Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Efficient Denoising Algorithm for Impulse Noise RemovalA. Rajamani, V. KrishnaveniNow-a-days the images acquired by the digital cameras and defective sensors tend to introduce noises during either image acquisition or transmission process. The quality of the image is degraded in a significant measure. Lot of research works was carried out for several decades to denoise the impulse noise and each approach has its own merits and demerits. This study deals … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 10 Sep 2014 · 6,814 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHYPERPARAMETER SELECTION IN KERNEL PRINCIPAL COMPONENT ANALYSISMd. Ashad Alam, Kenji FukumizuIn kernel methods, choosing a suitable kernel is indispensable for favorable results. No well-founded methods, however, have been established in general for unsupervised learning. We focus on kernel Principal Component Analysis (kernel PCA), which is a nonlinear extension of principal component analysis and has been used electively for extracting nonlinear features and reducing dimensionality. As a kernel method, kernel PCA … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 7 · 15 Feb 2014 · 8,721 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSPECKLE REDUCTION IN ULTRASOUND IMAGES USING NEIGHSHRINK AND BILATERAL FILTERINGR. Vanithamani, G. UmamaheswariSpeckle is a random multiplicative noise which obscures the perception and extraction of fine details in ultrasound images and speckle reduction is necessary to improve the visual quality of ultrasound images for better diagnosis. This study aims at introducing an algorithm by hybridizing bilateral filter with NeighShrink. The bilateral filter is applied before decomposition and after reconstruction of the image … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 19 Dec 2013 · 6,911 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStem Cells in Traumatic Brain InjurySamuel Dobrowolski, Guilherme LepskiTraumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is a devastating clinical condition that often causes permanent incapacity, especially in the younger population. The clinical relevant of TBI justifies the scientific interest in the pathophysiology of TBI, as well as in protective effects and development of treatment options. Stem cells have the ability to induce neuroprotection and neural repair inflammatory suppression, causing tissue reconstruction … …Neuroscience International, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 12 Apr 2013 · 7,564 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractVoice Activation Visualization for Echocardiograph and 3D Angiographic Images in SurgeryRahmita W. Rahmat, Mohd Z. Dimon, Zinah R. Hussein, Hasan H. KhalilIn some cases, surgeons need to navigate through the computer system for reconfirmation patients’ details and unfortunately surgeons unable to manage both computer system and operation at the same time. In this paper we propose a solution for this problem especially designed for heart surgeon, by introducing voice activation system with 3D visualization of Angiographic images, 2D visualization of Echocardiography … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 11 · 9 Oct 2012 · 8,293 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPerformance Analysis of Multi Spectral Band Image Compression using Discrete Wavelet TransformR. Kousalyadevi, S. S. RamakrishnanProblem statement: Efficient and effective utilization of transmission bandwidth and storage capacity have been a core area of research for remote sensing images. Hence image compression is required for multi-band satellite imagery. In addition, image quality is also an important factor after compression and reconstruction. Approach: In this investigation, the discrete wavelet transform is used to compress the Landsat5 agriculture … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 5 · 6 Mar 2012 · 7,041 accessesView PDFCite

Approach: The KINFIL rainfall-runoff model has been used for the reconstruction of the rainfall runoff events in agricultural land use. The implementation of the KINFIL model supported by GIS proved to be … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 6 · 24 Dec 2011 · 6,859 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComputation of Hahn Moments for Large Size ImagesA. Venkataramana, P. Ananth RajProblem statement: Direct formulas used for Hahn moments computation available in the literature are not applicable for large size images. This is due to the need for calculation of factorial of large values as well as numerical instability in the calculation of polynomial values. This study presents a method to correct these errors. Approach: In this research, recursive formulas for … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2010 · 7,092 accessesView PDFCite
