Medical image segmentation is a very important field for the medical science. In medical images, edge detection is an important work for object recognition of the human organs such as brain, heart or kidney etc. and it is an essential pre-processing step in medical image segmentation.
Medical images such as CT, MRI or X-Ray visualizes the various information’s of internal organs which is very important for doctors diagnoses as well as medical teaching, learning and research.
It is a tough job to locate the internal organs if images contains noise or rough structure of human body organs.
An evaluation of two popular segmentation algorithms, the mean shift-based segmentation algorithm and a graph-based segmentation scheme. We also consider a hybrid method which combines the other two methods.
REGION CLASSIFICATION BASED IMAGE DENOISING USING SHEARLET AND WAVELET TRANSF...csandit
This paper proposes a neural network based region classification technique that classifies
regions in an image into two classes: textures and homogenous regions. The classification is
based on training a neural network with statistical parameters belonging to the regions of
interest. An application of this classification method is applied in image denoising by applying
different transforms to the two different classes. Texture is denoised by shearlets while
homogenous regions are denoised by wavelets. The denoised results show better performance
than either of the transforms applied independently. The proposed algorithm successfully
reduces the mean square error of the denoised result and provides perceptually good results.

Frequency Domain Blockiness and Blurriness Meter for Image Quality AssessmentCSCJournals
Image and video compression introduces distortions (artefacts) to the coded image. The most prominent artefacts added are blockiness and blurriness. Many existing quality meters are normally distortion-specific. This paper proposes an objective quality meter for quantifying the combined blockiness and blurriness distortions in frequency domain. The model first applies edge detection and cancellation, then spatial masking to mimic the characteristics of the human visual system. Blockiness is then estimated by transforming image into frequency domain, followed by finding the ratio of harmonics to other AC components. Blurriness is determined by comparing the high frequency coefficients of the reference and coded images due to the fact that blurriness reduces the high frequency coefficients. Then, both blockiness and blurriness distortions are combined for a single quality metric. The meter is tested on blocky and blurred images from the LIVE image database, with a correlation coefficient of 95-96%.
IMAGE SEGMENTATION BY USING THRESHOLDING TECHNIQUES FOR MEDICAL IMAGEScseij
Image binarization is the process of separation of pixel values into two groups, black as background and
white as foreground. Thresholding can be categorized into global thresholding and local thresholding. This
paper describes a locally adaptive thresholding technique that removes background by using local mean
and standard deviation. Most common and simplest approach to segment an image is using thresholding.
In this work we present an efficient implementation for threshoding and give a detailed comparison of
Niblack and sauvola local thresholding algorithm. Niblack and sauvola thresholding algorithm is
implemented on medical images. The quality of segmented image is measured by statistical parameters:
Jaccard Similarity Coefficient, Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR).
Comparison of Segmentation Algorithms and Estimation of Optimal Segmentation ...Pinaki Ranjan Sarkar
Recent advancement in sensor technology allows very high spatial resolution along with multiple spectral bands. There are many studies, which highlight that Object Based Image Analysis(OBIA) is more accurate than pixel-based classification for high resolution(< 2m) imagery. Image segmentation is a crucial step for OBIA and it is a very formidable task to estimate optimal parameters for segmentation as it does not have any unique solution. In this paper, we have studied different segmentation algorithms (both mono-scale and multi-scale) for different terrain categories and showed how the segmented output depends on upon various parameters. Later, we have introduced a novel method to estimate optimal segmentation parameters. The main objectives of this study are to highlight the effectiveness of presently available segmentation techniques on very high-resolution satellite data and to automate segmentation process. Pre-estimation of segmentation parameter is more practical and efficient in OBIA. Assessment of segmentation algorithms and estimation of segmentation parameters are examined based on the very high-resolution multi-spectral WorldView-3(0.3m, PAN sharpened) data.

