A simple technique of speckle photography has been applied to measure small changes/deformation of the surface of laser scattering materials. Low-cost commercial charge coupled device photo camera provides the images of Laser speckle pattern with the beam splitter arrangement. A speckle pattern has been taken with the system at rest and then second image captured after the deformation was made ...

1 Computer Science College, Sichuan University Abstract. In ultrasound image, because of the presence of speckle, the image contrast resolution is reduced. And the image speckle noise also limits the effective application of image processing and analysis methods such as edge detection and segmentation methods. In recent years, a class of new methods called anisotropic diffusion has been develop...

The paper presents and evaluates a speckle detection method for B-scan images. This is a fully automatic method and does not require information about the sensor parameters, which is often missing in retrospective studies. The characterization and posterior detection of speckle noise in ultrasound (US) has been regarded as an important research topic in US imaging, for improving signal-to-noise...

The speckle degrades quality of the image and makes interpretations, segmentation of objects harder. In this paper, we present a method for object detection of speckle image base on curvelet transform. The approximate properties and the high directional sensitivity of the curvelet transform make the new method for object detection of speckle image. We construct a method segmentation that provid...

Ultrasound imaging is the most commonly used imaging system in medical field. Main problem related to this imaging technique is introduction of speckle noise, thus making the image unclear. The success of ultrasonic examination depends on the image quality which is usually retarded due to speckle noise. There have been several techniques for effective suppression of speckle noise present in ult...

The impact of multiplicative speckle noise on data acquisition in coherent imaging is studied. This demonstrates the possibility to optimally adjust the level of the speckle noise in order to deliberately exploit, with maximum efficacy, the saturation naturally limiting linear image sensors such as CCD cameras, for instance. This constructive action of speckle noise cooperating with saturation ...

In this paper, we develop a random process theory to explain the laser speckle phenomena. The relation between the probability distribution of speckle's integrated intensity random process Y(t) and the relative velocity v(t) is derived. Based on the random process theory, traditional spatial or temporal laser speckle contrast analysis (i.e. spatial or temporal LASCA) can be derived as the spati...

BACKGROUND The use of objective methods for assessment of burns is limited. Laser Speckle Contrast Imaging (LSCI) is a non-invasive technique for instant measurement of tissue perfusion, making it potentially valuable for early prediction of burn wound outcome. AIM To evaluate the influence of technical factors on perfusion and to measure perfusion in burns 0-14 days post-burn and compare thi...
