Adaptive K-Means Clustering For Improving Non- Local Means Filtering
Recording devices whether analog or digital, have traits which make them susceptible to noise. In selecting a noise reduction algorithm, one must weigh several factors. Image denoising is defined as a method to recover a true image from an observed noisy image and is applied in display systems to improve the quality of image. One of the popular denoising methods, NLM, produces the quality of im...
متن کاملNon-local Means Resolution Enhancement of Lung 4D-CT Data
Image resolution in 4D-CT is a crucial bottleneck that needs to be overcome for improved dose planning in radiotherapy for lung cancer. In this paper, we propose a novel patch-based algorithm to enhance the image quality of 4D-CT data. Our premise is that anatomical information missing in one phase can be recovered from complementary information embedded in other phases. We employ a patch-based...
متن کاملMotion-Compensated 4D Processing of Gated SPECT Perfusion Studies
† Research supported by NIH/NHLBI Grant HL65425. Abstract—In this paper we present two 4D motion-compensated reconstruction algorithms for gated cardiac SPECT. The algorithms are based on a deformable content-adaptive mesh model, a compact image representation that is well suited for motion tracking of non-rigid objects like the heart. In this paper we introduce a reconstruction method using in...
متن کامل4D Processing of Gated SPECT Images Using Deformable Mesh Modeling
In this work we present a new 4D approach for reducing noise in gated SPECT perfusion images while preserving accurate cardiac motion. The method is based on motioncompensated temporal smoothing using a deformable content-adaptive mesh to model cardiac motion. We use a new, fast method for initial mesh generation. This mesh is then deformed to track cardiac motion and smoothing is performed alo...
متن کاملMultiscale Hybrid Non-local Means Filtering Using Modified Similarity Measure
—A new multiscale implementation of non-local means filtering for image denoising is proposed. The proposed algorithm also introduces a modification of similarity measure for patch comparison. The standard Euclidean norm is replaced by weighted Euclidean norm for patch based comparison. Assuming the patch as an oriented surface, notion of normal vector patch is being associated with each patch....