Comparative Study and Analysis of Image Inpainting TechniquesIOSR Journals
Abstract: Image inpainting is a technique to fill missing region or reconstruct damage area from an image.It
removes an undesirable object from an image in visually plausible way.For filling the part of image, it use
information from the neighboring area. In this dissertation work, we present a Examplar based method for
filling in the missing information in an image, which takes structure synthesis and texture sysnthesis together.
In exemplar based approach it used local information from an image to patch propagation.We have also
implement Nonlocal Mean approach for exemplar based image inpainting.In Nonlocal mean approach it find
multiple samples of best exemplar patches for patch propagation and weight their contribution according to
their similarity to the neighborhood under evaluation. We have further extended this algorithm by considering
collaborative filtering method to synthesize and propagate with multiple samples of best exemplar patches. We
have to preformed experiment on many images and found that our algorithm successfully inpaint the target
region.We have tested the accuracy of our algorithm by finding parameter like PSNR and compared PSNR
value for all three different approaches.

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 STUDY AND ANALYSIS OF DIFFERENT EDGE DETECTION TECHNIQUEScscpconf
In the first study [1], a combination of K-means, watershed segmentation method, and Difference In Strength (DIS) map were used to perform image segmentation and edge detection
tasks. We obtained an initial segmentation based on K-means clustering technique. Starting from this, we used two techniques; the first is watershed technique with new merging
procedures based on mean intensity value to segment the image regions and to detect their boundaries. The second is edge strength technique to obtain accurate edge maps of our images without using watershed method. In this technique: We solved the problem of undesirable over segmentation results produced by the watershed algorithm, when used directly with raw data images. Also, the edge maps we obtained have no broken lines on entire image. In the 2nd study level set methods are used for the implementation of curve/interface evolution under various forces. In the third study the main idea is to detect regions (objects) boundaries, to isolate and extract individual components from a medical image. This is done using an active contours to detect regions in a given image, based on techniques of curve evolution, Mumford–Shah functional for segmentation and level sets. Once we classified our images into different intensity regions based on Markov Random Field. Then we detect regions whose boundaries are not necessarily defined by gradient by minimize an energy of Mumford–Shah functional forsegmentation, where in the level set formulation, the problem becomes a mean-curvature which will stop on the desired boundary. The stopping term does not depend on the gradient of the image as in the classical active contour. The initial curve of level set can be anywhere in the image, and interior contours are automatically detected. The final image segmentation is one
closed boundary per actual region in the image.

Improving Performance of Texture Based Face Recognition Systems by Segmenting...IDES Editor
Textures play an important role in recognition of
images. This paper investigates the efficiency of performance
of three texture based feature extraction methods for face
recognition. The methods for comparative study are Grey Level
Co_occurence Matrix (GLCM), Local Binary Pattern (LBP)
and Elliptical Local Binary Template (ELBT). Experiments
were conducted on a facial expression database, Japanese
Female Facial Expression (JAFFE). With all facial expressions
LBP with 16 vicinity pixels is found to be a better face
recognition method among the tested methods. Experimental
results show that classification based on segmenting face
region improves recognition accuracy.
ROLE OF HYBRID LEVEL SET IN FETAL CONTOUR EXTRACTIONsipij
Image processing technologies may be employed for quicker and accurate diagnosis in analysis and
feature extraction of medical images. Here, existing level set algorithm is modified and it is employed for
extracting contour of fetus in an image. In traditional approach, fetal parameters are extracted manually
from ultrasound images. An automatic technique is highly desirable to obtain fetal biometric measurements
due to some problems in traditional approach such as lack of consistency and accuracy. The proposed
approach utilizes global & local region information for fetal contour extraction from ultrasonic images.
The main goal of this research is to develop a new methodology to aid the analysis and feature extraction.
Remote sensing image fusion using contourlet transform with sharp frequency l...Zac Darcy
This paper addresses four different aspects of the remote sensing image fusion: i) image fusion method, ii)
quality analysis of fusion results, iii) effects of image decomposition level, and iv) importance of image
registration. First, a new contourlet-based image fusion method is presented, which is an improvement
over the wavelet-based fusion. This fusion method is then utilized withinthe main fusion process to analyze
the final fusion results. Fusion framework, scheme and datasets used in the study are discussed in detail.
Second, quality analysis of the fusion results is discussed using various quantitative metrics for both spatial
and spectral analyses. Our results indicate that the proposed contourlet-based fusion method performs
better than the conventional wavelet-based fusion methodsin terms of both spatial and spectral analyses.
Third, we conducted an analysis on the effects of the image decomposition level and observed that the
decomposition level of 3 produced better fusion results than both smaller and greater number of levels.
Last, we created four different fusion scenarios to examine the importance of the image registration. As a
result, the feature-based image registration using the edge features of the source images produced better
fusion results than the intensity-based imageregistration.
Image enhancement technique plays vital role in improving the quality of the image. Enhancement
technique basically enhances the foreground information and retains the background and improve the
overall contrast of an image. In some case the background of an image hides the structural information of
an image. This paper proposes an algorithm which enhances the foreground image and the background
part separately and stretch the contrast of an image at inter-object level and intra-object level and then
combines it to an enhanced image. The results are compared with various classical methods using image
quality measures
Study of Image Inpainting Technique Based on TV Modelijsrd.com
This paper is related with an image inpainting method by which we can reconstruct a damaged or missing portion of an image. A fast image inpainting algorithm based on TV (Total variational) model is proposed on the basis of analysis of local characteristics, which shows the more information around damaged pixels appears, the faster the information diffuses. The algorithm first stratifies and filters the pixels around damaged region according to priority, and then iteratively inpaint the damaged pixels from outside to inside on the grounds of priority again. By using this algorithm inpainting speed of the algorithm is faster and greater impact.

