This document describes a narrow band region approach for 2D and 3D image segmentation using deformable curves and surfaces. Specifically, it develops a region energy term involving a fixed-width band around the evolving curve or surface. This energy achieves a balance between local gradient features and global region statistics. The region energy is formulated to allow efficient computation on explicit parametric models and implicit level set models. Two different region terms are introduced, each suited to different configurations of the target object and its surroundings. The document derives the mathematical framework for computing the region energies and their gradients to allow minimization via gradient descent. It then discusses numerical implementations and provides experiments segmenting medical and natural images.
The document describes a new method called Cluster Sensing Superpixel (CSS) for generating superpixels. CSS identifies ideal cluster centers using pixel density, which reflects pixel concentration. CSS searches for local optimal cluster centers that have high pixel density (representativeness) and are isolated from other high density pixels. It is approximately 5 times faster than state-of-the-art methods while maintaining comparable performance. When applied to microscopy image segmentation, CSS benefits from its efficient implementation.
This document discusses Gabor convolutional networks (GCNs), which incorporate Gabor filters into deep convolutional neural networks (DCNNs) to improve robustness to orientation and scale changes. GCNs modulate the learned convolution filters with Gabor filters, generating convolutional Gabor orientation filters (GoFs) that endow the ability to capture spatial localization, orientation selectivity, and spatial frequency selectivity. This allows GCNs to learn more compact yet enhanced representations with improved generalization to image transformations, outperforming conventional DCNN architectures. The incorporation of Gabor filters into the convolution operation can be integrated into any deep learning model to enhance robustness to scale and rotation variations.
The document describes a method for multiresolution image fusion using nonsubsampled contourlet transform (NSCT). NSCT provides multiresolution analysis with shift invariance and directionality. The method uses NSCT to learn edges from a high-resolution panchromatic image and fuse it with low-resolution multispectral images. Maximum a posteriori estimation with a Markov random field prior is used to optimize the fused image. Experimental results on fusing QuickBird satellite images show the proposed method produces higher quality fused images compared to other fusion methods.

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 .

Different Image Fusion Techniques –A Critical ReviewIJMER
This document reviews and compares different image fusion techniques, including spatial domain and transform domain methods. Spatial domain techniques like simple averaging and maximum selection are disadvantageous because they can produce spatial distortions and reduce contrast in the fused image. Transform domain methods like discrete wavelet transform (DWT) and principal component analysis (PCA) perform better by preserving more spatial and spectral information. DWT fusion in particular minimizes spectral distortion and improves the signal-to-noise ratio over pixel-based approaches, though it results in lower spatial resolution. Tables in the document provide quantitative comparisons of different techniques using performance measures like peak signal-to-noise ratio, entropy, and normalized cross-correlation.
EFFICIENT IMAGE COMPRESSION USING LAPLACIAN PYRAMIDAL FILTERS FOR EDGE IMAGESijcnac
This project presents a new image compression technique for the coding of retinal and
fingerprint images. Retinal images are used to detect diseases like diabetes or
hypertension. Fingerprint images are used for the security purpose. In this work, the
contourlet transform of the retinal and fingerprint image is taken first. The coefficients of
the contourlet transform are quantized using adaptive multistage vector quantization
scheme. The number of code vectors in the adaptive vector quantization scheme depends
on the dynamic range of the input image.
Review on Image Enhancement in Spatial Domainidescitation
With the proliferation in electronic imaging devices
like in mobiles, computer vision, medical field and space field;
image enhancement field has become the quite interesting
and important area of research. These imaging devices are
viewed under a diverse range of viewing conditions and a huge
loss in contrast under bright outdoor viewing conditions; thus
viewing condition parameters such as surround effects,
correlated color temperature and ambient lighting have
become of significant importance. Therefore, Principle
objective of Image enhancement is to adjust the quality of an
image for better human visual perception. Appropriate choice
of enhancement techniques is greatly influenced by the
imaging modality, task at hand and viewing conditions.
Basically, image enhancement techniques have been classified
into two broad categories: Spatial domain image enhancement
and Frequency domain image enhancement. This survey report
gives an overview of different methodologies have been used
for enhancement under the spatial domain category. It is noted
that in this field still more research is to be done.
This document discusses image fusion techniques at different levels of abstraction: pixel level, feature level, and decision level. It describes various fusion methods including numerical (e.g. multiplicative, Brovey), color related (e.g. IHS), statistical (e.g. PCA, Gram Schmidt), and feature level (e.g. Ehlers) techniques. Both qualitative (visual) and quantitative (statistical measures like RMSE, correlation coefficient, entropy) methods to assess fusion quality are outlined. Image fusion has applications in improving classification and displaying sharper resolution images.
Comparative study on image segmentation techniquesgmidhubala
This document discusses various image processing and analysis techniques. It describes image segmentation as separating an image into meaningful parts to facilitate analysis. Common segmentation techniques mentioned include thresholding, edge detection, color-based segmentation, and histograms. Thresholding involves separating foreground and background using a threshold value. Edge detection finds edges and contours. Color segmentation extracts information based on color. Histograms locate clusters of pixels to distinguish regions. The document provides examples of applying these techniques and concludes that segmentation partitions an image into homogeneous regions to extract high-level information.
PCA & CS based fusion for Medical Image FusionIJMTST Journal
Compressive sampling (CS), also called Compressed sensing, has generated a tremendous amount of excitement in the image processing community. It provides an alternative to Shannon/ Nyquist sampling when the signal under acquisition is known to be sparse or compressible. In this paper, we propose a new efficient image fusion method for compressed sensing imaging. In this method, we calculate the two dimensional discrete cosine transform of multiple input images, these achieved measurements are multiplied with sampling filter, so compressed images are obtained. we take inverse discrete cosine transform of them. Finally, fused image achieves from these results by using PCA fusion method. This approach also is implemented for multi-focus and noisy images. Simulation results show that our method provides promising fusion performance in both visual comparison and comparison using objective measures. Moreover, because this method does not need to recovery process the computational time is decreased very much.
Multi Wavelet for Image Retrival Based On Using Texture and Color QuerysIOSR Journals
This document summarizes a research paper on using multi-wavelet transforms for content-based image retrieval. The paper proposes extracting multi-wavelet features from images in a database and query images to measure similarity. It calculates energy levels from multi-wavelet sub-bands and uses Canberra distance between feature vectors to retrieve similar images. The method achieves 98.5% accuracy and is faster than using Gabor wavelets. In conclusion, multi-wavelet transforms provide good performance for content-based image retrieval applications.
This document discusses wavelet-based image fusion techniques. Image fusion combines information from multiple images of the same scene to create a fused image that is more informative than any single input image. The wavelet transform decomposes images into different frequency bands, and image fusion algorithms merge the corresponding bands from input images. Common fusion rules include choosing the maximum, minimum, mean, or a value from one image at each band location. The inverse wavelet transform then reconstructs the fused image. Wavelet-based fusion can integrate high spatial and high spectral information from images like panchromatic and multispectral satellite data.
This document describes a method for pixel-level image fusion using principal component analysis (PCA). PCA is used to transform correlated image pixels into a set of uncorrelated principal components. The first principal component accounts for the most variance in the pixel values. To fuse images, the pixels of the input images are arranged into vectors and subtracted from their mean. PCA is applied to get the eigenvectors corresponding to the largest eigenvalues. The normalized eigenvectors are used to compute a fused image as a weighted sum of the input images. Performance is evaluated using metrics like standard deviation, entropy, cross-entropy, and fusion mutual information, with higher values of these metrics indicating better quality of the fused image.

