چکیده

Karyotyping is a process in which chromosomes in a dividing cell are properly stained, identified and displayed in a standard format, which helps geneticist to study and diagnose genetic factors behind various genetic diseases and for studying cancer. M-FISH (Multiplex Fluorescent In-Situ Hybridization) provides color karyotyping. In this paper, an automated method for M-FISH chromosome segmentation based on watershed transform followed by naive Bayes classification of each region using the features, mean and standard deviation, is presented. Also, a post processing step is added to re-classify the small chromosome segments to the neighboring larger segment for reducing the chances of misclassification. The approach provided improved accuracy when compared to the pixel-by-pixel approach. The approach was tested on 40 images from the dataset and achieved an accuracy of 84.21 %.

A New Algorithm for Voice Activity Detection Based on Wavelet Packets (RESEARCH NOTE)

Speech constitutes much of the communicated information; most other perceived audio signals do not carry nearly as much information. Indeed, much of the non-speech signals maybe classified as ‘noise’ in human communication. The process of separating conversational speech and noise is termed voice activity detection (VAD). This paper describes a new approach to VAD which is based on the Wavelet ...

A New Curvelet-Based Texture Classification Approach for Land Cover Recognition of SAR Satellite

Texture recognition of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images, an important technique in the remote sensing area, has been deeply interested in the past decade. It is a key method to analyze this special case of images in practical applications. Watershed transform seems to be a proper method utilized to segment images. However, speckle noise in SAR images and the low resolution of edges make th...

Postal Envelope Segmentation by 2-D Histogram Clustering through Watershed Transform

In this paper we present a new postal envelope segmentation method based on 2-D histogram clustering and watershed transform. Segmentation task consists in detecting the modes associated with homogeneous regions in envelope images such as handwritten address block, postmarks, stamps and background. The homogeneous modes in 2-D histogram are segmented through the morphological watershed transfor...
