horizontal, vertical, aslope).Fig. 2 Five mixture image pairs after scanning 1. co mponents (the approximation at level j + 1, and the detail sin three orientations horizontal, vertical, virgule).After performing wavelet radioactive decay on mixed images for a certain number of levels, a competition is performed amid the corresponding high frequency components from the two mixture images in individually(prenominal) side of paper, according to following equationare the wavelet coefficients of a given type (for voice vertical coefficients at the get-go decomposition level) of the decomposition of the i th mixture image, x3i are the corresponding coefficients from the other mixture image, and a is a parameter that controls the strength of the competition.Fig.3 courtly representation of wavelet-based separation method1This competition was applied to all horizontal, vertical and diagonal wavelet coefficients at all decomposition levels. The competition computes mask mi through a soft winner take all work on 1, and then applies this mask to the wavelet high fre quency coefficients of the mixture images, so that the coefficients are intensified in the image in which they originally were stronger and modify in the image in which they were weaker. The separated images then will be synthesized using the wavelet coefficients compute competition in high frequency. In 1, one-dimensional discrete wavelet basis are separately used in horizontal and vertical directions.In the first bill we take up the mixing procedure is a linear process and try to thought the mixing matrix and implement the inverse matrix for separation. Although, we know the linear assumption is not completely right, however, it can be used as a pre-processing step to separate the mixed images.Since the source images are not available, the mixing matrix should be estimated through a statistical approach. The following approach is written for this purpose. If we show the source signals as S, mixture signals X and the mixing matrix as A, then we haveX= AS (4)In equation (5) we a ssume that the variables are zero- recall. This means we deal with the mean subtracted source and mixture images. From Eq (5) the autocorrelation matrix of mixed images isFrom Equation (6) and (7) we could bring out(8)(9)Since ba, then only the plus sign is correct and from equation 6 we have X1 + X2 = (a2 + b2) (S1 + S2)(11)A. First Pre-processing regularityWe assume that total energy of pictures out front mixing and after that are equal. We use equation 11 and have some manipulation from these simple equations for a and b.a2 + b2 = 1 (12)(13)(14)B. Second Pre-processing MethodWe assume that when a packet of light emitting from scanner laser, b is the occur of light which went through the paper and a is the amount of light which polish from first side of paper. In this method, we assume that, the amount of light which go through the paper and the amount of light which reflect back, together are constant. We havea + b = 1(15)(16)But in this case, when we extract images, the bl oodline of images is high. For this effect we use modified form of this equation as on a lower floora+b = 1.4(17)(18)C. Third Pre-processing MethodWe know from equation 5 that(19)This equation has four undefined parameter and from equation 8 we have three equations. Assume that for normal deviation of mixture images and primary image we have(20)This is the other equation to solve four undefined parameters. By solving(19),we can determine a and b. (21)Where s1 and s2 are separated sources through a linear process.Fig.4 Result of implementing the proposed pre-processing methodSince, we estimated the mixing matrix through non-exact assumptions it should be examined to show how it can separate the mixed images. Therefore we applied these three pre-processing method.We fall upon that these three equation which get ahead from previous assumption has approximately the same extraction Figure (4-a) shows the mixed and processed images. From Fig4 b) we can see the proposed linear process 3 could approximately separate the mixed images. Although, s1 and s2 are not completely separated, we use the linear process as pre-processing step and those may be used for final separation through the nonlinear process that will be explained in the next section. The results of applying our pre-processing method to one pair of mixed images are shown in Fig. 4. The results show that the proposed method has partially separated the mixed images.The most important goal of this separation method is to obtain a sparse edge and contours of images that are placedin high frequency component of images. Wavelets for decomposition is not good 9 because when we use wavelets, in each level of decomposition, a down sampler shrink the size of the oddity and competition in high frequency is not exact and when we suppose image from that, blocking effect appear. Because assume the size of image is odd. In down sampling we have not an exact decomposition and in reconstruction, images dont have a good quality and appear some block.In first method we use NSWT which approve those blocking effect. This method has genuinely short runtime and is acceptable for approximately all application. The other method is based on NSCT. This method is composed of pyramid decomposition and directional get across bank. benefit decomposition is shown in figure5 and directional filter bank is shown in figure 6. When we use these two decomposition at the same time we have a composed method which is shown in figure 7.Fig.5 Pyramid DecompositionFig.6 Directional filter bankDirectional filter bank have a good property that can describe diagonal line in pictures and if we use it for separation we have a better result. For each decomposed frequency based part, we use our well-known mask which is depict before. We present an adaptive form of NSCT which is announced below.Fig.7 Combining two methodsWe first decompose in first level and apply separation mask. thus we reconstruct images and use correlatio n factor among them. If it is too low for example 0.01, extraction is good. If it is higher than some threshold we decompose image in further level and use separation mask. In this method, it is not necessary that we define decomposition level at first. NSCT has other good achievement which is shift invariant. This property has no blocking effect.In this section we present experimental result from our method which are NSWT and improved NSCT. These two methods have an approximately complete separation result. First method has low runtime scarce in order to compare it with NSCT, the last one has a better separation result because we use directional filter bank and it could better separate high frequency in two images in every(prenominal) direction which we want. In NWST we use 6 and 7 level decomposition and since it has fast algorithm to decompose picture in wavelet form. In improved NSCT we use an adaptive form which it has little runtime and can separate in each direction we wa nt. In figure 8 we show the experimental result for NSWT and in figure 9 we show the other one for NSCT.Fig.8 The result with NSWTFig.9 The result with improved NSCTWe see from the results that, our separation methods have better results in compare with the proposed methods in references. In our case, we derive very simple equations that can separate two mixture images linearly, which leads to a from the results that, our separation methods have better results in compare with the proposed methods in references. In our case, we derive very simple equations that can separate two mixture images linearly, which leads to a time-efficient algorithm. The two mainly proposed algorithms (NSWT and Improved NSCT) shows that by using preprocessing and these methods simultaneously, we achieve to really good results and our separated images, have absolutely good quality.In this paper we present a new preprocessing method which has a simple start and high precision in separating mixture images wi th linear form. Also we use two other separation rule that approximately separate images completely. NSWT has a good quality with a little runtime. On the other hand, NSWT which use directional filter bank has better effect in separation with approximately two level of decomposition.References1 Mariana S.C. Almeida and Luis B.
