The document proposes a hybrid approach for segmenting brain tumors in MRI images using wavelet and watershed transforms. It begins with applying wavelet transform to produce approximation and detail images for noise reduction. Edge detection is then performed on the approximation image. Watershed transform is applied for initial segmentation at low resolution. Repeated inverse wavelet transform is used to increase the segmented image resolution. Region merging is applied for further segmentation refinement before cropping the tumor area. The results show this coactive wavelet-watershed approach can help achieve accurate tumor segmentation.
Use of Discrete Sine Transform for A Novel Image Denoising TechniqueCSCJournals
In this paper, we propose a new multiresolution image denoising technique using Discrete Sine Transform. Wavelet techniques have been in use for multiresolution image processing. Discrete Cosine Transform is also extensively used for image compression. Similar to the Discrete Wavelet and Discrete Cosine Transform it is now found that Discrete Sine Transform also possess some good qualities for image processing; specifically for image denoising. Algorithm for image denoising using Discrete Sine Transform is proposed with simulation works for experimental verification. The method is computationally efficient and simple in theory and application.
Image Denoising is an important part of diverse image processing and computer vision problems. The
important property of a good image denoising model is that it should completely remove noise as far as
possible as well as preserve edges. One of the most powerful and perspective approaches in this area is
image denoising using discrete wavelet transform (DWT). In this paper, comparison of various Wavelets at
different decomposition levels has been done. As number of levels increased, Peak Signal to Noise Ratio
(PSNR) of image gets decreased whereas Mean Absolute Error (MAE) and Mean Square Error (MSE) get
increased . A comparison of filters and various wavelet based methods has also been carried out to denoise
the image. The simulation results reveal that wavelet based Bayes shrinkage method outperforms other
methods.

The lifting scheme of the discrete wavelet transform
(DWT) is now quite well established as an efficient technique
for image denoising. The lifting scheme factorization of
biorthogonal filter banks is carried out with a linear-adaptive,
delay free and faster decomposition arithmetic. This adaptive
factorization is aimed to achieve a well transparent, more
generalized, complexity free fast decomposition process in
addition to preserve the features that an ordinary wavelet
decomposition process offers. This work is targeted to get
considerable reduction in computational complexity and power
required for decomposition. The hard striking demerits of
DWT structure viz., shift sensitivity and poor directionality
had already been proven to be washed out with an emergence
of dual tree complex wavelet (DT-CWT) structure. The well
versed features of DT-CWT and robust lifting scheme are
suitably combined to achieve an image denoising with prolific
rise in computational speed and directionality, also with a
desirable drop in computation time, power and complexity of
algorithm compared to all other techniques.
Survey Paper on Image Denoising Using Spatial Statistic son PixelIJERA Editor
The classical non-local means image denoising approach, the value of a pixel is determined based on the weighted average of other pixels, where the weights are determined based on a fixed isotropic ally weighted similarity function between the local neighbourhoods. It is demonstrate that noticeably improved perceptual quality can be achieved through the use of adaptive anisotropic ally weighted similarity functions between local neighbourhoods. This is accomplished by adapting the similarity weighing function in an anisotropic manner based on the perceptual characteristics of the underlying image content derived efficiently based on the Mexican Hat wavelet. Experimental results show that the it can be used to provide improved perceptual quality in the denoised image both quantitatively and qualitatively when compared to existing methods.

