Speckle noise reduction methods in cardiac cycles

چکیده
Speckle noise is omnipresent in imagistic and is an important problem in imagistic because it is the main source of noise in echography and echocardiography images and it should be reduced without affecting the image features. In spite of wider study dealing to speckle noise removal, until now there is no comprehensive method that covers all the constraints. In this study, three techniques were used for despeckling in echocardiography images along cardiac cycles for apical two chamber view (A2C), apical four chamber view (A4C), parasternal long axis view (LAX), and parasternal short axis view (SAX) and their results were compared. To assess the performances of filters, the correlation coefficient (CoC) was used. Following this analysis, the proper filtering method is recommended.

Speckle is a granular noise-like phenomenon which appears in Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images due to coherent properties of SAR systems. The presence of speckle complicates both human and automatic analysis of SAR images. As a result, speckle reduction is an important preprocessing step for many SAR remote sensing applications. Speckle reduction can be made through multi-looking during the...

Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images are inherently affected by a multiplicative noise-like phenomenon called speckle, which is indeed the nature of all coherent systems. Speckle decreases the performance of almost all the information extraction methods such as classification, segmentation, and change detection, therefore speckle must be suppressed. Despeckling can be applied by the multilooki...

Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) uses the spatial and temporal coherence properties of optical waves backscattered from a tissue sample to form an image. An inherent characteristic of coherent imaging is the presence of speckle noise. In this study we use a new ensemble framework which is a combination of several Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP) neural networks to denoise OCT images. The noise is...
متن کاملPerformance of Speckle Noise Reduction Filters on Active Radar and SAR Images
Reduction of speckle noise is one of the most important processes to increase the quality of radar coherent images. Image variances or speckle is a granular noise that inherently exists in and degrades the quality of the active radar and SAR images. Before using active radar and SAR imageries, the very first step is to reduce the effect of Speckle noise. Most of speckle reduction techniques hav...
