Microcalcifications Using a Multichannel Filtering Approach
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper presents a method for classification of Mammographic Microcalcifications using Quadmture Mirror Filter (QMF) bank subband decomposition as a tool for extracting textuml features. The QMF bank splits the input image into four subbands: low-low band, low-high band, high-low band and high-high band, and textural features baaed on eo-occurrence matrices are computed from the subsampled subbands. The low-low band extmcts the information of spatial dependence and the higher jt.equency bands extract the structural information. The experiments demonstrate that our approach can provide significant discrimination for classijkation of benign and malignant microcalcificationr.

Multichannel Kondo approach to the cuprate and recent laser ARPES data
The existing theoretical approaches have been unable to confront the large corpus of outstanding data on the cuprate superconductor in a persuasive and unified manner. There is a general opinion now growing that these theories miss some essential points. We propose one based on multichannel Kondo effect that is physically justifiable and confronts the data adequately. In addition to earlier da...
متن کاملMultichannel Transform Domain Adaptive Filtering: a Two Stage Approach and Illustration for Acoustic Echo Cancelation
System identification is the underlying mechanism of adaptive filtering algorithms in the context of acoustic echo cancelation systems. Multichannel system identification is subject to specific problems emerging from spatio-temporal couplings in the input signals of the adaptive filter. This paper presents a generic multichannel transformdomain adaptive filtering approach. It is based upon a tw...
متن کاملA Multi-Microphone Speech Enhancement Algorithm Tested Using Acoustic Vector Sensors
In this paper, we present a speech enhancement algorithm for multi-microphone systems that enhances a target signal in noisy multi-talker situations. We apply the general multichannel Wiener filtering framework, for which we have developed a new technique to directly estimate the auto-correlation of the target signal assuming its direction is known. The advantage of our approach compared to tra...
متن کاملMultiscale bilateral filtering for improving image quality in digital breast tomosynthesis.
PURPOSE Detection of subtle microcalcifications in digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) is a challenging task because of the large, noisy DBT volume. It is important to enhance the contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) of microcalcifications in DBT reconstruction. Most regularization methods depend on local gradient and may treat the ill-defined margins or subtle spiculations of masses and subtle microca...