the centrifugal pump . The contours of the static pressure of the blade, hub, and shroud indicates negative low
static pressure in the suction side at high rotational speed (over operation limits )and the static pressure
increases gradually until reach maximum value at the leading edge (6×105 Pa) of the blade.
Analysis of Interfacial Microsstructure of Post Weld Heat Treated Dissimilar ...IOSR Journals
In Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor (PFBR), the main vessel which contains the primary sodium and supports the
core is suspended from the roof slab. The materials for construction for main vessel and roof slab are type 316LN austenitic
stainless steel and Carbon steel of grade A48P2, respectively. As the materials of construction are different, a transition joint
between austenitic stainless steel and C-steel is necessary. In this investigation the effect of post-weld heat treatment (PWHT) on the interfacial microstructure of as-welded and PWHTed type 316LN/C-steel joint welded with Inconel 182 was investigated. These joints were PWHTed to various temperatures between 898 to 973K for 1h and results were evaluated. From the above results, different methods to temper the martensitic structure or to change to an equilibrium structure without PWHT are also presented.

The detection and measurement of radionuclides in feed coal, bottom ash and fly ash samples collected from Barapukuria 2×125 MW coal-fired thermal power plant in Dinajpur district of Bangladesh, have been performed by gamma ray spectrometry technique. The average activity concentrations of 226Ra, 232Th and 40K in feed coal, bottom ash and fly ash samples were 10.46±5.24, 23.50±10.88 and 232.23±131.94 Bqkg-1; 56.91±2.77, 69.22±4.26 and 189.79±64.65 Bqkg-1; and 70.91±2.90, 115.26±5.79 and 205.53±65.56 Bqkg-1; respectively. These measured values were compared with other literature values. The calculated absorbed dose rates were found higher than the worldwide average values for both the bottom ash and fly ash samples. Moreover, the radium equivalent activity in all the samples was less than 370 Bqkg-1 and external hazard indices were less than unity (except in FA-1). Therefore, there is no probability of immediate health effect on workers and public due to natural radioactivity present in the samples.
Implementation of Mobile Banking in Bangladesh: Opportunities and ChallengesIOSR Journals
ABSTRACT:Mobile banking is a newly added service in the banking sector that facilitates banking via mobile devices. With the tremendous growth in mobile phone usage, banks in the developed world have moved to utilize mobile banking, which makes banking easier, faster, and very cost-effective. Mobile phones have quickly emerged as a successful and popular means of communication in recent years and the researchers believe that growth of mobile banking in Bangladesh is inevitable, especially when banks do not have sufficient number of branches in the rural areas of Bangladesh. The purpose of this research is to assess the Opportunities and Challenges of mobile banking in this country. To accomplish this empirical study, multiple banks have been surveyed which either currently have an operational mobile banking in place or planning to introduce one in the near future. The research shows tremendous potential for mobile banking in Bangladesh and reveals some of the key barriers of progress as well. KEYWORDS:Banking Sector, Mobile banking, Mobile Phone, Rural Areas, Telecommunication.

