Different Types

One of the most important areas in image processing is medical image processing where the quality of the images has become an important issue. Most of the medical images are corrupted with the visual noise, and one of the such images is echocardiography image where this effect is more. So, this research aims to denoise the echocardiography image with fractal wavelet transform and to compare its performance with other wavelet based algorithm like hard thresholding, soft thresholding and wiener filter. Initially, the image is corrupted by the Gaussian noise with varying noise variances and is denoised using above mentioned different wavelet based denoising techniques. On comparison of the obtained results, it is observed that the fractal wavelet transform is well suited for highly degraded echocardiography images in terms of Mean Square Error (MSE) and Peak Signal To Noise Ratio (PSNR) than other wavelet based denoising methods. Further, the work could be enhanced to denoise the echocardiography image corrupted by other different types of noise. This research is limited to denoise the echocardiography image corrupted with Gaussian noise only.

The Ideal

Signal Processing utilizes scientific investigation and calculations to separate data concealed in signal got from different types of sensors. The Biomedical Signals are defiled by commotion and artifacts. In numerous applications, the ideal signal is not accessible or recognizable straightforwardly. The signal assessment issue is to recuperate in the most ideal manner conceivable, the ideal signal from its debased copy. When obtaining EEG (Electroencephalogram) evoked potentials from scalp electrodes, background activity and other noise is added to the signal. The Wavelet Transform system of estimation surpasses the SNR(Signal to Noise Ratio) by a huge value in just about one sweep of EP(Evoked Potential). The two diverse wavelet Transform systems, Daubechies wavelet transform and Biorthogonal wavelet transform have been discussed in this paper to improve SNR.

The Difference

Recently, the wavelet transform has emerged as a cutting edge technology, within the field of image compression research. The basis functions of the wavelet transform are known as wavelets. There are a variety of different wavelet functions to suit the needs of different applications. Among the most popular wavelets are Haar, Daubechies, Coiflet and Biorthogonal, etc. The best wavelets (functions) for medical image compression are widely unknown. The purpose of this paper is to examine and compare the difference in impact and quality of a set of wavelet functions (wavelets) to image quality for implementation in a digitized still medical image compression with different modalities. We used two approaches to the measurement of medical image quality: objectively, using peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR) and subjectively, using perceived image quality. Finally, we defined an optimal wavelet filter for each modality of medical image.

Background: In this paper, we propose a secure image watermarking technique which is applied to grayscale and color images. It consists in applying the SVD (Singular Value Decomposition) in the Lifting Wavelet Transform domain for embedding a speech image (the watermark) into the host image. Methods: It also uses signature in the embedding and extraction steps. Its performance is justified by the computation of PSNR (Pick Signal to Noise Ratio), SSIM (Structural Similarity), SNR (Signal to Noise Ratio), SegSNR (Segmental SNR) and PESQ (Perceptual Evaluation Speech Quality). Results: The PSNR and SSIM are used for evaluating the perceptual quality of the watermarked image compared to the original image. The SNR, SegSNR and PESQ are used for evaluating the perceptual quality of the reconstructed or extracted speech signal compared to the original speech signal. Conclusion: The Results obtained from computation of PSNR, SSIM, SNR, SegSNR and PESQ show the performance of the proposed technique.

The image registration is a very important task in image processing. In the field of medical imaging, it is used to compare the anatomical structures of two or more images taken at different time to track for example the evolution of a disease. Intensity-based techniques are widely used in the multi-modal registration. To have the best registration, a cost function expressing the similarity between these images is maximized. The registration problem is reduced to the optimization of a cost function. We propose to use neighborhood meta-heuristics (tabu search, simulated annealing) and a meta-heuristic population (genetic algorithms). An evaluation step is necessary to estimate the quality of registration obtained. In this paper we present some results of medical image registration

Recent year’s witnessed a huge revolution for developing an automated diagnosis for different disease such as cancer using medical image processing. Many researches have been dedicated to achieve this goal. Analyzing medical microscopic histology images provide us with large information about the status of patient and the progress of diseases, help to determine if the tissue have any pathological changes. Automation of the diagnosis of these images will lead to better, faster and enhanced diagnosis for different hematological and histological tissue images such as cancer. This paper propose an automated methodology for analyzing cancer histology and hematology microscopic images to detect leukemia using image processing by combining two diagnosis procedures initial and advance; the initial diagnosis depend on the percentage of the white blood cells in microscopic images affected by leukemia as indicator for the existence of leukemia in the blood smear sample. Whereas, the advance diagnosis classifying the leukemia according into different types using feature bag classifier. The experimental results showed that the proposed methodology initial diagnosis is able to detect leukemia images and differentiate it from samples that do not have leukemia. While, advance diagnosis it is able to detect and classify most leukemia types and differentiate between acute and chronic, but in some cases in the chronic leukemia where the percent of blast cells and shape are similar; it gave a diagnosis of the type of leukemia to the most similar type.

Complex Wavelet

Wavelet based denoising is an effective way to improve the quality of images. Various methods have been proposed for denoising using real-valued wavelet transform. Complex valued wavelets exist but are rarely used. The complex wavelet transform provides phase information and it is shift invariant in nature. In medical image denoising, both removal of phase incoherency as well as maintaining the phase coherency are needed. This paper is an attempt to explore and apply the complex Daubechies wavelet transform for medical image denoising. We have proposed a method to compute a complex threshold, which does not depend on any assumed model of noise. In this sense this is a "universal" method. The proposed complex-domain shrinkage function depends on mean, variance and median of wavelet coefficients. To test the effectiveness of the proposed method, we have computed the input and output SNR and PSNR of various types of medical images. The method gives an improvement for Gaussian additive, Speckle and Salt-&-Pepper noise as well as for the mixture of these noise types for a range of noisy images with 15 db to 30 db noise levels and outperforms other real-valued wavelet transform based methods. The application of the proposed method to Ultrasound, X-ray and MRI images is demonstrated in the experiments.

In this paper, we present a distributed collaborative system assisting physicians in diagnosis when processing medical images. This is a Web-based solution since the different participants and resources are on various sites. It is collaborative because these participants (physicians, radiologists, knowledgebasesdesigners, program developers for medical image processing, etc.) can work collaboratively to enhance the quality of programs and then the quality of the diagnosis results. It is intelligent since it is a knowledge-based system including, but not only, a knowledge base, an inference engine said supervision engine and ontologies. The current work deals with the osteoporosis detection in bone radiographies. We rely on program supervision techniques that aim to automatically plan and control complex software usage. Our main contribution is to allow physicians, who are not experts in computing, to benefit from technological advances made by experts in image processing, and then to efficiently use various osteoporosis detection programs in a distributed environment.

Magnetic resonance (MR) images are often contaminated by Gaussian noise, an electronic noise caused by the random thermal motion of electronic components, which reduces the quality and reliability of the images. This paper puts forward a hybrid denoising algorithm for MR images based on two sparsely represented morphological components and one residual part. To begin with, decompose a noisy MR image into the cartoon, texture, and residual parts by MCA, and then each part is denoised by using Wiener filter, wavelet hard threshold, and wavelet soft threshold, respectively. Finally, stack up all the denoised subimages to obtain the denoised MR image. The experimental results show that the proposed method has significantly better performance in terms of mean square error and peak signal-to-noise ratio than each method alone.
