Image restoration aims to restore an image from a degraded image. The degradation may occur during image acquisition or image transmission. Image degradation lowers the quality of the image. In this paper additive Gaussian noise is considered for degrading the original image. For restoring the image from degraded image the proposed method used both local and non-local similarity patterns. The restoration problem is modeled with regression model. Two regularization terms are considered for representing prior image information. One regularization term is for local patterns and other is for non-local similarity patterns. The additive local regularization term is used to restore the edges. The non-local regularization term works best for local smoothness and edge information will be lost. The proposed algorithm took a clean image of size 256x256 and added with Gaussian noise with different levels of noise levels. A self-adaptive dictionary is trained for a particular window of image with local and non-local patterns and stacked to three dimensional matrix. The patch size considered for training the dictionary is 10x10. For restoring each patch it searches best atoms form the trained dictionary. The efficiency of the algorithm is estimated by parameters mean square error, root mean square error, PSNR and FSIM. The algorithm is also tested for different images like cameraman, house, Barbara, Lena and parrot. The proposed algorithm is tested with conventional algorithms. .

Aim: Image is the most powerful tool to analyze the information. Sometimes the captured image gets affected with blur and noise in the environment, which degrades the quality of the image. Image restoration is a technique in image processing where the degraded image can be restored or recovered to its nearest original image. Materials and Methods: In this research Lucy-Richardson algorithm is used for restoring blurred and noisy images using MATLAB software. And the proposed work is compared with Wiener filter, and the sample size for each group is 30. Results: The performance was compared based on three parameters, Power Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR), Structural Similarity Index Measure (SSIM), Normalized Correlation (NC). High values of PSNR, SSIM and NC indicate the better performance of restoration algorithms. Lucy-Richardson provides a mean PSNR of 10.4086db, mean SSIM of 0.4173%, and NC of 0.7433% and Wiener filter provides a mean PSNR of 6.3979db, SSIM of 0.3016%, NC of 0.3276%. Conclusion: Based on the experimental results and statistical analysis using independent sample T test, image restoration using Lucy-Richardson algorithm significantly performs better than Wiener filter on restoring the degraded image with PSNR (P<0.001) and SSIM (P<0.001).

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.

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. .

Thyroid ultrasonography is the most common and extremely useful, safe, and cost effective way to image the thyroid gland and its pathology. However, an inherent characteristic of Ultrasound (US) imaging is the presence of multiplicative speckle noise. Speckle noise reduces the ability of an observer to distinguish fine details, make diagnosis more difficult. It limits the effective implementation of image analysis steps such as edge detection, segmentation and classification. The main objective of this study is to compare the performance of various spatial and frequency domain filters so as to identify efficient and optimum filter for de-speckling Thyroid US images. The performance of these filters is evaluated using the image quality assessment parameters Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR), Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR), Structural Similarity Index (SSIM), Mean Square Error (MSE) and Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) for different speckle variance. Experimental work revealed that kuan filter resulted in higher PSNR, SNR, SSIM and least MSE, RMSE values compared to other filters

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.

Compression Artifacts

Since high quality realistic media are widely used in various computer vision applications, image compression is one of the essential technologies to enable real-time applications. Image compression generally causes undesired compression artifacts, such as blocking artifacts and ringing effects. In this study, we propose a densely cascading image restoration network (DCRN), which consists of an input layer, a densely cascading feature extractor, a channel attention block, and an output layer. The densely cascading feature extractor has three densely cascading (DC) blocks, and each DC block contains two convolutional layers, five dense layers, and a bottleneck layer. To optimize the proposed network architectures, we investigated the trade-off between quality enhancement and network complexity. Experimental results revealed that the proposed DCRN can achieve a better peak signal-to-noise ratio and structural similarity index measure for compressed joint photographic experts group (JPEG) images compared to the previous methods.

Hybrid Renewable Energy System

The prediction accuracy of support vector regression (SVR) is highly influenced by a kernel function. However, its performance suffers on large datasets, and this could be attributed to the computational limitations of kernel learning. To tackle this problem, this paper combines SVR with the emerging Harris hawks optimization (HHO) and particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithms to form two hybrid SVR algorithms, SVR-HHO and SVR-PSO. Both the two proposed algorithms and traditional SVR were applied to load forecasting in four different states of Nigeria. The correlation coefficient (R), coefficient of determination (R2), mean square error (MSE), root mean square error (RMSE), and mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) were used as indicators to evaluate the prediction accuracy of the algorithms. The results reveal that there is an increase in performance for both SVR-HHO and SVR-PSO over traditional SVR. SVR-HHO has the highest R2 values of 0.9951, 0.8963, 0.9951, and 0.9313, the lowest MSE values of 0.0002, 0.0070, 0.0002, and 0.0080, and the lowest MAPE values of 0.1311, 0.1452, 0.0599, and 0.1817, respectively, for Kano, Abuja, Niger, and Lagos State. The results of SVR-HHO also prove more advantageous over SVR-PSO in all the states concerning load forecasting skills. This paper also designed a hybrid renewable energy system (HRES) that consists of solar photovoltaic (PV) panels, wind turbines, and batteries. As inputs, the system used solar radiation, temperature, wind speed, and the predicted load demands by SVR-HHO in all the states. The system was optimized by using the PSO algorithm to obtain the optimal configuration of the HRES that will satisfy all constraints at the minimum cost.

Abstract The image restoration (IR) technique is a part of image processing to improve the quality of an image that is affected by noise and blur. Thus, IR is required to attain a better quality of image. In this paper, IR is performed using linear regression-based support vector machine (LR-SVM). This LR-SVM has two steps: training and testing. The training and testing stages have a distinct windowing process for extracting blocks from the images. The LR-SVM is trained through a block-by-block training sequence. The extracted block-by-block values of images are used to enhance the classification process of IR. In training, the imperfections on the image are easily identified by setting the target vectors as the original images. Then, the noisy image is given at LR-SVM testing, based on the original image restored from the dictionary. Finally, the image block from the testing stage is enhanced using the hybrid Laplacian of Gaussian (HLOG) filter. The denoising of the HLOG filter provides enhanced results by using block-by-block values. This proposed approach is named as LR-SVM-HLOG. A dataset used in this LR-SVM-HLOG method is the Berkeley Segmentation Database. The performance of LR-SVM-HLOG was analyzed as peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) and structural similarity index. The PSNR values of the house and pepper image (color image) are 40.82 and 36.56 dB, respectively, which are higher compared to the inter- and intra-block sparse estimation method and block matching and three-dimensional filtering for color images at 20% noise.
