We use images in several important areas such as military, health, security, and science. Images can be distorted during the capturing, recording, processing, and storing. Image quality metrics are the techniques to measure the quality and quality accuracy level of the images and videos. Most of the quality measurement algorithms does not affect by small distortions in the image. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Computed Tomography (CT), and Ultrasonic Imaging (UI) are widely used in the health sector. Because of several reasons it might be artifacts in the medical images. Doctor decisions might be affected by these image artifacts. Image quality measurement is an important and challenging area to work on. There are several metrics that have been done in the literature such as mean square error, peak signal-noise ratio, gradient similarity measure, structural similarity index, and universal image quality. Patient information can be an embedded corner of the medical image as a watermark. Watermark can be considered one of the image distortions types. The most common objective evaluation algorithms are simple pixel based which are very unreliable, resulting in poor correlation with the human visual system. In this work, we proposed a new image quality metric which is a Measure of Singular Value Decomposition (M-SVD). Experimental results show that novel M-SVD algorithm gives very promising results against Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR), the Mean Square Error (MSE), Structural Similarity Index Measures (SSIM), and 3.4. Universal Image Quality (UIQ) assessments in watermarked and distorted images such as histogram equalization, JPEG compression, Gamma Correction, Gaussian Noise, Image Denoising, and Contrast Change.

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. .

We introduced an improved singular value decomposition (SVD) channel estimation algorithm for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) wireless communication system. The algorithm is supposed to solve the issue that the channel estimation result is not accurate when the training sequences have some 0 elements. The improvement is also applicable in the other channel estimation algorithms. We made some comparisons between the linear least squares (LS) and the linear minimum mean square error (LMMSE) channel estimation, the traditional singular value decomposition and the improved SVD algorithm to demonstrate the efficiency. Results show that the proposed improved SVD algorithm has better performance in mean square error (MSE) and bit error rate (BER) of channel estimation and the estimated values approach the actual channel state.

Watermarking Scheme

This paper proposes “Fusion based watermarking with multi level DWT & singular value decomposition” has been implemented. In watermarking scheme, maintaining security and robustness is major hurdle. To address this issue we proposed a novel non blind embedding scheme with Discrete Wavelet transform (DWT) and Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) techniques. This paper details the design of the proposed watermarking scheme and analyses its robustness in the presence of various possible security attacks that involves in degrading the quality of watermark. In the beginning, the cover image color component (especially Red Component) is decomposed into LL, LH, HL, HH with 2 level DWT: these LH & HL coefficients are further divided into 8*8 blocks and each block is compared to build a fused coefficient. Apply SVD on fused coefficient of cover image and watermark image to embed the singular values with sigmod scaling factor. Finally the watermarked image is generated, after applying inverse SVD & 2 level DWT. At receiver side the inverse process has been implemented to extract watermark image. The efficiency and performance of the proposed method is verified with   Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR), Root mean square error (RMSE) and Mean Square error (MSE) and compared with recent works of santhi [12] and harsha [13].

Abstract In the data collection phase, the digital images are captured using sensors that often contaminated by noise (undesired random signal). In digital image processing task, enhancing the image quality and reducing the noise is a central process. Image denoising effectively preserves the image edges to a higher extend in the flat regions. Several adaptive filters (median filter, Gaussian filter, fuzzy filter, etc.) have been utilized to improve the smoothness of digital image, but these filters failed to preserve the image edges while removing noise. In this paper, a modified fuzzy set filter has been proposed to eliminate noise for restoring the digital image. Usually in fuzzy set filter, sixteen fuzzy rules are generated to find the noisy pixels in the digital image. In modified fuzzy set filter, a set of twenty-four fuzzy rules are generated with additional four pixel locations for determining the noisy pixels in the digital image. The additional eight fuzzy rules ease the process of finding the image pixels,whether it required averaging or not. In this scenario, the input digital images were collected from the underwater photography fish dataset. The efficiency of the modified fuzzy set filter was evaluated by varying degrees of Gaussian noise (0.01, 0.03, and 0.1 levels of Gaussian noise). For performance evaluation, Structural Similarity (SSIM), Mean Structural Similarity (MSSIM), Mean Square Error (MSE), Normalized Mean Square Error (NMSE), Universal Image Quality Index (UIQI), Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR), and Visual Information Fidelity (VIF) were used. The experimental results showed that the modified fuzzy set filter improved PSNR value up to 2-3 dB, MSSIM up to 0.12-0.03, and NMSE value up to 0.38-0.1 compared to the traditional filtering techniques.
