Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsSPECKLE 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 · 6,915 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsAmeliorate Fuzzy C-Means: An Ameliorate Fuzzy C-Means Clustering Algorithm for CT-Lung Image SegmentationJ. Bridget Nirmala, S. GowriEffective and efficient image segmentation acts as a preliminary stage for the computer-aided diagnosis of medical images. For image segmentation, many FCM-based clustering techniques have been proposed. Regrettably, the existing FCM technique does not generate accurate and standardized segmentation results. This is due to the noise present in the image as well as the random initialization of membership values for … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 11 · 1 Oct 2013 · 6,824 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsComparison and Analysis of Vertical Coherence in the Shallow Water of Two ocean regionV. G. Sivakumar, V. Rajendran, R. SaranyaNoise characteristics at shallow water is highly variable due to wave guide nature of the shallow water environment, reflection of noise from the bottom surface; due to biological activities and also due the sound speed in shallow water vary substantially. Thus noise field characterization is complex in shallow water.

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsComparative Analysis of Satellite Image Pre-Processing TechniquesT. Sree Sharmila, K. Ramar, T. SreeRenga RajaSatellite images are corrupted by noise in its acquisition and transmission. The removal of noise from the image by attenuating the high frequency image components, removes some important details as well. In order to retain the useful information and improve the visual appearance, an effective denoising and resolution enhancement techniques are required. In this research, Hybrid Directional Lifting (HDL) technique … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 1 Apr 2013 · 7,310 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsAn Enhanced Approach for Medical Brain Image EnhancementJ. Umamaheswari, G. RadhamaniProblem statement: One of the most common degradations in medical images is their poor contrast quality and noise. The DICOM image consists of speckle (multiplicative noise). While the image is enhanced, the multiplicative noise present in the image is also enhanced. Approach: This study describes the hybrid method to improve the image quality of Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 8 · 27 Jul 2012 · 6,969 accessesView PDFCite
