Image filtering processes are applied on images to remove the different types of noise that are either present in the image during capturing or introduced into the image during transmission. The salt & pepper (impulse) noise is the one type of noise which is occurred during transmission of the images or due to bit errors or dead pixels in the image contents. The images are blurred due to object movement or camera displacement when we capture the image. This pepper deals with removing the impulse noise and blurredness simultaneously from the images. The hybrid filter is a combination of wiener filter and median filter.

This paper presents the advanced fuzzy decision based median filter for removal of impulse noise present in digital images. The digital images are easily gets disturbed by different types of noises and traditional filters are not able to handle all types of noises present in the digital images. The fuzzy approach is adopted to improve the all other traditional median filters to achieve the optimum performance. This can be seen by adjusting the parameters of fuzzy image filter. The two blocks i.e. of original image and noisy image are taken and the third block can be obtained through the product of these two blocks. The final output image which can be seen as a result of taking mean and median of third block. From the point of view of execution time and PSNR ratios, the image filtering results demonstrates the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed filter.

In this paper, an adaptive edge detection method (Canny operator and Otsu threshold selection based adaptive edge detection method - COAED) is proposed. The COAED method combines a new hybrid filter with Canny operator to avoid the conflict of Canny operator between noise removing and edge locating, and uses Otsu threshold selection method to determine Dual-threshold of Canny operator adaptively. The new hybrid filter firstly judges whether the pixel is polluted by impulse noise, and then uses a corresponding filter to process the current pixel. A median filter is used if the pixel is thought to be impulse noise; otherwise an improved mean filter is selected to weaken the Gaussian noise. After the image is smoothed by the hybrid filter, a Canny operator with small Gaussian variance is used to extract edge. Because only part of Gaussian noise remains, Canny operator with small Gaussian variance can suppress the noise and preserve the edge effectively. Using the gauge image polluted by hybrid noise as experiment object, the performance of COAED method is evaluated qualitatively and quantitatively. Experimental results show that the COAED method is superior to Canny operator.

Magnetic Resonance Image (MRI) is the best imaging technique employed nowadays for diagnosing brain tumour in the initial stage. This paper recommends an unique method for the brain MR image enhancement, that is centred on the Hybrid Center Weighted Median (HCWM) filter and Bacteria Foraging Optimization (BFO). The MR image for this research is obtained from the online and it is pre-processed to remove all the film artifacts. After that the high frequency components are eliminated from the MR brain image by means of a newly proposed HCWM filter. HCWM Filter is the hybrid filter derived by combining the Center Weighted Median Filter and the Weiner Filter. The swarm-based intelligence algorithm called the bacteria foraging optimization is used to predict the weights of the filter dynamically. The performance of the proposed filtering approach is evaluated with the other available filtering methods.

Nowadays, during the process of Image acquisition and transmission, image information data can be corrupted by impulse noise. That noise is classified as salt and pepper noise and random impulse noise depending on the noise values. A median filter is widely used digital nonlinear filter  in edge preservation, removing of impulse noise and smoothing of signals. Median filter is the widely used to remove salt and pepper noise than rank order filter, morphological filter, and unsharp masking filter. The median filter replaces a sample with the middle value among all the samples present inside the sample window. A median filter will be of two types depending on the number of samples processed at the same cycle i.e, bit level architecture and word level architecture.. In this paper, Carry Look-ahead Adder median filter method will be introduced to improve the hardware resources used in median filter architecture for 5 window and 9 window for 8 bit and 16 bit median filter architecture.

Hematological malignancies comprise over a hundred different types of cancers and account for around 6.5% of all cancers. Despite the significant improvements in diagnosis and treatment, many of those cancers remain incurable. In recent years, cancer cell-based therapy has become a promising approach to treat those incurable hematological malignancies with striking results in different clinical trials. The most investigated, and the one that has advanced the most, is the cell-based therapy with T lymphocytes modified with chimeric antigen receptors. Those promising initial results prepared the ground to explore other cell-based therapies to treat patients with blood cancer. In this review, we want to provide an overview of the different types of cell-based therapies in blood cancer, describing them according to the cell source.

If a catalogue were made of terms commonly used to affirm the adequacy of critical interpretations of works of art, one word certain to be included would be “plausible.” Yet this term is one which has received precious little attention in the literature of aesthetics. This is odd, inasmuch as I find the notion of plausibility central to an understanding of the nature of criticism. “Plausible” is a perplexing term because it can have radically different meanings depending on the circumstances of its employment. ln the following discussion, I will make some observations about the logic of this concept in connection with its uses in two rather different contexts: the context of scientific inquiry on the one hand, and that of aesthetic interpretation on the other. In distinguishing separate senses of “plausible,” I shall provide reason to resist the temptation to imagine that because logical aspects of two different types of inquiry—science and criticism—happen to be designated by the same term, they may to that extent be considered to have similar logical structures.
