There are two types of images - analog and digital. Digital images are represented as a matrix of pixels, with each pixel represented by a numerical value. The structure and characteristics of digital images, such as pixel bit depth, matrix size, and field of view, determine image quality and detail. Digital images allow for processing and analysis that analog images do not.

Improving Performance of Multileveled BTC Based CBIR Using Sundry Color SpacesCSCJournals
The paper presents an extension of content based image retrieval (CBIR) techniques based on multilevel Block Truncation Coding (BTC) using nine sundry color spaces. Block truncation coding based features is one of the CBIR methods proposed using color features of image. The approach basically considers red, green and blue planes of an image to compute feature vector. This BTC based CBIR can be extended as multileveled BTC for performance improvement in image retrieval. The paper extends the multileveled BTC using RGB color space to other nine color spaces. The CBIR techniques like BTC Level-1, BTC Level-2, BTC Level-3 and BTC Level-4 are applied using various color spaces to analyze and compare their performances. The CBIR techniques are tested on generic image database of 1000 images spread across 11 categories. For each CBIR technique, 55 queries (5 per category) are fired on extended Wang generic image database to compute average precision and recall for all queries. The results have shown the performance improvement (ie., higher precision and recall values) with BTC-CBIR methods using luminance-chrominance color spaces (YCgCb, Kekre’s LUV, YUV, YIQ, YCbCr) as compared to non-luminance (RGB, HSI, HSV, rgb , XYZ) Color spaces. The performance of multileveled BTC-CBIR increases gradually with increase in level up to certain extent (Level 3) and then increases slightly due to voids being created at higher levels. In all levels of BTC Kekre’s LUV color space gives best performance
Recognition system for facial expression by processing images with deep learn...TELKOMNIKA JOURNAL
The recognition systems of patterns in images are mechanisms that filter the information that provides an image to highlight the area of interest for the user. Usually, these mechanisms are based on mathematical transformations that allow the processor to perform interpretations based on the geometry or shape of the image. However, the strategies that implement mathematical transformations are limited, since the effectiveness of these techniques is reduced by changing the morphology or resolution of the image. This paper presents a partial solution to this limitation with a digital image processing technique based on a deep learning neural network (DNN). This technique incorporates a mechanism that allows the DNN to determine the facial expression of a person, based on the segmented information of the image of their face. By segmenting the image and processing its characteristics in parallel, the proposed technique increases the effectiveness of recognizing facial gestures in different images even when modifying their characteristics.

Today, many institutions and organizations are facing serious problem due to the tremendously increasing
size of documents, and this problem is further triggering the storage and retrieval problems due to the
continuously growing space and efficiency requirements. This problem is becoming more complex with
time and the increase in the size and number of documents in an organization. Therefore, there is a
growing demand to address this problem. This demand and challenge can be met by developing a
technique to enable specialized document imaging people to use when there is a need for storing
documents images. Thus, we need special and efficient storage techniques for this type of information
storage (IS) systems.
In this paper, we present an efficient storage technique for electronic documents. The proposed technique
uses the Information Pixels concept to make the technique more efficient for certain image formats. In
addition, we shall see how Storing Information Pixels Addresses ( SIPA ) method is an efficient method for
document storage and as a result makes the document image storage relatively efficient for most image
formats

Medical Image Fusion Using Discrete Wavelet TransformIJERA Editor
Medical image fusion is the process of registering and combining multiple images from single or multiple imaging modalities to improve the imaging quality and reduce randomness and redundancy in order to increase the clinical applicability of medical images for diagnosis and assessment of medical problems. Multimodal medical image fusion algorithms and devices have shown notable achievements in improving clinical accuracy of decisions based on medical images. The domain where image fusion is readily used nowadays is in medical diagnostics to fuse medical images such as CT (Computed Tomography), MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) and MRA. This paper aims to present a new algorithm to improve the quality of multimodality medical image fusion using Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) approach. Discrete Wavelet transform has been implemented using different fusion techniques including pixel averaging, maximum minimum and minimum maximum methods for medical image fusion. Performance of fusion is calculated on the basis of PSNR, MSE and the total processing time and the results demonstrate the effectiveness of fusion scheme based on wavelet transform.
Image processing based girth monitoring and recording system for rubber plant...sipij
Measuring the girth and continuous monitoring of the increase in girth is one of the most important processes in rubber plantations since identification of girth deficiencies would enable planters to take corrective actions to ensure a good yield from the plantation.
This research paper presents an image processing based girth measurement & recording system that can replace existing manual process in an efficient and economical manner.
The system uses a digital image of the tree which uses the current number drawn on the tree to identify the tree number & its width. The image is threshold first & then filtered out using several filtering criterion to identify possible candidates for numbers. Identified blobs are then fed to the Tesseract OCR for number recognition. Threshold image is then filtered again with different criterion to segment out the black strip drawn on the tree which is then used to calculate the width of the tree using calibration parameters. Once the tree number is identified & width is calculated the girth the measured girth of the tree is stored in the data base under the identified tree number.
The results obtained from the system indicated significant improvement in efficiency & economy for main plantations. As future developments we are proposing a standard commercial system for girth measurement using standardized 2D Bar Codes as tree identifiers

