The bone fracture is the most common problem and is likely to occur due to traumatic incidents like vehicle accidents, sporting injuries or due to conditions like osteoporosis, cancer related to bones. Fracture cannot be viewed by naked eye and so X-ray, CT, ultrasound, MRI images are used to detect it. These images cannot be diagnosed directly and henceforth image processing plays a very important role in fracture detection. This paper presents an image processing technique that uses Laplacian method of edge detection for accurate identification of fractured bone area from the X-ray/CT images. From the fractured bone area several parameters like mean, standard deviation are calculated in order to analyze the accuracy and sensitivity of the used technique. NIVISION assistant software is used and the statistical parameters are calculated.

Deep learning plays a key role in medical image processing. One of the applications of deep learning models in this domain is bone fracture detection from X-ray images. Convolutional neural network and its variants are used in wide range of medical image processing applications. MURA Dataset is commonly used in various studies that detect bone fractures and this work also uses that dataset, in specific the Humerus bone radiograph images. The humerus dataset in the MURA dataset contains both images with fracture and without fracture. The image with fracture includes images with metals which are removed in this work. Experimental analysis was made with two variants of convolutional neural network, DenseNet169 Model and the VGG Model. In case of the DenseNet169 model, a model with the pre trained weights of ImageNet and one without it is experimented. Results obtained with these variants of CNN are comparedand it shows that DenseNet169 model that uses pre-trained weights of ImageNet model performs better than the other two models.


There are several bones in the body but the femur is especially the important bone in the body which is from the hip to knee. The Red blood cells(RBC) are created because of bone called femur. In this paper we have given a method to know where the bone has broken by the methods of image processing..We will preprocess the image in order to show the interested domain . In this paper, foreground is taken as our interested domain in order to hide the background details. There are many mathematical and morphological operations which are used for this process, by using these methods and operations we highlight the foreground and the objects in the foreground will be highlighted by using edge detection. The support vector machine in the preprocessed image to know where the bone has fractured and where the bone was not fractured


Quickly creating innovations are developing each day in various fields, particularly in restorative condition. Notwithstanding, still some old strategies are very famous. XRays are one of these systems for identification of bone cracks. By the way, here and there the span of breaks isn't huge and couldn't be recognized effectively. So for the efficient recognition of the crack has become more important . This venture plans to build up an sharp characterization framework that would be equipped for identifying and characterizing the bone cracks. The created framework involves two important stages. In the main stage, the pictures of the breaks are prepared utilizing distinctive picture handling systems in request to identify their area and shapes and the following stage is the arrangement stage, where the sample image is filtered through various filtration stages to obtain the crack effectively, the framework was tried on various bone break pictures and the outcomes show high proficiency what's more, an arrangement rate.

AbstractUnusual short-period comet 29P/Schwassmann-Wachmann 1 inspired many observers to explain its unpredictable outbursts. In this paper large scale structures and features from the inner part of the coma in time periods around outbursts are studied. CCD images were taken at Whipple Observatory, Mt. Hopkins, in 1989 and at Astronomical Observatory, Modra, from 1995 to 1998. Photographic plates of the comet were taken at Harvard College Observatory, Oak Ridge, from 1974 to 1982. The latter were digitized at first to apply the same techniques of image processing for optimizing the visibility of features in the coma during outbursts. Outbursts and coma structures show various shapes.

AbstractIn this paper we present complete two-dimensional measurements of the observed brightness of the 9th November 1990Hαflare, using a PDS microdensitometer scanner and image processing software MIDAS. The resulting isophotal contour maps, were used to describe morphological-cum-temporal behaviour of the flare and also the kernels of the flare. Correlation of theHαflare with SXR and MW radiations were also studied.

A recent paper by Kirkland on nonlinear electron image processing, referring to a relatively new textbook, highlights the persistence in the literature of calculations based on incomplete and/or incorrect models of electron imageing, notwithstanding the various papers which have recently pointed out the correct forms of the appropriate equations. Since at least part of the problem can be traced to underlying assumptions about the illumination coherence conditions, we attempt to clarify both the assumptions and the corresponding equations in this paper, illustrating the effects of an incorrect theory by means of images calculated in different ways.The first point to be made clear concerning the illumination coherence conditions is that (except for very thin specimens) it is insufficient simply to know the source profiles present, i.e. the ranges of different directions and energies (focus levels) present in the source; we must also know in general whether the various illumination components are coherent or incoherent with respect to one another.
