In this work, we have proposed Notch filter method to enhance MRI brain images. The proposed method performs better when compared with the existing methods from the literature. The performance is evaluated using quantitative measures like Michelon Contrast (MC), entropy, Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR), Structure Similarity Index Measurement (SSIM) and Absolute Mean Brightness Error (AMBE), as a parameter on publically available BRATS-2018 & 2019 dataset. Overall, the proposed method performs well in comparison to the other existing methods.

Mri Brain Images

As a non-invasive diagnostic tool, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) has been widely used in the field of brain imaging. The classification of MRI brain image conditions poses challenges both technically and clinically, as MRI is primarily used for soft tissue anatomy and can generate large amounts of detailed information about the brain conditions of a subject. To classify benign and malignant MRI brain images, we propose a new method. Discrete wavelet transform (DWT) is used to extract wavelet coefficients from MRI images. Then, Tsallis entropy with DNA genetic algorithm (DNA-GA) optimization parameters (called DNAGA-TE) was used to obtain entropy characteristics from DWT coefficients. At last, DNA-GA optimized support vector machine (called DNAGA-KSVM) with radial basis function (RBF) kernel, is applied as a classifier. In our experimental procedure, we use two kinds of images to validate the availability and effectiveness of the algorithm. One kind of data is the Simulated Brain Database and another kind of image is real MRI images which downloaded from Harvard Medical School website. Experimental results demonstrate that our method (DNAGA-TE+KSVM) obtained better classification accuracy.

Human brain can be viewed using MRI images. These images will be useful for physicians, only if their quality is good. We propose a new method called, Contourlet Based Two Stage Adaptive Histogram Equalization (CBTSA), that uses Nonsubsampled Contourlet Transform (NSCT) for smoothing images and adaptive histogram equalization (AHE), under two occasions, called stages, for enhancement of the low contrast MRI images. The given MRI image is fragmented into equal sized sub-images and NSCT is applied to each of the sub-images. AHE is imposed on each resultant sub-image. All processed images are merged and AHE is applied again to the merged image. The clarity of the output image obtained by our method has outperformed the output image produced by traditional methods. The quality was measured and compared using criteria like, Entropy, Absolute Mean Brightness Error (AMBE) and Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR).

Recently, due to the increase in popularity of the Internet, the problem of digital data security over the Internet is increasing at a phenomenal rate. Watermarking is used for various notable applications to secure digital data from unauthorized individuals. To achieve this, in this article, we propose a joint encryption then-compression based watermarking technique for digital document security. This technique offers a tool for confidentiality, copyright protection, and strong compression performance of the system. The proposed method involves three major steps as follows: (1) embedding of multiple watermarks through non-sub-sampled contourlet transform, redundant discrete wavelet transform, and singular value decomposition; (2) encryption and compression via SHA-256 and Lempel Ziv Welch (LZW), respectively; and (3) extraction/recovery of multiple watermarks from the possibly distorted cover image. The performance estimations are carried out on various images at different attacks, and the efficiency of the system is determined in terms of peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) and normalized correlation (NC), structural similarity index measure (SSIM), number of changing pixel rate (NPCR), unified averaged changed intensity (UACI), and compression ratio (CR). Furthermore, the comparative analysis of the proposed system with similar schemes indicates its superiority to them.
