introduction: diabetic retinopathy (dr) is one of the most serious and most frequent eye diseases in the world and the most common cause of blindness in adults between 20 and 60 years of age. following 15 years of diabetes, about 2% of the diabetic patients are blind and 10% suffer from vision impairment due to dr complications. this paper addresses the automatic detection of microaneurysms (ma...

For many years, speech has been the most natural and efficient means of information exchange for human beings. With the advancement of technology and the prevalence of computer usage, the design and production of speech recognition systems have been considered by researchers. Among this, lip-reading techniques encountered with many challenges for speech recognition, that one of the challenges b...

diabetic retinopathy is one of the most important reasons of blindness which causes serious damage in the retina. the aim of this research is to detect one lesions of the retina, named exudates automatically with image processing techniques. preprocessing is the first step of proposed algorithm. after preprocessing, the optic disc was detected and removed from the retinal image due to the same ...

Image segmentation is one of the most common steps in digital image processing. The area many image segmentation algorithms (e.g., thresholding, edge detection, and region growing) employed for classifying a digital image into different segments. In this connection, finding a suitable algorithm for medical image segmentation is a challenging task due to mainly the noise, low contrast, and steep...