Blending of Images Using Discrete Wavelet Transformrahulmonikasharma
The project presents multi focus image fusion using discrete wavelet transform with local directional pattern and spatial frequency analysis. Multi focus image fusion in wireless visual sensor networks is a process of blending two or more images to get a new one which has a more accurate description of the scene than the individual source images. In this project, the proposed model utilizes the multi scale decomposition done by discrete wavelet transform for fusing the images in its frequency domain. It decomposes an image into two different components like structural and textural information. It doesn’t down sample the image while transforming into frequency domain. So it preserves the edge texture details while reconstructing image from its frequency domain. It is used to reduce the problems like blocking, ringing artifacts occurs because of DCT and DWT. The low frequency sub-band coefficients are fused by selecting coefficient having maximum spatial frequency. It indicates the overall active level of an image. The high frequency sub-band coefficients are fused by selecting coefficients having maximum LDP code value LDP computes the edge response values in all eight directions at each pixel position and generates a code from the relative strength magnitude. Finally, fused two different frequency sub-bands are inverse transformed to reconstruct fused image. The system performance will be evaluated by using the parameters such as Peak signal to noise ratio, correlation and entropy

Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.

3. There are two types of images, analog and digital, used in medical imaging.
Analog images are the type of images that we, as humans, look at.
They include such things as photographs, paintings, TV images, and all of our medical
images recorded on film or displayed on various display devices, like computer monitors.
What we see in an analog image is various levels of brightness (or film density) and
colors. It is generally continuous and not broken into many small individual pieces.
Digital images are recorded as many number. The image is divided into a matrix or array
of small picture elements, or pixels. Each pixel is represented by a numerical value.
The advantage of digital images is that they can be processed, in many ways, by
computer systems.
** Image Types
4.
5. Digital images are a necessary element in all modern medical imaging methods. Functions that can be
performed with digital images include:
- Image reconstruction (CT, MRI, SPECT, PET, etc)
- Image reformatting (Multi-plane, multi-view reconstructions)
- Wide (dynamic) range image data acquisition (CT, digital radiography, etc)
- Image processing (to change contrast and other quality characteristics)
- Fast image storage and retrieval
- Fast and high-quality image distribution (teleradiology)
- Controlled viewing (windowing, zooming, etc)
- Image analysis (measurements, calculation of various parameters, computer aided diagnosis, etc)
** The Digital Advantage
6.
7. Analog images are required for human
viewing.
Therefore, all of the medical imaging
methods that produce and use digital
images, must convert the images to an
analog form for display and viewing.
As humans, we cannot get much
information from just looking at a display of
many, many numbers, that is looking
directly at a digital image.
** Analog images
8. A digital image is a matrix of many small elements, or
pixels.
Each pixel is represented by a numerical value. In
general, the pixel value is related to the brightness or
color that we will see when the digital image is
converted into an analog image for display and
viewing.
Generally, at the time of viewing, the actual
relationship between a pixel numerical value and its
displayed brightness is determined by the
adjustments of the window control as discussed in
other modules.
** Digital Images
9. A digital image is represented in the imaging and
computer system by numbers in the form of binary
digits, called bits.
Here we see the general structure of a digital image.
First, it is divided into a matrix of pixels.
Then, each pixel is represented a series of bits.
We will soon discover the issues that affect the
number of pixels in an image and the number of bits
per pixel, the so-called pixel bit depth.
** The Structure of a Digital Image
10. Before we go into how computer systems write
numbers, let's review how we, as humans, write
numbers. We can write ten different digits,
0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8, and 9, . This system probably
developed because we have ten fingers.
When we write larger numbers (more than one digit) the
position of a digit within the number has a certain value,
1, 10, 100, 1000 etc as shown here.
The value of a number we have written is just the sum
of the values represented by each digit position.
In this example, 8000 + 500 + 30 + 4 =8,534.
** Human Digits
11. ** Comparing Human and Computer Digits
We have just reviewed that we as humans can write ten different digits.
Digital imaging systems and computers can only write two different digits.
They write numbers by filling in spaces (in the computer memory, on disk, etc).
However, they can only place a mark in the space (the black dot shown here) or leave the
space blank (the white dot shown here).
Therefore, each digit space can have only two possible values, MARKED or BLANK. For
that reason, these are called binary (meaning two) digits, or for short, bits.
There is an advantage in writing in bits. We do not have to be concerned with the
computer's "handwriting", like we must do sometimes for humans. It is easy and accurate
to just make marks.

