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 · 6,964 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractADDITIVE AND MULTIPLICATIVE NOISE REMOVAL BASED ON ADAPTIVE WAVELET TRANSFORMATION USING CYCLE SPINNINGAsem Khmag, Abd Rahman Ramli, Syed Abdul Rahman Al-Haddad, Shaiful Jahari Bin HashimThe need for image restoration is encountered in many practical applications. For instance, distortion due to Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN) or in some cases the multiplicative (speckle) one can be caused by poor quality image acquisition. Wavelet denoising attempts to remove these types of noise present in the signal while preserving the signal characteristics, regardless of its frequency content. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 27 Dec 2013 · 7,625 accessesView PDF Cite

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 PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSpeckle Suppression of Radar Images Using Normalized ConvolutionA. K. Helmy, G. S. El-TaweelProblem statement: Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images are becoming more widely used in remote sensing applications. SAR uses microwave radiation to illuminate the earth's surface. The coherent microwave illumination, however, suffers from fading effects result in generating a multiplicative speckle noise that corrupts SAR images. Approach: Through this study, scheme to reduce speckles was proposed, it was designed to accomplish … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 10 · 5 Aug 2010 · 7,259 accessesView PDF Cite
