Approximate (Inexact) computing is best suitable for the applications where they can accept the results with acceptable loss. We have also introduced three new models of inaccurate 4-2 compressors in this paper, using the current inaccurate 4-2 compressors. All proposed work results are measured in a standard CMOS technology of 90 nm and compared to previously published work. The proposed compressors provide the promised results in terms of error and electrical performance as compared with its counterpart. In order to validate our results, we have also performed image sharpening and image smoothening by using our proposed multipliers. The Structural Similarity Index Matrix (SSIM) of proposed multipliers are measured and interesting results were found.

DVB merupakan standar transmisi televisi digital yang paling banyak digunakan saat ini. Unsur terpenting dari suatu proses transmisi adalah kualitas gambar dari video yang diterima setelah melalui proses transimisi tersebut. Banyak faktor yang dapat mempengaruhi kualitas dari suatu gambar, salah satunya adalah struktur frame dari video. Pada tulisan ini dilakukan pengujian sensitifitas video MPEG-4 berdasarkan struktur frame pada transmisi DVB-T. Pengujian dilakukan menggunakan simulasi matlab dan simulink. Digunakan juga ffmpeg untuk menyediakan format dan pengaturan video akan disimulasikan. Variabel yang diubah dari video adalah bitrate dan juga group-of-pictures (GOP), sedangkan variabel yang diubah dari transmisi DVB-T adalah signal-to-noise-ratio (SNR) pada kanal AWGN di antara pengirim (Tx) dan penerima (Rx). Hasil yang diperoleh dari percobaan berupa kualitas rata-rata gambar pada video yang diukur menggunakan metode pengukuran structural-similarity-index (SSIM). Dilakukan juga pengukuran terhadap jumlah bit-error-rate BER pada bitstream DVB-T. Percobaan yang dilakukan dapat menunjukkan seberapa besar sensitifitas bitrate dan GOP dari video pada transmisi DVB-T dengan kesimpulan semakin besar bitrate maka akan semakin buruk nilai kualitas gambarnya, dan semakin kecil nilai GOP maka akan semakin baik nilai kualitasnya. Penilitian diharapkan dapat dikembangkan menggunakan deep learning untuk memperoleh frame struktur yang tepat di kondisi-kondisi tertentu dalam proses transmisi televisi digital.


Magnetic resonance image noise reduction is important to process further and visual analysis. Bilateral filter is denoises image and also preserves edge. It proposes Iterative bilateral filter which reduces Rician noise in the magnitude magnetic resonance images and retains the fine structures, edges and it also reduces the bias caused by Rician noise. The visual and diagnostic quality of the image is retained. The quantitative analysis is based on analysis of standard quality metrics parameters like peak signal-to-noise ratio and mean structural similarity index matrix reveals that these methods yields better results than the other proposed denoising methods for MRI. Problem associated with the method is that it is computationally complex hence time consuming. It is not recommended for real time applications. To use in real time application a parallel implantation of the same using FPGA is proposed.

Fetal Echocardiography is used for monitoring the fetal heart and for detection of Congenital Heart Disease (CHD). It is well known that fetal cardiac four chamber view has been widely used for preliminary examination for the detection of CHD. The end diastole frame is generally used for the analysis of the fetal cardiac chambers which is manually picked by the clinician during examination/screening. This method is subjected to intra and inter observer errors and also time consuming. The proposed study aims to automate this process by determining the frame, referred to as the Master frame from the cine loop sequences that can be used for the analysis of the fetal heart chambers instead of the clinically chosen diastole frame. The proposed framework determines the correlation between the reference (first) frame with the successive frames to identify one cardiac cycle. Then the Master frame is formed by superimposing all the frames belonging to one cardiac cycle. The master frame is then compared with the clinically chosen diastole frame in terms of fidelity metrics such as Dice coefficient, Hausdorff distance, mean square error and structural similarity index. The average value of the fidelity metrics considering the dataset used for this study 0.73 for Dice, 13.94 for Hausdorff distance, 0.99 for Structural Similarity Index and 0.035 for mean square error confirms the suitability of the proposed master frame extraction thereby avoiding manual intervention by the clinician. .
