Bendlet Transform Based Adaptive Denoising Method for Microsection Images

Abstract

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) plays an important role in disease diagnosis. The noise that appears in MRI images is commonly governed by a Rician distribution. The bendlets system is a second-order shearlet transform with bent elements. Thus, the bendlets system is a powerful tool with which to represent images with curve contours, such as the brain MRI images, sparsely. By means of the characteristic of bendlets, an adaptive denoising method for microsection images with Rician noise is proposed. In this method, the curve contour and texture can be identified as low-frequency components, which is not the case with other methods, such as the wavelet, shearlet, and so on. It is well known that the Rician noise belongs to a high-frequency channel, so it can be easily removed without blurring the clarity of the contour. Compared with other algorithms, such as the shearlet transform, block matching 3D, bilateral filtering, and Wiener filtering, the values of Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR) and Structural Similarity Index Measure (SSIM) obtained by the proposed method are better than those of other methods.

Multibody Analysis of Sloshing Effect in a Glass Cylinder Container for Visual Inspection Activities

“…Therefore, it is clear from (7) that to calibrate the model, it is necessary to define the equivalent mass of the system m, the equivalent length of the pendulum L, and the equivalent damping σ of the liquid.…”

“…Today, however, most studies present in the literature consist of sloshing applications for vibration mitigation activities in structures [4][5][6]. In this work, the authors defined a simplified multibody model developed through a CFD analysis to determine the optimal operating conditions for serial manipulators used in visual control stations for glass containers [7][8][9][10][11]. The SimScape multibody multidomain simulation environment is increasingly used in complex systems analysis due to its ability to model the different subdomains that characterize real systems in a single environment [12][13][14].…”

Brain Tumor Segmentation Based on Bendlet Transform and Improved Chan-Vese Model

“…Bendlet [ 27 ] introduced bending elements as another degree of freedom based on Shearlet to approximate piecewise smooth images, known as a second-order Shearlet transform. Compared with other wavelet transforms, Bendlet transform has great advantages in image approximation.…”

Detection of Antibiotic Constituent in Aspergillus flavus Using Quantum Convolutional Neural Network

“…The first level of training achieved a lower accuracy rate of 82% due to inefficient pre-processing algorithms at the source camera leading to the utilization of poor-quality images for training. In order to overcome these issues, we modified the existing QCNN by incorporating a custom pre-processor algorithm based on adaptive denoising filter to compensate the ill effects of the camera microscopy thereby enhancing and speeding up the training process with the images of higher quality (Mei et al, 2022;Fernandes et al, 2019;Acharya et al, 2019). By this we could enhance the stage detection process thereby increasing the overall training and evaluation process of our proposed system.…”
