Abstract

Wavelet transform is widely used in feature extraction of magnetic resonance imaging. However, the traditional discrete wavelet transform (DWT) suffers from translation variant property, which may extract significantly different features from two images of the same subject with only slight movement. In order to solve this problem, this paper utilizes stationary wavelet transform (SWT) to extract features instead of DWT. Experiments on a normal brain MRI demonstrate that wavelet coefficients via SWT is superior to that via DWT concerning translation invariant property.