The document provides background on image segmentation techniques, reviews related work applying watershed algorithms, and discusses challenges like over-segmentation that watershed approaches can face.

Abstract:
Given a portrait and an arbitrary high dynamic range lighting environment, our framework uses machine learning to composite the subject into a new scene, while accurately modeling their appearance in the target illumination condition. We estimate a high quality alpha matte, foreground element, albedo map, and surface normals, and we propose a novel, per-pixel lighting representation within a deep learning framework.
This document describes research applying deep convolutional networks to intrinsic image decomposition. The network is trained on synthetic data to map RGB pixels to shading and reflectance estimates. It outperforms a popular method (Retinex) on a benchmark dataset, producing more accurate albedo maps and comparable lighting estimates. Future work could explore network architecture and training on a wider range of real-world data.
A New Approach of Medical Image Fusion using Discrete Wavelet TransformIDES Editor
MRI-PET medical image fusion has important
clinical significance. Medical image fusion is the important
step after registration, which is an integrative display method
of two images. The PET image shows the brain function with
a low spatial resolution, MRI image shows the brain tissue
anatomy and contains no functional information. Hence, a
perfect fused image should contains both functional
information and more spatial characteristics with no spatial
& color distortion. The DWT coefficients of MRI-PET
intensity values are fused based on the even degree method
and cross correlation method The performance of proposed
image fusion scheme is evaluated with PSNR and RMSE and
its also compared with the existing techniques.
1. The document presents an approach to enhance the realism of synthetic images rendered by game engines. A convolutional network is trained to modify rendered images using intermediate representations from the rendering process.
2. The network is trained with an adversarial objective to provide strong supervision at multiple perceptual levels. A new strategy is proposed for sampling image patches during training to address differences in scene layout distributions between datasets.
3. The approach significantly enhances photorealism over recent image-to-image translation methods and baselines, as shown in controlled experiments. It can add realistic details like gloss, vegetation, and road textures while keeping enhancements consistent with the input image content.
Reduced-reference Video Quality Metric Using Spatial Information in Salient R...TELKOMNIKA JOURNAL
In multimedia transmission, it is important to rely on an objective quality metric which accurately
represents the subjective quality of processed images and video sequences. Maintaining acceptable
Quality of Experience in video transmission requires the ability to measure the quality of the video seen at
the receiver end. Reduced-reference metrics make use of side-information that is transmitted to the
receiver for estimating the quality of the received sequence with low complexity. This attribute enables
real-time assessment and visual degradation detection caused by transmission and compression errors. A
novel reduced-reference video quality known as the Spatial Information in Salient Regions Reduced
Reference Metric is proposed. The approach proposed makes use of spatial activity to estimate the
received sequence distortion after concealment. The statistical elements analysed in this work are based
on extracted edges and their luminance distributions. Results highlight that the proposed edge dissimilarit y
measure has a good correlation with DMOS scores from the LIVE Video Database.
Clustered Compressive Sensingbased Image Denoising Using Bayesian Frameworkcsandit
This paper provides a compressive sensing (CS) method of denoising images using Bayesian
framework. Some images, for example like magnetic resonance images (MRI) are usually very
weak due to the presence of noise and due to the weak nature of the signal itself. So denoising
boosts the true signal strength. Under Bayesian framework, we have used two different priors:
sparsity and clusterdness in an image data as prior information to remove noise. Therefore, it is
named as clustered compressive sensing based denoising (CCSD). After developing the
Bayesian framework, we applied our method on synthetic data, Shepp-logan phantom and
sequences of fMRI images. The results show that applying the CCSD give better results than
using only the conventional compressive sensing (CS) methods in terms of Peak Signal to Noise
Ratio (PSNR) and Mean Square Error (MSE). In addition, we showed that this algorithm could
have some advantages over the state-of-the-art methods like Block-Matching and 3D
Filtering (BM3D).

