Implementation of Order Statistic Filters on Digital Image and OCT Image : A Comparative Study
نویسندگان
چکیده
Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) technology introduces speckle, an insidious form of multiplicative noise which degrades the quality of OCT images. In this paper order statistics filters like Mean, Median, Min, Max and Alpha Trimmed Mean are implemented on digital image and OCT images. The images were tested with two different mask sizes of 5*5 and 7*7. The objective evaluation of both the types of images was performed using various image metrics like peak signal to noise ratio, root mean square error and image quality index. However, the existing algorithms proved to be effective for digital images and not for OCT images.

متن کاملBiomedical Image Denoising Based on Hybrid Optimization Algorithm and Sequential Filters
Background: Nowadays, image de-noising plays a very important role in medical analysis applications and pre-processing step. Many filters were designed for image processing, assuming a specific noise distribution, so the images which are acquired by different medical imaging modalities must be out of the noise. Objectives: This study has focused on the sequence filters which are selected ...

Extended abstract 1- Introduction Coasts maintain their natural sustainability without human intervention and in spite of short-term changes, we are ultimately confronted with a coastal healthy environment, i.e. natural, rocky beaches, sandy beaches and so on. Today's use of remote sensing in most natural sciences is widespread. Due to the fact that fieldwork is costly and time-consuming, ...
متن کاملImplementation of VlSI Based Image Compression Approach on Reconfigurable Computing System - A Survey
Image data require huge amounts of disk space and large bandwidths for transmission. Hence, imagecompression is necessary to reduce the amount of data required to represent a digital image. Thereforean efficient technique for image compression is highly pushed to demand. Although, lots of compressiontechniques are available, but the technique which is faster, memory efficient and simple, surely...