Survey On Satellite Image Resolution Techniques using Wavelet TransformIJSRD
Satellite images are used in many research fields. The main problem with the satellite images are their low resolution and blurring effects. Thus, in order to use these images, we need to enhance their quality. Thus, in this paper we have described various wavelet transform techniques such as WZP (Wavelet Zero Padding), CS-WZP (Cyclic Spinning WZP), UWT (Undecimated Wavelet Transform) and DWT (Discrete Wavelet Transform). These all are wavelet transform techniques which are used for image resolution enhancement. In these all techniques and algorithms, we give a low resolution image obtained from any satellite image as the input and get a high resolution image as the output. The comparison of these techniques is made based on two factors MSE (Mean Squared Error) and PSNR (Peak Signal to Noise Ratio).
This lecture is about particle image velocimetry technique. It include discussion about the basic element of PIV setup, image capturing, laser lights, synchronize and correlation analysis.
REVIEW ON TRANSFORM BASED MEDICAL IMAGE COMPRESSION cscpconf
Advance medical imaging requires storage of large quantities of digitized clinical data. Due to
the bandwidth and storage limitations, medical images must be compressed before transmission
and storage. Diagnosis is effective only when compression techniques preserve all the relevant
and important image information needed. There are basically two types of image compression:
lossless and lossy. Lossless coding does not permit high compression ratios where as lossy
achieve high compression ratio. Among the existing lossy compression schemes, transform
coding is one of the most effective strategies. In this paper, a review has been made on the
different compression techniques on medical images based on transforms like Discrete Cosine
Transform(DCT), Discrete Wavelet Transform(DWT), Hybrid DCT-DWT and Contourlet
transform. And it has been analyzed that Contourlet transform have superior overall
performance over other transforms in terms of PSNR.
Contourlet Transform Based Method For Medical Image DenoisingCSCJournals
Noise is an important factor of the medical image quality, because the high noise of medical imaging will not give us the useful information of the medical diagnosis. Basically, medical diagnosis is based on normal or abnormal information provided diagnose conclusion. In this paper, we proposed a denoising algorithm based on Contourlet transform for medical images. Contourlet transform is an extension of the wavelet transform in two dimensions using the multiscale and directional filter banks. The Contourlet transform has the advantages of multiscale and time-frequency-localization properties of wavelets, but also provides a high degree of directionality. For verifying the denoising performance of the Contourlet transform, two kinds of noise are added into our samples; Gaussian noise and speckle noise. Soft thresholding value for the Contourlet coefficients of noisy image is computed. Finally, the experimental results of proposed algorithm are compared with the results of wavelet transform. We found that the proposed algorithm has achieved acceptable results compared with those achieved by wavelet transform.

Medical images when infected with high noise densities lose usefulness for diagnosis and early detection purposes. Thresholding neural networks (TNN) with a new class of smooth nonlinear function have been widely used to improve the efficiency of the denoising procedure.

This Paper presents a wavelet-based multiscale products thresholding scheme for noise suppression of magnetic resonance images. This paper proposed a method based on image de-noising and edge enhancement of noisy multidimensional imaging data sets. Medical images are generally suffered from signal dependent noises i.e. speckle noise and broken edges. Most of the noises signals appear from machine and environment generally not contribute to the tissue differentiation. But, the noise generated due to above mentioned reason causes a grainy appearance on the image, hence image enhancement is required. For the intent of image denoising, Adaptive Multiscale Product Thresholding based on 2-D wavelet transform is used. In this method, contiguous wavelet sub bands are multiplied to improve edge structure while reducing noise. In multiscale products, boundaries can be successfully distinguished from noise. Adaptive threshold is designed and forced on multiscale products as an alternative of wavelet coefficients or recognize important features. For the edge enhancement. Canny Edge Detection Algorithm is used with scale multiplication technique. Simulation results shows that the planned technique better suppress the Poisson noise among several noises i.e. salt & pepper, speckle noise and random noise. The Performance of Image Intesification can be estimate by means of PSNR, MSE.

