Hyperspectral band image selection is a fundamental problem for hyperspectral remote sensing data processing. Accepting its importance, several information-based band selection methods have been proposed, which apply Shannon entropy to measure image information. However, the Shannon entropy is not accurate in measuring image information since it neglects the spatial distribution of pixels and i...

In this paper, we propose two novel algorithms, namely intensity selection (IS) and connection selection (CS), that can be applied to the existing halftone image data hiding algorithms DHSPT, DHPT and DHST to achieve improved visual quality. The proposed algorithms generalize the hidden data representation and select the best location out of a set of candidate locations for the application of D...

Introduction: To develop different radiomic models based on radiomic features and machine learning methods to predict early intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) response.   Materials and Methods: Thirty prostate patients were included. All patients underwent pre ad post-IMRT T2 weighted and apparent diffusing coefficient (ADC) magnetic resonance imagi...

In this paper the problem of image restoration (denoising and inpainting) is approached using sparse approximation of local image blocks. The local image blocks are extracted by sliding square windows over the image. An adaptive block size selection procedure for local sparse approximation is proposed, which affects the global recovery of underlying image. Ideally the adaptive local block selec...

Feature selection is an important step in designing image classification systems. While many automatic feature selection methods exist, most of them are opaque to their users. We consider that users should be able to gain insight into how observations behave in the feature space, since this may allow the design of better features and the incorporation of domain knowledge. For this purpose, we p...

Image classification could be treated as an effective solution to enable keyword-based semantic image retrieval. In this paper, we propose a novel image classification framework by learning semantic concepts of image categories. To choose representative features for an image category and meanwhile reduce noisy features, a three-step salient feature selection strategy is proposed. In the feature...

The success of the relevance feedback search paradigm in image retrieval is influenced by the selection strategy employed by the system to choose the images presented to the user for providing feedback. Indeed, this strategy has a strong effect on the transfer of information between the user and the system. Using SVMs, we put forward a new active learning selection strategy that minimizes redun...

abstract— due to the daily mass production and the widespread variation of medical x-ray images, it is necessary to classify these for searching and retrieving proposes, especially for content-based medical image retrieval systems. in this paper, a medical x-ray image hierarchical classification structure based on a novel merging and splitting scheme and using shape and texture features is prop...