1) The document describes an efficient region-based image retrieval system that uses discrete wavelet transform and k-means clustering. It segments images into regions, each characterized by features like size, mean, and covariance.
2) The system pre-processes images by resizing, converting to HSV color space, performing DWT, and using k-means clustering on DWT coefficients to generate regions. It extracts features for each region and stores them in a database.
3) For retrieval, it pre-processes the query image similarly and calculates similarities between the query regions and database regions based on their features, returning similar images.
This document proposes a new method called multi-surface fitting for enhancing the resolution of digital images. The method fits multiple surfaces, with one surface fitted for each low-resolution pixel, and then fuses the multi-sampling values from these surfaces using maximum a posteriori estimation. This allows more low-resolution pixel information to be utilized to reconstruct the high-resolution image compared to other interpolation-based methods. The method is shown to effectively preserve image details without requiring assumptions about the image prior, as iterative techniques do. It provides error-free high resolution for test images.
Modification on Energy Efficient Design of DVB-T2 Constellation De-mapperIJERA Editor
The second generation of terrestrial digital video broadcasting standard (DVB-T2) offers several advantages for greater efficiency. Signal Space Diversity (SSD) contains rotated constellation and Q-Delay (RQD), which is one of advantage that offered to improve the performance over fading channels compared to the non-rotated modulation. In this journal, the proposed low-power de-mapper design of this work attempts to employ the introduced SSD to reduce power through replacing LLR calculations by a significantly less complex projection-based de-mapping whenever possible. It benefits from an algorithm that applies projection-based de-mapping to significantly reduce LLR computations without deteriorating performance. Two versions are introduced for hard de-mapping and soft de-mapping. The design uses several techniques simultaneously to be even more energy efficient without affecting the performance. Prototype results indicate significant reduction of LLR calculations as Eb/N0 increases with no performance degradation. The idea and energy saving techniques can be easily applied to any rotated constellation de-mapper.
Memory Polynomial Based Adaptive Digital PredistorterIJERA Editor
Digital predistortion (DPD) is a baseband signal processing technique that corrects for impairments in RF
power amplifiers (PAs). These impairments cause out-of-band emissions or spectral regrowth and in-band
distortion, which correlate with an increased bit error rate (BER). Wideband signals with a high peak-to-average
ratio, are more susceptible to these unwanted effects. So to reduce these impairments, this paper proposes the
modeling of the digital predistortion for the power amplifier using GSA algorithm.

Modification on Energy Efficient Design of DVB-T2 Constellation De-mapperIJERA Editor
The second generation of terrestrial digital video broadcasting standard (DVB-T2) offers several advantages for greater efficiency. Signal Space Diversity (SSD) contains rotated constellation and Q-Delay (RQD), which is one of advantage that offered to improve the performance over fading channels compared to the non-rotated modulation. In this journal, the proposed low-power de-mapper design of this work attempts to employ the introduced SSD to reduce power through replacing LLR calculations by a significantly less complex projection-based de-mapping whenever possible. It benefits from an algorithm that applies projection-based de-mapping to significantly reduce LLR computations without deteriorating performance. Two versions are introduced for hard de-mapping and soft de-mapping. The design uses several techniques simultaneously to be even more energy efficient without affecting the performance. Prototype results indicate significant reduction of LLR calculations as Eb/N0 increases with no performance degradation. The idea and energy saving techniques can be easily applied to any rotated constellation de-mapper.
Memory Polynomial Based Adaptive Digital PredistorterIJERA Editor
Digital predistortion (DPD) is a baseband signal processing technique that corrects for impairments in RF
power amplifiers (PAs). These impairments cause out-of-band emissions or spectral regrowth and in-band
distortion, which correlate with an increased bit error rate (BER). Wideband signals with a high peak-to-average
ratio, are more susceptible to these unwanted effects. So to reduce these impairments, this paper proposes the
modeling of the digital predistortion for the power amplifier using GSA algorithm.

Dynamic Metadata Management in Semantic File SystemsIJERA Editor
The progression in data capacity and difficulty inflicts great challenges for file systems. To address these contests, an inventive namespace management scheme is in distracted need to deliver both the ease and competence of data access. For scalability, each server makes only local, autonomous decisions about relocation for load balancing. Associative access is provided by a traditional extension to present tree-structured file system conventions, and by protocols that are intended specifically for content based access.Rapid attribute-based accesstofile system contents is fulfilled by instinctive extraction and indexing of key properties of file system objects. The programmed indexing of files and calendars is called “semantic” because user programmable transducers use data about the semantics of efficient file system objects to extract the properties for indexing. Tentative results from a semantic file system execution support the thesis that semantic file systems present a more active storage abstraction than do traditional tree planned file systems for data sharing and command level programming. Semantic file system is executed as a middleware in predictable file systems and works orthogonally with categorized directory trees. The semantic relationships and file groups recognized in file systems can also be used to facilitate file prefetching among other system-level optimizations. All-encompassing trace-driven experiments on our sample implementation validate the efficiency and competence.
Noise Removal in SAR Images using Orthonormal Ridgelet TransformIJERA Editor
Development in the field of image processing for reducing speckle noise from digital images/satellite images is a challenging task for image processing applications. Previously many algorithms were proposed to de-speckle the noise in digital images. Here in this article we are presenting experimental results on de-speckling of Synthetic Aperture RADAR (SAR) images. SAR images have wide applications in remote sensing and mapping the surfaces of all planets. SAR can also be implemented as "inverse SAR" by observing a moving target over a substantial time with a stationary antenna. Hence denoising of SAR images is an essential task for viewing the information. Here we introduce a transformation technique called ―Ridgelet‖, which is an extension level of wavelet. Ridgelet analysis can be done in the similar way how wavelet analysis was done in the Radon domain as it translates singularities along lines into point singularities under different frequencies. Simulation results were show cased for proving that proposed work is more reliable than compared to other de-speckling processes, and the quality of de-speckled image is measured in terms of Peak Signal to Noise Ratio and Mean Square Error.

