Segmentation of adjoining objects in a noisy image is a challenging task in image processing. Natural images often get corrupted by noise during acquisition and transmission. Segmentation of these noisy images does not provide desired results, hence de-noising is required. In this paper, we tried to address a very effective technique called adaptive wavelet thresholding for de-noising, followed...

The electrocardiogram (ECG) is widely used for diagnosis of heart diseases. Good quality of ECG is utilized by physicians for interpretation and identification of physiological and pathological phenomena. However, in real situations, ECG recordings are often corrupted by artifacts. Noise severely limits the utility of the recorded ECG and thus need to be removed, for better clinical evaluation....

Noise affects images during transmission or processing. The quality of image is affected by noise so to retain the quality of image an operation is performed that is called de-noising. De-noising basically deals with the removal of noise from noise contaminated version of image. There are different method of image de-noising depend upon the noise that is present in the image. This paper present...

De-noising and extraction of the weak signature are crucial to fault prognostics in which case features are often very weak and masked by noise. The wavelet transform has been widely used in signal de-noising due to its extraordinary time-frequency representation capability. In this paper, the performance of wavelet decomposition-based de-noising and wavelet filter-based de-noising methods are ...

CT image De-noising is an important research topic both in image processing and biomedical engineering. Independent component analysis (ICA) is a statistical technique where the goal is to represent a set of random variables as a linear transformation of statistically independent component variables. The curvelet transform as a multiscale transform has directional parameters occurs at all scale...

In this paper, an approach of principal component analysis (PCA) with local pixel grouping (LPG) is used to de-noising the noisy historical document image. This technique ensures the preservation of historic document image local structure. This is due to block matching based LPG which carries out classification to allow only the sample blocks with similar contents used in the calculation for PC...

In ultrasonic testing of welding flaws, the reliability and quality of tests are considerably affected by noise and spurious signals. Thus, signal de-noising and increasing of the signal-noise ratio (SNR) are a key to successful application of ultrasonic NDT and NDE. At present, there are many methods for signal de-noising, such as median filtering, non-linear filtering, adaptive filtering, cor...

The de-noising of an image corrupted by Gaussian noise is a classical problem in signal or image processing. An image is often corrupted by noise during its acquisition and transmission. Image de-noising is used to reduce the noise while retaining the important features in the image. Always there exists a tradeoff between the removed noise and the blurring in the image. The use of wavelet trans...

Image de-noising and clustering in medical images are quite complex because of narrow dynamic range and in-homogeneity. Pre processing steps like image de-noising do have influence over the subsequent image processing which misleads further image analysis. In this paper, a new method which incorporates the advantages of adaptive center weighted median filter and hybrid median filter, called Ite...

In many image transmission and acquisition situations, the image may become cornlpted by additive noise. De-noising refers to the process of removing the noise while maintaining good visual quality. This problem has assumed major significance with the increase in image related communication that has accompanied the exponential growth of the intemet. Traditionally, image quality is measured in t...