13. ** Writing Numbers in Bits
When digital systems write numbers, they do it as a
series of digits (like humans) but the digit positions have
different values.
Remember our human digit positions have values: 1, 10,
100, 1000, etc.
The binary (computer) digit positions have values: 1, 2, 4,
8, 16, etc.
The value of a multiple-digit number is just the sum of the
values of the marked digits as we see here.
It is as simple as that!
14. ** Range of Values for Numbers in Binary
Form
One of the limitations with using binary numbers is the range
of values that can be written with a specific number of bits
(binary digits).
We explore the process here by using four bits. As we see,
four bits can have 16 different values because there are 16
ways the four bits can be marked.
The range of possible values that can be written is increased
by using more bits. As shown by the equation, the range
(number of possible values) is the number 2 multiplied by
itself, or raised to the power, by the the number of bits.
The range of possible values is doubled for each additional
bit used as we will soon see.
15. ** Pixel Bit Depth
The pixel bit depth is the number of bits that
have been made available in the digital system
to represent each pixel in the image.Here we
have an example of using only four bits.
This is smaller than would be used in any
actual medical image because with four bits, a
pixel would be limited to having only 16
different values (brightness levels or shades of
gray).
Medical images require more, as we will soon
see.
16. When the pixel bit
depth is increased to
eight bits, a pixel can
then have 256
different values
(brightness levels,
shades of gray, etc).
** Eight- bit
Pixel Depth
17. ** The Effect of Bit Depth on the Image
Here we compare three images, displayed with different bit depths and possible
brightness levels.
The first image is displayed with only one bit per pixel. A pixel can have only two possible
values, BLACK or WHITE.
The second image, with four bits per pixel, is limited to 16 different brightness levels
(shades of gray)
The third image, with eight bits per pixel, can display 256 different brightness levels. This
is generally adequate for human viewing.

19. When an image is in digital form, it is blurred by the size of the pixel. This is because all
anatomical detail within an individual pixel is "blurred together" and represented by one
number.
The physical size of a pixel, relative to the anatomical objects, is the amount of blurring
added to the imaging process by the digitizing of the image.
Here we see that an image with small pixels (less blurring) displays much more detail than
an image made up of larger pixels

21. ** Factors Affecting Pixel Size and
Image Detail
The size of a pixel (and image detail) is determined by the ratio of the actual image size
and the size of the image matrix.
Image size is the dimensions of the field of view (FOV) within the patient's body, not the
size of a displayed image.
Matrix size is the number of pixels along the length and width of an image. This can be the
same in both directions, but generally it will be different for rectangular images to produce
relatively square pixels.
22.
23. Increasing the matrix size, for
example from 1024 to 2048
pixels, without changing the
image field of view, will
produce smaller pixels.
This will generally reduce
blurring and improve image
detail
** The Effect of Matrix
Size on Pixel Size and
Image Detail
24. Different matrix sizes are used for the different imaging modalities, this is to
produce a pixel size that is compatible with the blurring and detail
characteristics of each modality.
Also, with many modalities, the matrix size can be adjusted by the operator
to optimize image quality and the imaging procedure.
** Image Matrix Size for the
Different Imaging Modalities
25. ** Effect of Field
of View on Digital
Image Detail
When the field of view (FOV)
is reduced, but not changing
the matrix size, the pixels
become smaller, and the
visibility of detail is
improved.
A practical issue is that larger
images (such as a chest
radiograph) require a larger
matrix (more pixels) than a
smaller image in order to
have good detail
26. The numerical size (number of bits) of an image is the product of two factors:
1- The number of pixels which is found by multiplying the pixel length and width of the
image.
2- The bit depth (bits per pixel). This is usually in the range of 8-16 bits, or 1-2 bytes, per
pixel.
The significance of numerical size is that the larger the image (numerically), the more
memory and disk storage space is required, and more time for processing and distribution
of images is required.

28. Image compression is the process of reducing the numerical size of digital images.
There are many different mathematical methods used for image compression.
The level of compression is the factor by which the numerical size is reduced. It
depends on the compression method and the selected level of compression.
Lossless compression is when there is no loss of image quality and is commonly
used in many medical applications.
Lessee compression results in some loss of image quality and must be used with
care for diagnostic images