An efficient fusion based up sampling technique for restoration of spatially ...ijitjournal
The various up-sampling techniques available in the literature produce blurring artifacts in the upsampled,
high resolution images. In order to overcome this problem effectively, an image fusion based interpolation technique is proposed here to restore the high frequency information. The Discrete Cosine Transform interpolation technique preserves low frequency information whereas Discrete Sine Transform preserves high frequency information. Therefore, by fusing the DCT and DST based up-sampled images, more high frequency, relevant information of both the up-sampled images can be preserved in the restored,
fused image. The restoration of high frequency information lessens the degree of blurring in the fusedimage and hence improves its objective and subjective quality. Experimental result shows the proposed method achieves a Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR) improvement up to 0.9947dB than DCT interpolation and 2.8186dB than bicubic interpolation at 4:1 compression ratio.
HYBRID APPROACH FOR NOISE REMOVAL AND IMAGE ENHANCEMENT OF BRAIN TUMORS IN MA...acijjournal
In medical image processing, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is one of significant diagnostic
techniques. It provides high quality of important information about the analysis of human soft tissue when
measured with CT imaging modalities; hence it is suitable for diagnosis at best. However, if it gives quality
of information, image may distorted by noise because of image acquisition device and transmission. The
noises in MR image reduces the quality of image and also damages the segmentation task which can lead
to faulty diagnosis. Noises have to reduce at the same time there is no information loss. This paper propose
a hybrid approach to enhance the brain tumor MRI images using combined features of Anisotropic
Diffusion Filter (ADF) with Modified Decision Based Unsymmetric Trimmed Median Filter (MDBUTMF).
ADF scheme provides a superior performance by removing noise while preserving image details and
enhancing edges. MDBUTMF helps in image denoising as well as preserving edges satisfactorily when the
noise level is high. The performance of this filter is evaluated by carrying out a qualitative comparison of
this method with other filters namely, ADF filter, Modified Decision Algorithm, Median filter, MDBUTMF.

The proposed algorithm at the outset models the noisy remote sensing image (NRSI) statistically by aptly amalgamating the structural features and textures from it. This statistical model is decomposed using DTCWT with Tap-10 or length-10 filter banks based on

This threshold value is used with soft thresholding technique to denoise the image .Experimental results shows that that the
proposed technique outperforms the conventional and state-of-the-art techniques .It is also evaluated that the denoised images using DTCWT (Dual Tree Complex Wavelet Transform) is better balance between smoothness and accuracy than the DWT.. We used the PSNR (Peak Signal to Noise Ratio) along with

As medical imaging facilities move towards complete filmless imaging and also generate a large volume of image data through various advance medical modalities, the ability to store, share and transfer images on a cloud-based system is essential for maximizing efficiencies. The major issue that arises in teleradiology is the difficulty of transmitting large volume of medical data with relatively low bandwidth. Image compression techniques have increased the viability by reducing the bandwidth requirement and cost-effective delivery of medical images for primary diagnosis.Wavelet transformation is widely used in the fields of image compression because they allow analysis of images at various levels of resolution and good characteristics. The algorithm what is discussed in this paper employs wavelet toolbox of MATLAB. Multilevel decomposition of the original image is performed by using Haar wavelet transform and then image is quantified and coded based on Huffman technique. The wavelet packet has been applied for reconstruction of the compressed image. The simulation results show that the algorithm has excellent effects in the image reconstruction and better compression ratio and also study shows that valuable in medical image compression on cloud platform.

Image fusion can be defined as the process by which several images or some of their features
are combined together to form a fused image. Its aim is to combine maximum information
from multiple images of the same scene such that the obtained new image is more suitable for
human visual and machine perception or further image processing and analysis tasks. The
fusion of images acquired from dissimilar modalities or instrument has been successfully used
for remote sensing images. The biomedical image fusion plays an important role in analysis
towards clinical application which can support more accurate information for physician to
diagnose different diseases.