the technique was carried out and its advantages, limitations, progress and prospects were discussed.
Low Memory Low Complexity Image Compression Using HSSPIHT EncoderIJERA Editor
Due to the large requirement for memory and the high complexity of computation, JPEG2000 cannot be used in
many conditions especially in the memory constraint equipment. The line-based W avelet transform was
proposed and accepted because lower memory is required without affecting the result of W avelet transform, In
this paper, the improved lifting schem e is introduced to perform W avelet transform to replace Mallat method
that is used in the original line-based wavelet transform. In this a three-adder unit is adopted to realize lifting
scheme. It can perform wavelet transform with less computation and reduce memory than Mallat algorithm. The
corresponding HS_SPIHT coding is designed here so that the proposed algorithm is more suitable for
equipment. W e proposed a highly scale image compression scheme based on the Set Partitioning in
Hierarchical Trees (SPIHT) algorithm. Our algorithm, called Highly Scalable SPIHT (HS_SPIHT), supports
High Compression efficiency, spatial and SNR scalability and provides l bit stream that can be easily adapted to
give bandwidth and resolution requirements by a simple transcoder (parse). The HS_SPIHT algorithm adds
the spatial scalability feature without sacrificing the S NR embeddedness property as found in the original
SPIHT bit stream. Highly scalable image compression scheme based on the SPIHT algorithm the proposed
algorithm used, highly scalable SPIHT (HS_SPIHT) Algorithm, adds the spatial scalability feature to the SPIHT
algorithm through the introduction of multiple resolution dependent lists and a resolution-dependent sorting
pass. SPIHT keeps the import features of the original SPIHT algorithm such as compression efficiency, full
SNR Scalability and low complexity.
Synthesis Characterization and Properties of Silica-Nickel Nanocomposites thr...IJERA Editor
This document describes the synthesis and characterization of silica-nickel nanocomposites produced through a chemical route. Silica gel powder was mixed with nickel chloride and glucose solutions to produce silica composites with 5, 10, 15, and 20% nickel content. The mixtures were heat treated to reduce nickel chloride to metallic nickel nanoparticles dispersed in a silica matrix. Characterization using XRD, TEM, and SAED confirmed the presence of nickel nanoparticles around 36-61 nm in size embedded in an amorphous silica matrix. Densification increased with higher nickel content during sintering. Indentation tests determined that microhardness and elastic modulus increased with greater nickel concentration in the composites.
This document presents a method for automatically identifying and classifying retinal blood vessels in fundus images. The method first segments the vasculature and extracts vessel segments. It then models the segments as a graph and uses Dijkstra's algorithm to identify individual vessel trees based on segment attributes. The method can detect crossings and bifurcations to correctly separate overlapping vessels. It further classifies vessel trees as arteries and veins using features like intensity and a rule that two crossing vessels must have different classifications. The method achieved an average pixel-level classification accuracy of 91.44% on test images. The automated classification allows diagnostically useful analysis of individual retinal vessel morphology.

This document summarizes a research study on the characteristics of concrete with partial replacements of cement with fly ash and rice husk ash. The study aimed to evaluate the compressive, tensile, and flexural strengths of concrete mixes containing varying percentages of fly ash and rice husk ash, both individually and combined, as a replacement for cement. The results showed that compressive strength increased up to a 12% replacement of cement with fly ash or rice husk ash. Combining the two ash materials in concrete generally resulted in lower strengths compared to the individual ash mixes. The study concluded that rice husk ash and fly ash can be effectively used to partially replace cement in concrete to improve properties and reduce costs.

Pressure Vessel Optimization a Fuzzy ApproachIJERA Editor
Optimization has become a significant area of development, both in research and for practicing design engineers. In this work here for optimization of air receiver tank, of reciprocating air compressor, the sequential linear programming method is being used. The capacity of tank is considered as optimization constraint. Conventional dimension of the tank are utilized as reference for defining range. Inequality constraints such as different design stresses for different parts of tank are determined and suitable values are selected. Algorithm is prepared and conventional SLP is done in MATLAB Software with C++ interface toget optimized dimension of tank. The conventional SLP is modified by introducing fuzzy heuristics and the relevant algorithm is prepared. Fuzzy based sequential linear programming is prepared and executed in MATLAB Software using fuzzy toolbox and optimization tool box and corresponding dimension are obtained. After comparison FSLP with SLP it is observed that FSLP is easier in execution.
Structural, elastic and electronic properties of 2H- and 4H-SiCIJERA Editor
The structural, five different elastic constants and electronic properties of 2H- and 4H-Silicon carbide (SiC) are investigated by using density functional theory (DFT). The total energies of primitive cells of 2H- and 4H-SiC phases are close to each other and moreover satisfy the condition E2H >E4H. Thus, the 4H-SiC structure appears to be more stable than the 2H- one. The analysis of elastic properties also indicates that the 4H-SiC polytype is stiffer than the 2H structures. The electronic energy bands, the total density of states (DOS) are calculated. The fully relaxed and isotropic bulk modulus is also estimated. The implication of the comparison of our results with the existing experimental and theoretical studies is made.
This document discusses techniques for image segmentation and edge detection. It proposes a generalized boundary detection method called Gb that combines low-level and mid-level image representations in a single eigenvalue problem to detect boundaries. Gb achieves state-of-the-art results at low computational cost. Soft segmentation is also introduced to improve boundary detection accuracy with minimal extra computation. Common methods for edge detection are described, including gradient-based, texture-based, and projection profile-based approaches. Improved Harris and corner detection algorithms are presented to more accurately detect edges and corners. The output of Gb using soft segmentations as input is shown to correlate well with occlusions and whole object boundaries while capturing general boundaries.
Performance of Efficient Closed-Form Solution to Comprehensive Frontier Exposureiosrjce
This document discusses boundary detection techniques for images. It proposes a generalized boundary detection method (Gb) that combines low-level and mid-level image representations in a single eigenvalue problem to detect boundaries. Gb achieves state-of-the-art results at low computational cost. Soft segmentation and contour grouping methods are also introduced to further improve boundary detection accuracy with minimal extra computation. The document presents outputs of Gb on sample images and concludes that Gb effectively detects boundaries in a principled manner by jointly resolving constraints from multiple image interpretation layers in closed form.
This document describes an image denoising technique called the TWIST (Transform With Iterative Sampling and Thresholding) method. It begins with background on common types of image noise like Gaussian, salt-and-pepper, and quantization noise. It then discusses related work using eigendecomposition and the Nystrom extension for denoising. The proposed TWIST method uses the Nystrom extension to approximate the filter matrix with a low-rank matrix, allowing efficient processing of the entire image. It performs eigendecomposition on sample pixels to estimate eigenvalues and eigenvectors, then iterates this process with thresholding to denoise the image while preserving edges.
This paper provides a compressive sensing (CS) method of denoising images using Bayesian framework. Some images, for example like magnetic resonance images (MRI) are usually very
weak due to the presence of noise and due to the weak nature of the signal itself. So denoising
boosts the true signal strength. Under Bayesian framework, we have used two different priors:
sparsity and clusterdness in an image data as prior information to remove noise. Therefore, it is
named as clustered compressive sensing based denoising (CCSD). After developing the
Bayesian framework, we applied our method on synthetic data, Shepp-logan phantom and
sequences of fMRI images. The results show that applying the CCSD give better results than
using only the conventional compressive sensing (CS) methods in terms of Peak Signal to Noise
Ratio (PSNR) and Mean Square Error (MSE). In addition, we showed that this algorithm could
have some advantages over the state-of-the-art methods like Block-Matching and 3D
Filtering (BM3D).

