Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsK-MEANS BASED IMAGE DENOISING USING BILATERAL FILTERING AND TOTAL VARIATIONDanu Wiroteurairuang, Sanun Srisuk, Chom Kimpan, Thanwa SripramongBilateral filter and Total variation image denoising are widely used in image denoising. In low noisy level, bilateral filtering is better than TV denoising for it reveals better SNR and sharper edges. However, in high noisy level, TV denoising outperforms bilateral filtering in terms of SNR and more details of non edges. It is very difficult to perform denoising of … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 12 · 30 Dec 2014 · 8,171 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsAutomatic Personal Identification Using Feature Similarity Index MatchingR. Gayathri, P. RamamoorthyProblem statement: Biometrics based personal identification is as an effective method for automatically recognizing, a person’s identity with high confidence. Palmprint is an essential biometric feature for use in access control and forensic applications. In this study, we present a multi feature extraction, based on edge detection scheme, applying Log Gabor filter to enhance image structures and suppress noise. Approach: … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 5 · 2 Mar 2012 · 6,715 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSegmentation of Medical Image using Clustering and Watershed AlgorithmsM.C. Jobin Christ, R.M.S. ParvathiProblem statement: Segmentation plays an important role in medical imaging. Segmentation of an image is the division or separation of the image into dissimilar regions of similar attribute. In this study we proposed a methodology that integrates clustering algorithm and marker controlled watershed segmentation algorithm for medical image segmentation. The use of the conservative watershed algorithm for medical image analysis … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 12 · 22 Oct 2011 · 8,780 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGeochemical Distribution of Trace Metals and Assessment of Anthropogenic Pollution in Sediments of Old Nakagawa River, Tokyo, JapanH.M. Zakir, Naotatsu Shikazono, Kazuo OtomoThe geochemical distributions of cadmium (Cd), copper (Cu), chromium (Cr), lead (Pb) and zinc (Zn) were examined in sediments collected from Old Nakagawa River (NR), Tokyo, Japan. A widely used 5-step sequential extraction procedure was employed for the fractionation of the metals and the concentrations were measured in the liquid extracts by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). The association … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 6 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,453 accessesView PDF Cite