Analysis of Efficient Wavelet Based Volumetric Image CompressionCSCJournals
Recently, the wavelet transform has emerged as a cutting edge technology, within the field of image compression research. Telemedicine, among other things, involves storage and transmission of medical images, popularly known as teleradiology. Due to constraints on bandwidth and storage capacity, a medical image may be needed to be compressed before transmission/storage. This paper is focused on selecting the most appropriate wavelet transform for a given type of medical image compression. In this paper we have analysed the behaviour of different type of wavelet transforms with different type of medical images and identified the most appropriate wavelet transform that can perform optimum compression for a given type of medical image. To analyze the performance of the wavelet transform with the medical images at constant PSNR, we calculated SSIM and their respective percentage compression.
A New Approach for Segmentation of Fused Images using Cluster based ThresholdingIDES Editor
This paper proposes the new segmentation technique
with cluster based method. In this, the multi source medical
images like MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging), CT
(computed tomography) & PET (positron emission
tomography) are fused and then segmented using cluster based
thresholding approach. The edge details of an image have
become an essential technique in clinical and researchoriented
applications. The more edge details of the fused image
have obtainable with this method. The objective of the
clustering process is to partition a fused image coefficients
into a number of clusters having similar features. These
features are useful to generate the threshold value for further
segmentation of fused image. Finally the segmented output
is compared with standard FCM method and modified Otsu
method. Experimental results have shown that the proposed
cluster based thresholding method is able to effectively extract
important edge details of fused image.
A Comparative Study of Wavelet and Curvelet Transform for Image DenoisingIOSR Journals
Abstract : This paper describes a comparison of the discriminating power of the various multiresolution based thresholding techniques i.e., Wavelet, curve let for image denoising.Curvelet transform offer exact reconstruction, stability against perturbation, ease of implementation and low computational complexity. We propose to employ curve let for facial feature extraction and perform a thorough comparison against wavelet transform; especially, the orientation of curve let is analysed. Experiments show that for expression changes, the small scale coefficients of curve let transform are robust, though the large scale coefficients of both transform are likely influenced. The reason behind the advantages of curvelet lies in its abilities of sparse representation that are critical for compression, estimation of images which are denoised and its inverse problems, thus the experiments and theoretical analysis coincide . Keywords: Curvelet transform, Face recognition, Feature extraction, Sparse representation Thresholding rules,Wavelet transform..
A Survey on Implementation of Discrete Wavelet Transform for Image Denoisingijbuiiir1
Image Denoising has been a well studied problem in the field of image processing. Images are often received in defective conditions due to poor scanning and transmitting devices. Consequently, it creates problems for the subsequent process to read and understand such images. Removing noise from the original signal is still a challenging problem for researchers because noise removal introduces artifacts and causes blurring of the images. There have been several published algorithms and each approach has its assumptions, advantages, and limitations. This paper deals with using discrete wavelet transform derived features used for digital image texture analysis to denoise an image even in the presence of very high ratio of noise. Image Denoising is devised as a regression problem between the noise and signals, therefore, Wavelets appear to be a suitable tool for this task, because they allow analysis of images at various levels of resolution.

Wavelet transformation based detection of masses in digital mammogramseSAT Journals
Abstract A Novel Wavelet Transformation-Based Detection of Masses in digital mammograms (WTBDM) is proposed in this paper that enables for the early prognosis of breast cancer. The wavelet analysis is explored for analyzing and identifying strong variations in intensities within the mammographic data which highlights and recognizes the masses effectively. The proposed algorithm, in addition to wavelet transformation, uses morphological preprocessing, region properties and seeded region growing to remove the digitization noises, to remove the pectoral muscle and to suppress radiopaque artifacts, thus segmenting the abnormal masses accurately. The combined potential of wavelet and region growing helps for effective mass segmentation that vouches the merit of the proposed technique.