This document summarizes an academic article that proposes a new image compression algorithm using Daubechies wavelets and arithmetic coding. It first discusses existing image compression techniques and their limitations. It then describes the proposed algorithm, which applies Daubechies wavelet transform followed by 2D Walsh wavelet transform on image blocks and arithmetic coding. Results show the proposed method achieves higher compression ratios and PSNR values than existing algorithms like EZW and SPIHT. Future work aims to improve results by exploring different wavelets and compression techniques.
This paper proposes an incremental and adaptive method for 3D reconstruction from a single RGB camera. The key features are:
1) An incremental method for updating the cost volume as new frames are added, without needing to store hundreds of comparison images. This reduces processing time and memory usage.
2) A method for dynamically adapting the minimum and maximum depth limits of the cost volume based on estimated scene depth from a semi-dense reconstruction system. This achieves optimal depth resolution.
The algorithm provides dense 3D reconstruction of indoor environments with low computational and memory costs, making it suitable for robotic applications. It is tested on both simulated and real data and shown to outperform previous volumetric reconstruction methods.

This document describes an implementation of fuzzy logic for high-resolution remote sensing image classification with improved accuracy. It discusses using an object-based approach with fuzzy rules to classify urban land covers in a satellite image. The approach involves image segmentation using k-means clustering or ISODATA clustering. Features are then extracted from the image objects and fuzzy logic is applied to classify the objects based on membership functions. The method was tested on different sensor and resolution images in MATLAB and showed improved classification accuracy over other techniques, achieving lower entropy in results. Future work planned includes designing an unsupervised classification model combining k-means clustering and fuzzy-based object orientation.

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.
Sinusoidal Function for Population Size in Quantum Evolutionary Algorithm and...sipij
Fractal Image Compression is a well-known problem which is in the class of NP-Hard problems. Quantum Evolutionary Algorithm is a novel optimization algorithm which uses a probabilistic representation for solutions and is highly suitable for combinatorial problems like Knapsack problem. Genetic algorithms are widely used for fractal image compression problems, but QEA is not used for this kind of problems yet. This paper improves QEA whit change population size and used it in fractal image compression. Utilizing the self-similarity property of a natural image, the partitioned iterated function system (PIFS) will be found to encode an image through Quantum Evolutionary Algorithm (QEA) method Experimental results show that our method has a better performance than GA and conventional fractal image compression algorithms.

There exists a plethora of algorithms to perform image segmentation and there are several issues related to
execution time of these algorithms. Image Segmentation is nothing but label relabeling problem under
probability framework. To estimate the label configuration, an iterative optimization scheme is
implemented to alternately carry out the maximum a posteriori (MAP) estimation and the maximum
likelihood (ML) estimations. In this paper this technique is modified in such a way so that it performs
segmentation within stipulated time period. The extensive experiments shows that the results obtained are
comparable with existing algorithms. This algorithm performs faster execution than the existing algorithm
to give automatic segmentation without any human intervention. Its result match image edges very closer to
human perception.
A PROJECT REPORT ON REMOVAL OF UNNECESSARY OBJECTS FROM PHOTOS USING MASKINGIRJET Journal
This document presents a project report on removing unnecessary objects from photos using masking techniques. It discusses using algorithms like Fast Marching and Navier-Stokes to fill in missing image data and maintain continuity across boundaries. The Fast Marching method begins at region boundaries and works inward, prioritizing completion of boundary pixels first. Navier-Stokes uses fluid dynamics equations to continue intensity value functions and ensure they remain continuous at boundaries. Color filtering can also be used to segment specific colored objects or regions. The project aims to implement these techniques to remove unwanted objects from images and fill the resulting gaps seamlessly.
This paper presents an approach for image restoration in the presence of blur and noise. The image is divided into independent regions modeled with a Gaussian prior. Wavelet-based methods are used for image denoising, while classical Wiener filtering is used for deblurring. The algorithm finds the maximum a posteriori estimate at the intersection of convex sets generated by Wiener filtering. It provides efficient image restoration without sacrificing the simplicity of filtering, and generates a better restored image compared to previous methods.