Enhanced Optimization of Edge Detection for High Resolution Images Using Veri...ijcisjournal
dge Detection plays a crucial role in Image Processing and Segmentation where a set of algorithms aims
to identify various portions of a digital image at which a sharpened image is observed in the output or
more formally has discontinuities. The contour of Edge Detection also helps in Object Detection and
Recognition. Image edges can be detected by using two attributes such as Gradient and Laplacian. In our
Paper, we proposed a system which utilizes Canny and Sobel Operators for Edge Detection which is a
Gradient First order derivative function for edge detection by using Verilog Hardware Description
Language and in turn compared with the results of the previous paper in Matlab. The process of edge
detection in Verilog significantly reduces the processing time and filters out unneeded information, while
preserving the important structural properties of an image. This edge detection can be used to detect
vehicles in Traffic Jam, Medical imaging system for analysing MRI, x-rays by using Xilinx ISE Design

Image Segmentation Using Pairwise Correlation ClusteringIJERA Editor
A pairwise hypergraph based image segmentation framework is formulated in a supervised manner for various images. The image segmentation is to infer the edge label over the pairwise hypergraph by maximizing the normalized cuts. Correlation clustering which is a graph partitioning algorithm, was shown to be effective in a number of applications such as identification, clustering of documents and image segmentation.The partitioning result is derived from a algorithm to partition a pairwise graph into disjoint groups of coherent nodes. In the pairwise correlation clustering, the pairwise graph which is used in the correlation clustering is generalized to a superpixel graph where a node corresponds to a superpixel and a link between adjacent superpixels corresponds to an edge. This pairwise correlation clustering also considers the feature vector which extracts several visual cues from a superpixel, including brightness, color, texture, and shape. Significant progress in clustering has been achieved by algorithms that are based on pairwise affinities between the datasets. The experimental results are shown by calculating the typical cut and inference in an undirected graphical model and datasets.
Abstract Edge detection is a fundamental tool used in most image processing applications. We proposed a simple, fast and efficient technique to detect the edge for the identifying, locating sharp discontinuities in an image and boundary of an image. In this paper, we found that proposed method called LookUp Table performs well, which requires least computational time as compared to conventional Edge Detection techniques. And also in this paper we presented a comparative performance of various conventional Edge Detection Techniques. Keywords: Edge detectors, Lookup table.