Abstract––The main topic of this work is to segment brain tumors based on a hybrid approach. For tumor segmentation
a coactive approach of wavelet and watershed transform is proposed. If only watershed algorithm be used for
segmentation of image, then over clusters in segmentation is obtained. To solve this, an approach of using wavelet
transformer is proposed to produce initial images, then watershed algorithm is applied for the segmentation of the initial
image, then by using the inverse wavelet transform, the segmented image is projected up to a higher resolution.Even MR
images are noise free, usage of wavelet decomposition involving a low-pass filter decreases the amount of the minute
noise if any in the image and in turn leads to a robust segmentation. The results demonstrate that combining wavelet and
watershed transform can help us to get the high accuracy segmentation for tumor detection.
Keywords––MR image, Region merging, Segmentation, Wavelet, Watershed transform.
I. INTRODUCTION
Brain tumor is one of the most deadly and intractable diseases. A brain tumor can be defined as a disease in which
cells grow uncontrollably in the brain. Brain tumor is basically of two types:
1) Benign tumors
2) Malignant tumors
Benign tumors do not have the ability to spread beyond the brain itself. Benign tumors in the brain have limited
self-growth and it do not to be treated. But they can create problem due to their location and has to be treated as early as
possible.
Malignant tumor is the actual brain cancer. These tumors can even spread outside of the brain rapidly. Malignant
tumors are left almost untreated most of the time as the growth is so fast that it gets too late for the surgeon to control or
operate it. Brain malignancies again of two types:
i) Primary brain cancer originated in the brain.
ii) Secondary or metastatic brain cancer spread to the brain from another site in the body.
Tumors can be benign or malignant. Imaging plays a central role in the diagnosis and treatment planning of brain
tumor. Tumor volume is an important diagnostic indicator in treatment planning and results assessment for brain tumor. The
measurement of brain tumor volume could assist tumor staging for effective treatment surgical planning. Imaging of the
tumors can be done by CT scan,Ultrasound and MRI etc. The MR imaging method is the best due to its higher resolution
(~100 microns). The methods to segment brain tumors are snakes segmentation, level set segmentation, watershed
segmentation, region-growing segmentation etc.
The Watershed segmentation [1] is preferred for its wide range of applications and automatic features.
Preprocessing experiments are carried out to find which type of filtering will be more beneficial. This reduces the effect of
the speckle and preserves the tumor edges: thereby provide the foundation for a successful segmentation. The desired tumor
area is selected from the segmented image to calculate the volume. MR imaging is currently the method of choice for early
detection of brain tumor [2]. However, the interpretation of MRI is largely based on radiologist’s opinion. Computer aided
detection systems can now assist in the detection of suspicious brain lesions and suspicious masses. The task of manually
segmenting brain tumors from MR imaging is generally time consuming and difficult. An automated segmentation method is
desirable because it reduces the load on the operator and generates satisfactory results.
II. OVERVIEW
Basically segmentation deals with dividing an image into distinct regions. In fact each region is equivalent with an
object. There are many approaches to image segmentation such as classifications of edges or regions. Mathematical
morphology (MM) is a powerful tool for image segmentation. Watershed algorithm is based on MM and is a useful tool to
image segmentation but is very sensitive to noise and leads to over segmentation in image. In this work watershed algorithm
is used for image segmentation [3]. Multi resolution technique by wavelet transformer is applied to reduce over segmentation
problems caused by watershed algorithm[4]. Using this method, amount of noise and also the small details will be removed
from image and only large objects will remain. This idea has many advantages in segmentation of barin tumor MR images,
which greatly involve the classification among Malignant and Beningn tumors. In this paper, a collective use of wavelet
transform and watershed transform is proposed , To do this, first the wavelet transform is used for denoising, which in turn

leads to the production of four images, approximation image and detail images, then Sobel operator is applied for the
estimation of edges. Additional edge is eliminated by a threshold then initial segmentation image by applied watershed
transform is obtained. To reach the high resolution in the projected segmented image, the inverse wavelet could be
repeatedly used until we get a resolution segmented image that is similar to the initial image.
III. METHODOLOGY
The diagram of the algorithm is presented in figure 1. In the first step wavelet transform is used for producing
approximation and detail images , then by Sobel mask, approximation image gradient is obtained and additional edge is
eliminated by a threshold then watershed transform is done and the segmented image is projected to high resolution by
inverse wavelet. Region merging is applied in the last phase and cropping of tumor is done.