Abstract
In now days, wavelet-based image denoising method, which extends a recently emerged ―geometrical‖ Bayesian
framework. The new scheme combines three criteria for distinctive theoretically useful coefficients from noise:
coefficient magnitudes, their advancement across scales and spatial clustering of bulky coefficients close to
image edges. These three criteria are united in a Bayesian construction. The spatial clustering properties are
expressed in a earlier model. The statistical properties regarding coefficient magnitudes and their development
crossways scales are expressed in a joint conditional model. We address the image denoising difficulty, where
zero-mean white and homogeneous Gaussian additive noise is to be uninvolved from a given image. We employ
the belief propagation (BP) algorithm, which estimates a coefficient based on every one the coefficients of a
picture, as the maximum-a-posterior (MAP) estimator to derive the denoised wavelet coefficients. We illustrate
that if the network is a spanning tree, the customary BP algorithm can achieve MAP estimation resourcefully.
Our research consequences show that, in conditions of the peak-signal-to-noise-ratio and perceptual superiority,
the planned approach outperforms state-of-the-art algorithms on a number of images, mostly in the textured
regions, with a range of amounts of white Gaussian noise.
Keywords— Bayesian network, Bayesian estimation, Image denoising, Image restoration, Wavelet transform.
I. INTRODUCTION
The class of natural images that we
encounter in daily life is only a small subset of the set
of all possible images. This subset is called an image
manifold. Digital image processing applications are
becoming increasingly important and they all start
with a mathematical representation of the image. In
Bayesian restoration methods, the image manifold is
encoded in the form of prior knowledge that express
the probabilities that specified combinations of pixel
intensities can be experiential in an image.
Because image spaces are high-dimensional,
one often isolates the manifolds by decomposing
images into their components and by fitting
probabilistic models on it [1], [2]. The construction
of a Bayesian network involves prior knowledge of
the probability relationships between the variables of
interest. Learning approaches are widely used to
construct Bayesian networks that best represent the
joint probabilities of training data. In practice, an
optimization process based on a heuristic search
technique is used to find the best structure over the
space of all possible networks. However, the
approach is computationally intractable because it
must explore several combinations of dependent
variables to derive an optimal Bayesian network. The
difficulty is resolved in this paper by representing the
data in wavelet domains and restricting the space of
possible networks by using certain techniques, such
as the ―maximal weighted spanning tree‖. Three
wavelet properties - sparsity, cluster, and motion -
can be oppressed to reduce the computational
complexity of learning a Bayesian network [3]-[7].
During the last decades, multi resolution image
representations, like wavelets, have received much
attention for this purpose, due to their sparseness
which manifests in highly non-Gaussian statistics for
wavelet coefficients. Marginal histograms of wavelet
coefficients are typically leptokurtotic and have
heavy tails [8], [9]. In literature, many wavelet-based
image denoising methods have arisen exploiting this
property, and are often based on simple and elegant
shrinkage rules. In addition, joint histograms of
wavelet coefficients have been studied in. Taking
advantage of correlations between wavelet
coefficients either across space, scale or orientation,
additional improvement in denoising performance is
obtained. The Gaussian Scale Mixture (GSM) model,
in which clusters of coefficients are modeled as the
artifact of a Gaussian random vector and a positive
scaling variable, has been shown to produce outcome
that are appreciably better than marginal models [10].
Image restoration aims to construct an estimate
sharing the significant features still present in the
degraded image, but with the artifacts censored.

II. PROBLEM FORMULATION
In our construction, we use image patches to
take into account complex spatial interactions in
images. In contrast to exemplar-based approaches for
image modeling . An unsupervised method that uses
no collection of image patches and no computational
intensive training algorithms. Our adaptive
smoothing works in the joint spatial-range domain as
the nonlocal means filter but have a more powerful
adaptation to the local structure of the data since the
size of windows and control parameters are estimated
from local image statistics [11]. We create the
presentation of the proposed denoising algorithm by
first introducing how sparsity and redundancy are
brought to exploit. We do that via the beginning of
the Sparse land reproduction Once this is set, we will
talk about how local management on image patches
turns into a global prior in a Bayesian rebuilding
framework. The second part of the paper attempts to
further validate recent claims that lossy compression
can be used for denoising. The Bayes Shrink
threshold can aid in the parameter selection of a
coder designed with the intention of denoising, and
thus achieving concurrent denoising and looseness.
Specifically, the zero-zone in the quantization step of
compression is analogous to the threshold value in
the thresholding function. The left behind coder
design parameters are selected based on a criterion
derived from Rissanen’s minimum description length
(MDL) theory [12]. Experiments show that this
compression method does indeed remove noise
extensively, especially for great noise power.
although it introduces quantization noise and should
be used only if bit rate were an additional concern to
denoising. In meticulous, the transform-domain
denoising methods normally assume that the true
signal can be well approximated by a linear
combination of few basis elements. That is, the signal
is sparsely represent in the transform domain. thus,
by preserving the few high-magnitude transform
coefficients that convey typically the accurate-signal
energy and discarding the rest which are mainly due
to noise, the correct signal can be successfully
estimated. The sparsity of the representation depends
on both the transform and the true-signal’s properties.
The multi resolution transforms can achieve first-
class sparsity for spatially localized fine points, for
instance edges and singularities. When this prior-
learning plan is combined with sparsity and
redundancy, it is the glossary to be used that we
target as the learned set of parameters [13].
III. IMAGE DENOISING
Image denoising is an important image
processing assignment, both as a process itself, and
as a module in other processes. Very several ways to
denoise an image or a set of records exists. The main
properties of an excellent image denoising model are
that it will eliminate noise while preserving edges.
Generally linear models have been used. One
common technique is to use a Gaussian filter, or
homogeneously solving the heat-equation with the
noisy image as input-data, i.e. a linear, 2nd order
PDE-reproduction. For some purposes this kind of
denoising is sufficient. One large advantage of linear
noise removal models is the speed. But a reverse
draw of the linear models is that they are not able to
preserve edges in a excellent way: edges, which are
recognized as discontinuities in the image, are dirty
out. Nonlinear models on the other hand can handle
edges in a much better way than linear models can.
This filter is very good at preserving edges, but
smoothly unstable regions in the input image are
transformed into piecewise constant regions in the
output image. Using the TV-filter as a denoiser leads
to solve a 2nd order nonlinear PDE. because smooth
regions are transformed into piecewise constant
regions when using the TV-filter, it is desirable to
generate a model for which smoothly changeable
regions are transformed into smoothly unreliable
regions, and yet the edges are preserved. This can be
done for example by solving a 4th order PDEd
instead of the 2nd order PDE from the TV-filter.
result show that the 4th order filter produces greatly
better results in smooth regions, and unmoving
preserves edges in a very excellent way.
IV. IMAGE DENOISING
TECHNIQUES
Image denoising algorithms may be the
oldest in image processing. various methods, in spite
of implementation, share the similar basic plan noise
reduction through image blurring. Blurring can be
done nearby, as in the Gaussian smoothing model or
in anisotropic filtering; by calculus of variations; or
in the frequency domain, such as Weiner filters. but a
universal ―best‖ approach has yet to be found.
A) Patch-Based Image Denoising
A novel adaptive and patch-based approach
is proposed for image denoising and representation.
The method is based on a point wise selection of
small image patches of fixed size in the variable
neighborhood of each pixel. Our involvement is to
associate with each pixel the weighted sum of data
points within an adaptive neighborhood, in a manner
that it balances the exactness of approximation and
the stochastic error, at each spatial location. This
method is general and can be applied under the
assumption that there exist repetitive patterns in a
local neighborhood of a point. By introducing spatial
adaptively, we expand the work earlier described by
Buades et al. which can be measured as an addition

