Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordAn Efficient Ant Algorithm for Swarm-Based Image ClusteringSalima Ouadfel, Mohamed BatoucheA collective approach to resolve the segmentation problem was proposed. AntClust is a new ant-based algorithm that uses the self-organizing and autonomous brood sorting behavior observed in real ants. Ants and pixels are scatted on a discrete array of cells represented the ants’ environment. Using simple local rules and without any central control, ants form homogeneous clusters by moving pixels … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2007 · 7,155 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordModules Over Rings of Small Characteristics and Maximality of Data Hiding ratio in CPTE SchemesPhan Trung Huy, Cheonshik Kim, Nguyen Hai ThanhIntroduced CPT scheme as a block-based hiding scheme based on the ring of the integers modulo 2r, which permits to embed r = ⌊log2(k+1)⌋ secret bits in F by changing at most two entries, while the highest number of secret bits in any CPT-based schemes is MSDR2 = ⌊log2(1+k (k+1)/2)⌋, approximately 2r-1. This ratio can be reached approximately in our … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 9 · 24 Aug 2013 · 6,706 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordDenoising Methods for MRI ImagerySamuel KozaitisThere are several new denoising algorithms that may be useful for magnetic resonance imaging. We compared the performance of some of the latest denoising algorithms with those that have been developed specifically for MRI imagery. We found that the latest approaches show impressive performance in terms of mean squared error, but a measure based on perceptual quality may be needed … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 30 Aug 2017 · 7,478 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordA MODIFIED ADAPTIVE WAVELET SHRINKAGE SPECKLE FILTER FOR ULTRASOUND IMAGESNirmaladevi Periyasamy, Asokan RamasamyThe usage of ultrasound imaging for medical diagnosis is limited due to the presence of speckle noise. In this study Modified Adaptive Wavelet Shrinkage Filter (MAWSF) in the translational invariant domain is proposed for the removal of speckle noise. The adaptive wavelet threshold function removes the fixed bias of soft thresholding. A new inter-scale dependency model is proposed, to perform … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 9, Issue 10 · 16 Sep 2013 · 6,539 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordA Real-time Image Processing with a Compact FPGA-based ArchitectureRidha Djemal, Didier Demigny, Rached TourkiThis study have presented a filed programmable gate array implementation of a real time video smoothing algorithm. In comparison with smoothing video techniques like deblocking filters in H.264 or smoothing in JPEG2000, the proposed method is implemented in hardware and its computational cost and complexity are reduced where all pixel processing related to uncompressed video is done on the fly. … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 7,001 accessesView PDF Cite