There were so many methods for the edge detection, sobel is the one of the method, by using this sobel operator or median filtering, salt and pepper noise cannot be removed properly, so firstly we use complex wavelet to remove noise and sobel operator is used to do edge detection on the image. Through the pictures obtained by the experiment, we can observe that compared to other methods, the method has more obvious effect on edge detection.
Comparative Analysis of Common Edge Detection Algorithms using Pre-processing...IJECEIAES
Edge detection is the process of segmenting an image by detecting discontinuities in brightness. Several standard segmentation methods have been widely used for edge detection. However, due to inherent quality of images, these methods prove ineffective if they are applied without any preprocessing. In this paper, an image pre-processing approach has been adopted in order to get certain parameters that are useful to perform better edge detection with the standard edge detection methods. The proposed preprocessing approach involves median filtering to reduce the noise in image and then edge detection technique is carried out. Finally, Standard edge detection methods can be applied to the resultant pre-processing image and its Simulation results are show that our pre-processed approach when used with a standard edge detection method enhances its performance.
A Novel Edge Detection Technique for Image Classification and AnalysisIOSR Journals
Abstract: The main aim of this project is to propose a new method for image segmentation. Image
Segmentation is concerned with splitting an image up into segments (also called regions or areas) that each
holds some property distinct from their neighbor. Simply, another word for the Object Detection is
“Segmentation “. Segmentation is divided into two types they are Supervised Segmentation and Unsupervised
Segmentation. Segmentation consists of three types of methods which are divided on the basis of threshold, edge
and region. Thresholding is a commonly used enhancement whose goal is to segment an image into object and
background. Edge-based segmentations rely on edges found in an image by edge detecting operators. Region
based segmentations basic idea is to divide an image into zones of maximum homogeneity, where homogeneity
is an important property of regions. Edge detection has been a field of fundamental importance in digital image
processing research. Edge can be defined as a pixels located at points where abrupt changes in gray level take
place in this paper one novel approach for edge detection in gray scale images, which is based on diagonal
pixels in 2*2 region of the image, is proposed. This method first uses a threshold value to segment the image
and binary image. And then the proposed edge detector. In order to validate the results, seven different
kinds of test images are considered to examine the versatility of the proposed edge detector. It has been
observed that the proposed edge detector works effectively for different gray scale digital images. The results of
this study are quite promising. In this project we proposed a new algorithm for edge Detection. The main
advantage of this algorithm is with running mask on the original image we can detect the edges in the images by
using the proposed scheme for edge detection.
Keywords: Edge detection, segmentation, thresholding.

Abstract:Boundary detection is essential for a variety of computer vision tasks such as segmentation and
recognition. We propose a unified formulation for boundary detection, with closed-form solution, which is
applicable to the localization of different types of boundaries, such as intensity edges and occlusion boundaries
from video and RGB-D cameras. Our algorithm simultaneously combines low- and mid-level image
representations, in a single eigenvalue problem, and we solve over an infinite set of putative boundary
orientations. Moreover, our method achieves state of the art results at a significantly lower computational cost
than current methods. We also propose a novel method for soft-segmentation that can be used in conjunction
with our boundary detection algorithm and improve its accuracy at a negligible extra computational cost.
Keywords:boubdary, edges, localization, segmentation
I. Introduction
The field of image processing is broad and contains many interesting applications. Some ofthe common
image processing areas are image restoration, compression, and segmentation.Many times, the size of the raw
data for the images can require gigabytes of data storage.Researchers have developed routines to compress an
image into a reversible form to savestorage space. In this area, there are methods for the compression via
wavelets,using general compression schemes that are applicable to any type of file, and methods whichallow
some loss of data.
The area of segmentation distinguishes objects from the background in an image. This is particular
useful for satellite imagery from an intelligence standpoint. It isalso useful for identification purpose by using
facial imagery in a database. Segmentation isused in robotics, where it is important to locate the correct objects
to move or manipulate.Another area of image processing is image restoration. In image restoration, a
distortedimage is restored to its’ original form. This distortion is typically caused by noise in transmission, lens
calibration, motion of the camera, or age of the original source of the image.We focus on image restoration in
this dissertation.
II. Methodology
Boundary detection is a fundamental computer vision problem that is essential for a variety of tasks,
such as contour and region segmentation, symmetry detection and object recognition and categorization. We
propose a generalized formulation for boundary detection, with closed-form solution, applicable to the
localization of different types of boundaries, such as object edges in natural images and occlusion boundaries
from video. Our generalized boundary detection method (Gb) simultaneously combines low-level and mid-level
image representations in a single eigenvalue problem and solves for the optimal continuous boundary
orientation and strength. The closed-form solution to boundary detection enables our algorithm to achieve state
of the art results at a significantly lower computational cost than current methods. We also propose two
complementary novel components that can seamlessly be combined with Gb: first, we introduce a soft-
segmentation procedure that provides region input layers to our boundary detection algorithm for a significant
improvement in accuracy, at negligible computational cost; second, we present an efficient method for contour
grouping and reasoning, which when applied as a final post-processing stage, further increases the boundary
detection performance.
Following are the areas of application of segmentation and recognition in images:
1. Digital library: For maintenance of images in large database.
2. Image modification: Useful under modification of information’s in images.
3. Cinematographic applications: For enhancing the image information in movievideo clips.
Our proposed step/ramp boundary model can be seen in different layers of real-world images. Left: A step
is often visible in the low-level color channels. Middle: In some cases, no step is visible in the color channels
yet the edge is clearly present in the output of a soft segmentation method. Right: In video, moving boundaries