of bilateral filtering to image patches. Finally, we
recommend a nearly parameter-free algorithm for
image denoising. The scheme is applied to both
artificially despoiled (white Gaussian noise) and real
images and the performance is extremely close to,
and in some cases yet surpasses, that of the already
published denoising schemes. A novel adaptive and
exemplar-based approach is proposed for image
restoration and representation. The method is based
on a point wise selection of small image patches of
fixed size in the variable neighbourhood of each
pixel. The core idea is to associate with each pixel the
weighted sum of data points within an adaptive
neighbourhood. This method is general and can be
applied under the assumption that the image is a
locally and fairly stationary process. In this paper, we
spotlight on the problem of the adaptive
neighbourhood selection in a manner that it balances
the accuracy of approximation and the stochastic
error, at each spatial location. Thus, the new
proposed point wise estimator mechanically adapts to
the degree of underlying smoothness which is
unidentified with minimal a priori assumptions on the
function to be recovered [14].
B) Wavelet Based Image Denoising
Wavelet-based image denoising method,
which extends a newly emerged ―geometrical‖
Bayesian framework. The new method merges three
criteria for distinguishing supposedly valuable
coefficients from noise: coefficient magnitudes, their
development across scales and spatial clustering of
large coefficients close to image edges. These three
criteria are pooled in a Bayesian construction. The
spatial clustering properties are expressed in a prior
model. The statistical properties regarding coefficient
magnitudes and their progression across scales are
expressed in a joint conditional model. The three
middle novelties with respect to related approaches
are
1) The inter scale-ratios of wavelet coefficients are
statistically characterized and different local criteria
for distinguishing valuable coefficients from noise
are evaluated.
2) A joint provisional model is introduced.
3) A novel anisotropic Markov random field prior
model is designed. The results demonstrate an
enhanced denoising performance over related earlier
techniques [15].
Figure1: Left: reference images: 1: ―Lena,‖ 2:
―Goldhill,‖ 3: ―Fruits,‖ and 4: ―Barbara.‖ Right:
reference edge positions for vertical orientation of
details at resolution scale.
Several issues were addressed to improve
Bayesian image denoising using prior models for
spatial clustering. A new MRF prior model was
introduced to preserve image details better. A joint
significance measure, which combines coefficients
magnitudes and their evolution through scales, was
introduced. For the resulting, joint conditional model
a simple practical realization was proposed and
motivated via Simulations. The advantage of the joint
conditional model in terms of noise suppression
performance was demonstrated on different images
and for different amounts of noise. Some aspects that
were analyzed in this paper may be useful for other
denoising schemes as well: the realistic conditional
densities of interscale ratios obtained via simulations
and objective criteria for evaluating noise
suppression performance of different significance
measures [15].
C) Sparse And Redundant Representations Based
Image Denoising
We address the image denoising difficulty,
where zero-mean white and homogeneous Gaussian
additive noise is to be detached from a given image.
The move toward taken is based on sparse and
redundant representations over trained dictionaries.
Using the K-SVD algorithm, we achieve a dictionary
that describes the image content effectively. Two
training options are measured: using the corrupted
image itself, or training on a amount of high-quality
image database. Since the K-SVD is limited in
management small image patches, we expand its
deployment to arbitrary image sizes by defining a
global image prior that forces sparsity over patches in
every location in the image. We illustrate how such
Bayesian treatment leads to a simple and effective
denoising algorithm. This lead to a state-of-the-art
denoising presentation, equivalent and sometimes
surpassing recently published leading alternative
denoising methods. Image denoising, leading to state-
of-the-art presentation, equivalent to and sometimes