Step 1: Wavelet Transform
The 1-D DWT can be extended to 2-D transform using separable wavelet filters. With separable filters, applying a
1-D transform to all the rows of the input and then repeating on all of the columns can compute the 2-D transform. When
one-level 2-D DWT is applied to an image, four transform coefficient sets are created. As depicted in Figure 2(c), the four
sets are LL, HL, LH, and HH, where the first letter corresponds to applying either a low pass or high pass filter to the rows,
and the second letter refers to the filter applied to the columns.

applied on row input.
SAMPLE CODING:
The Two-Dimensional DWT (2D-DWT) converts images from spatial domain to frequency domain. At each level
of the wavelet decomposition, each column of an image is first transformed using a 1D vertical analysis filter-bank. The
same filter-bank is then applied horizontally to each row of the filtered and subsampled data. Figure 3 depicts, how wavelet
transform is applied to an MRI brain image by the following code:
input_im = handles.input_im;
[LL LH HL HH] = dwt2(input_im,'haar');
Dec = [LL LH;HL HH];
axes(handles.axes2);
imshow(Dec,[]);
title('DWT Image');
handles.LL = LL;
handles.LH = LH;
handles.HL = HL;

The wavelet transform can describe an image in a different scale, and due to existence of the low pass filter in
wavelet, noise magnitude is reduced. Before using the wavelet, the wavelet function should be determined. To do this, we
used the Haar method, because it requires small computational complexity (linear with respect to the size of the input
image). [7] By applying the wavelet on an image, four images will be produced, that the size of each one is half of the
original image; they are called: HH, HL, LH, and LL. The first and second components correspond to horizontal and vertical
position respectively, and the letter H and L are representing the high and low frequency respectively, (Jung, 2007). Figure 3
demonstrates the output of this

Step 2: Edge Detection and Removal of Additional edge
One of the most fundamental segmentation techniques is edge detection. [1] There are many methods for edge
detection. Convolution of the approximation image is done by Sobel mask.
Step 3: Watershed Transform
In the next step, by applying the watershed transform,[5][6] initial segmentation at the lowest resolution is
obtained. Figure 4 shows the output of Watershed Transform.
Fig 4.Output of Watershed Transform Fig 5. High Resolution Image.
Step 4: Low Resolution to High Resolution Segmented Image
The segmented image has a low resolution with respect to the original image. By applying the inverse wavelet
transform and using detail images, a higher resolution image will be obtained from the segmented image [8]. With repeating
this step, the segmented image and original image will have the same resolution. It should be noticed that before using the
inverse wavelet, only the information of the edge on the details image should be kept [9]. See figure 6 for original and noisy
images. As shown in this figure, there are some pixels which are belong to no region, they are lost pixels. In the next step,
we use an approach for solving this problem.
Step 5: Finding the Lost Pixel
For appointing the lost pixels, the intensity of the lost pixels was compared to the eight non lost neighbors’ pixels
and the intensity difference between lost pixel and non lost neighbor’s pixels are computed.[10] Lost pixel appointed to the
region that has a minimum intensity difference. By repeating the steps 4 and 5, the segmented image will have the same
resolution as the original image.
Step 6: Region Merging
In order to have more reduction of the regions in the high resolution image, region merging was used [12]. It
means that, if the intensity of the two adjacent regions was smaller than a threshold, they will be combined. It will reduce the
number of regions.

Step 7: Image Cropping:
Cropping is the process of selecting desired region from an image that is to be processed [11].The image shows the
desired tumor portion. The cropped tumor set is identified by the regional maxima image obtained through watershed
algorithm. This image is used to calculate the tumor volume for further analysis.

IV. CONCLUSION & FUTURE WORK
This type of segmentation can be used to detect tumor early and provide improved results with the help of coactive
approach. Semantics can be incorporated in region merging phase.This work enables to detect the suspicious region and the
future work would be calculating area and volume of tumor and storing the output in a database so that it can be matched
with the some of the sample which will be pre-stored in a database, so that according to the symptoms and detection of
tumor can be done in improved manner. The future work includes the integration with the concept of ontology that can be
used for better and accurate results.
