Image processing technique in general, involves the application of signal processing on the input image for isolating the individual color plane of an image. It plays an important role in the image analysis and computer version. This paper compares the efficiency of two approaches in the area of finding breast cancer in medical image processing. The fundamental target is to apply an image mining in the area of medical image handling utilizing grouping guideline created by genetic algorithm. The parameter using extracted border, the border pixels are considered as population strings to genetic algorithm and Ant Colony Optimization, to find out the optimum value from the border pixels. We likewise look at cost of ACO and GA also, endeavors to discover which one gives the better solution to identify an affected area in medical image based on computational time.

An important requirement for clinical diagnosis and treatment is a platform for medical image processing technique that is more flexible and accurate. An interactive image processing method that can be used as a Computer Aided Detection (CAD) tool for medical image processing is proposed in this paper. The tool is developed in MATLAB to read images of different formats like tif, jpg, DICOM etc. The tool is also capable of displaying information about the loaded image of the selected format, read and save images from and to workspace. In addition to this user can use functional tools like determining the value of pixel in the image, obtain histogram, horizontal and vertical profiles of selected lines of the image, color maps of CT window that include CT bone, CT spine, CT mediastinal, auto adjustment of global intensity and selective intensity, image smoothening, manual and auto thresholding. All the mentioned functions are integrated in Graphical User Interface which is user friendly.


Fruits which grow with high yield in many states of India are rich in proteins. But due to addition of excess pesticides and chemicals intake of these fruits lead to serious health problems. It is necessary to identify the presence of chemical in the fruits before consuming it. In this project we have planned to develop an image processing technique to analyze whether the fruit is free from chemicals and fungus. In our paper, we have implemented MATLAB used as well as fungus present in the fruit. We capture the images of the fruit or we use datasets and train the database with different color-based changes that happen after adding chemicals to the fruit. The enhancement process is carried out in the captured image. Then image is segmented to hit the regions with affected spots in the fruit. K-means method is used to carry out the segmentation process. The input image is compared with the given data set for training to identify the images. In this way unhealthy fruits can be identified and the affected spots in the fruit can be detected.

Image processing methods are used in all areas of research. These methods provide additional information, a better understanding of the object that is being studied. Among the areas of using image processing methods, medicine occupies a special place. Biomedical data allow us to assess human health, to identify diseases in the early stages. Images of cellular structures of cytological preparations are one of the examples of biomedical data. Based on image analysis methods, we can isolate various components of cellular structures of cytological preparations. To do this, we apply the methods of wavelet analysis for different color components of the input image. Applying morphological analysis, we can identify individual cellular structures. The results are shown on the example of images of cellular structures of cytological preparations.


: A basic wheelchair is a gadget for people influenced by moderate, extreme physical incapacities and interminable disease. It is also meant for the elderly people. Many people with disabilities cannot manage the energized wheelchair operating joystick, sound, furthermore, hand developments as it is harder for the individual to do such specific tasks also it is programming focused. This strategy comprises of equipment which reduces the person's work utilizing the image processing method. This model comprised of a camera that tracks the eyeball movement and hence the position of the pupil by the image processing technique. And thereby the wheelchair is constrained by a user’s eye gesture in an indoor space. When the development has been initiated and it is given to the Raspberry pi for processing. The procedure relies on the feed coding and an output is given into the driver circuit. Likewise, the hindrance location sensors will be associated as an Emergency Brake that gives necessary conditions for the conventional activity of the wheelchair framework. Every one of the four wheels are associated with a driving circuit that moves the wheelchair

Image processing comes with various techniques. It uses a series of framework to transform an input image into an output image. In recent times, image processing technique has been extensively used in medical area. In order to overcome the problems of manual diagnosis in identifying the morphology of blood cells, the automated diagnosis is often used. Manual diagnosis required the observation of blood sample by expert hematologist and pathologist. This method may suffer from the presence of non-standard precision of human visual inspection. Due to this problem, this paper focused on semi-automated diagnosis that used image processing technique to perform the segmentation of the nucleus in white blood cell (WBC). Several image processing techniques are used including the active contour method. The results obtained are based on the parameter values obtained from segmentation process. The parameter value is calculated from the roundness equation. The value of 0.80 can be used to describe as a single leukocyte.

One of the advantages of scanning electron microscopy is the capability for processing the image contrast, i.e., the image processing technique. Crewe et al were the first to apply this technique to a field emission scanning microscope and show images of individual atoms. They obtained a contrast which depended exclusively on the atomic numbers of specimen elements (Zcontrast), by displaying the images treated with the intensity ratio of elastically scattered to inelastically scattered electrons. The elastic scattering electrons were extracted by a solid detector and inelastic scattering electrons by an energy analyzer. We noted, however, that there is a possibility of the same contrast being obtained only by using an annular-type solid detector consisting of multiple concentric detector elements.

In earlier times fruits were sorted manually and it was very time consuming and laborious task. Human sorted the fruits of the basis of shape, size and color. Time taken by human to sort the fruits is very large therefore to reduce the time and to increase the accuracy, an automatic classification of fruits comes into existence.To improve this human inspection and reduce time required for fruit sorting an advance technique is developed that accepts information about fruits from their images, and is called as Image Processing Technique.