surpassing recently published leading alternatives
denoising methods. The planned method is based on
local operations and involves sparse decompositions
of each image block under one fixed over-complete
dictionary, and a simple average calculation. The
content of the dictionary is of main importance for
the denoising method we have shown that a
dictionary trained for natural real images, as well as
an adaptive glossary trained on patches of the noisy
image itself, both present very well [16].
D) Adaptive Wavelet Thresholding for Image
restoration (denoising)
An adaptive, data-driven threshold for image
denoising via wavelet soft-thresholding. The
threshold is derivative in a Bayesian framework, and
the previous used on the wavelet coefficients is the
generalized Gaussian distribution (GGD) widely used
in image processing applications. The anticipated
threshold is simple and closed-form, and it is
adaptive to each sub band because it depends on data-
driven estimates of the parameters. Investigational
results show that the proposed method, called
BayesShrink, is usually within 5% of the MSE of the
best soft-thresholding benchmark with the image
assumed known. It also outperforms Donohue and
Johnston’s Sure Shrink most of the time. The
subsequent part of the paper attempt to further
validate recent claims that lossy compression can be
used for denoising. The BayesShrink threshold can
serve in the parameter selection of a coder designed
with the intention of denoising, and thus achieving
instantaneous denoising and compression.
particularly, the zero-zone in the quantization step of
compression is analogous to the threshold value in
the thresholding function. The residual coder design
parameters are chosen based on a criterion derived
from Rissanen’s minimum description length (MDL)
principle. Experiments show that this compression
scheme does indeed remove noise considerably,
especially for huge noise power. However, it
introduces quantization noise and should be used
only if bitrates were an additional concern to
denoising. is often corrupted by noise in its
acquisition or transmission. The goal of denoising is
to eliminate the noise while retaining as much as
possible the important signal features.
Conventionally, this is achieved by linear processing
such as Wiener filtering. A vast literature has
emerged freshly on signal denoising using nonlinear
techniques, in the location of additive white Gaussian
noise [17].
Figure 2: shows the wavelet based Adaptive Wavelet
Thresholding for Image Denoising [17].
.
E) Image Denoising By Sparse 3D Transform-
Domain Collaborative Filtering
Image denoising strategy based on an
enhanced sparse representation in transform domain.
The improvement of the sparsity is achieved by
grouping similar 2D image fragments (e.g. blocks)
into 3D data arrays which we call "groups".
Collaborative filtering is a special procedure
developed to deal with these 3D groups. We
appreciate it using the three successive steps: 3D
transformation of a group, reduction of the transform
band, and inverse 3D transformation. The result is a
3D approximate that consists of the together filtered
grouped image blocks. By attenuating the noise, the
simultanious filtering reveals even the finest details
shared by grouped blocks and at the same time it
preserves the essential unique features of each
character block. The filtered blocks are returned to
their original locations. since these blocks are
overlapping, for each pixel we obtain several
different estimates which need to be combined.
Aggregation is a particular averaging process which
is exploited to take advantage of this redundancy. A
important improvement is obtained by a specially
developed collaborative Wiener filtering. An
algorithm based on this description denoising
approach and its efficient implementation is
presented in full detail; an extension to color-image
denoising is also developed. The experimental results
display that this computationally scalable algorithm
achieves state-of-the-art denoising performance in
terms of both peak signal-to-noise ratio and
subjective visual quality [18].
F) Image Denoising Using Mixtures of Projected
Gaussian Scale Mixtures
A new statistical model for image
restoration in which neighborhoods of wavelet sub
5. Pallavi Sharma et al Int. Journal of Engineering Research and Applications www.ijera.com

www.ijera.com 112 | P a g e
bands are modeled by a discrete mixture of linear
projected Gaussian Scale Mixtures . In each
projection, a lower dimensional approximation of the
local neighborhood is obtained, thus modeling the
strongest correlations in that neighborhood. The
model is a generalization of the just developed
Mixture of GSM (MGSM) model that offers a
significant improvement both in PSNR and visually
compared to the current state-of-the-art wavelet
techniques. Though the computation cost is very high
this hampers its use for practical purposes. We
present a quick EM algorithm that takes advantage of
the projection bases to speed up the algorithm. The
results explain that, when foretelling on a fixed data-
independent basis, even computational advantages
with a imperfect loss of PSNR can be obtained with
respect to the BLS-GSM denoising method, although
data-dependent bases of Principle Components offer
a higher denoising presentation, both visually and in
PSNR compared to the current wavelet-based state-
of-the-art denoising methods. The Mixtures of
Projected Gaussian Scale Mixtures (MPGSM) as a
means to further improve upon the recently proposed
MGSM model. The new model is a generalization of
the existing SVGSM, OAGSM and MGSM
techniques and allows for a lot of flexibility with
regard to the neighborhood size, spatial adaptation
and even when modeling dependencies between
different wavelet sub bands. We developed a fast EM
algorithm for the model training, based on the
―winner-take all‖ approach, taking benefit of the
Principal Component bases. We discussed how this
technique can also be used to speed up the denoising
itself. We discussed how data independent projection
bases can be constructed to allow flexible
neighborhood structures, offering computational
savings compared to the GSM-BLS method which
can be useful for real-time denoising applications.
Finally we showed the PSNR improvement of the
complete MPGSMBLS method compared to recent
wavelet-domain state-of the- art methods [19].
G) Bayesian Network Image Denosing
From the perspective of the Bayesian
approach, the denoising problem is basically a prior
probability modeling and estimation task. In this
paper, we suggest an approach that exploits a hidden
Bayesian system, constructed from wavelet
coefficients, to model the previous probability of the
original image. Then, we use the belief propagation
(BP) method, which estimates a coefficient based on
all the coefficients of an image, as the maximum-a-
posterior (MAP) estimator to develop the denoised
wavelet coefficients. We explain that if the network
is a spanning tree, the standard BP algorithm can
execute MAP estimation competently. Our
experiment results demonstrate that, in conditions of
the peak-signal-to-noise-ratio and perceptual quality,
the projected approach outperforms state-of-the-art
algorithms on various images, particularly in the
textured regions, with various amounts of white
Gaussian noise [20].

V. CONCLUSION
Bayesian image denoising using prior
models for spatial clustering. A new MRF prior
model was introduced to preserve image details
better. A joint significance measure, which combines
coefficients magnitudes and their evolution through
scales, was introduced. For the resulting, joint
conditional model a simple practical realization was
proposed and motivated via simulations. We have
described a novel adaptive denoising algorithm
where patch-based weights and variable window
sizes are jointly used. An advantage of the method is
that internal parameters can be easily chosen and are
relatively stable. The algorithm is able to denoise
both piecewise-smooth and textured natural images
since they contain enough redundancy. Actually, the
performance of our algorithm is very close, and in
some cases still surpasses, to that of the previously
published denoising methods. Also we just mention

that the algorithm can be easily parallelized since at
iteration, each pixel is processed independently.
However, some problems may occur when the
texture sample contains too many Texel’s making
hard to find close matches for the locality context
window.