are often seen in the optical flow layer. More generally, a strong perceptual boundary at a given location may be
visible in several layers, with consistent orientation across layers. Our multi-layer ramp model covers all these
cases.
The first category is connected component-based method, which can locate image quickly but have
difficulties when image is embedded in complex background or touches other graphical objects.
The second category is texture-based, which is hard to find accurate boundaries of image areas and
usually yields many false alarms in “image-like” background texture areas.
The third category is edge-based method. Generally, analyzing the projection profiles of edge intensity
maps can decompose regions and can efficiently predict the image from a given video image clip.
Image region usually have a special texture because they consist of identical character components.
These components contrast the background and have a periodic horizontal intensity variation due to the
horizontal alignment of many characters. As a result, text regions can be segmented using texture feature.
III. Edge Detection For Images
Edges are boundaries between different textures. Edge also can be defined as discontinuities in image
intensity from one pixel to another. The edges for an image are always the important characteristics that offer an
indication for a higher frequency. Detection of edges for an image may help for image segmentation, data
compression, and also help for well matching, such as image reconstruction and so on.
There are many methods to make edge detection. The most common method for edge detection is to
calculate the differentiation of an image. The first-order derivatives in an image are computed using the
gradient, and the second-order derivatives are obtained using the Laplacian. Another method for edge detection
uses Hilbert Transform. And we have proposed a new method called short response Hilbert transform (SRHLT)
that combines the differentiation method and the Hilbert transform method.
However, SRHLT improved the differentiation method and HLT, it still cannot fulfil our request. We
can view SRHLT as the medium between the differentiation operation and the Hilbert transform (HLT) for edge
detection. Now, we will introduce improved harris’ algorithm and new corner detection algorithm. A more
accurate algorithm for corner and edge detections that is the improved form of the well-known Harris’ algorithm
is introduced. First, instead of approximating |L [m+x, n+y]–L [m, n]|2 just in terms of x2, xy, and y2, we will
approximate |L[m+x, n+y]–L[m, n]|(L[m+x, n+y]–L[m, n]) by the linear combination of x2, xy, y2, x, y, and 1.
There are 6 basis different from 3 basis. We can observe the sign of variation with this modification. It can
avoid misjudging the pixel at the wrong location and is also helpful for increasing the robustness to noise.
Moreover, we also use orthogonal polynomial expansion and table looking up and define the cornet as the
“integration” of the quadratic function to further improve the performance. From simulations, our algorithm is
effective both for corner detection and edge detection.

IV. Outputs
We presentthe output of Gb using only the first 3 dimensions ofour soft-segmentations as input layers
(no color information was used). We came to the following conclusions:
1) while soft-segmentations do not separate the image intodisjoint regions (as hard-segmentation does),
their boundaries are correlated especially with occlusionsand wholeobject boundaries (as also
confirmed by our results onCMU Motion Dataset [46]);
2) soft-segmentations cannotcapture the fine details of objects or texture, but, in combination with raw
color layers, they can significantly improveGb’s performance on detecting general boundaries in
staticnatural images.

V. Conclusion
We have presented Gb, a novel model and algorithm forgeneralized boundary detection. Gb effectively
combinesmultiple low- and mid-level interpretation layers of animage in a principled manner, and resolves their
constraintsjointly, in closed-form, in order to compute the exact boundary strength and orientation.
Consequently, Gb achievesstate of the art results on published datasets at a significantly lower computational
cost than current methods.For mid-level inference, we present two efficient methodsfor soft-segmentation, and
contour grouping and reasoning, which significantly improve the boundary detectionperformance at negligible
computational cost. Gb’s broadreal-world applicability is demonstrated through quantitative and qualitative
results on the detection of boundariesin natural images and the identification of occlusion boundaries in video.
