The purpose of this article is to exhibit metrics and models for estimating return on investment (ROI) of software process improvement (SPI). Additionally, this article is designed to show software managers and engineers: 1) how to estimate ROI early, quickly, and accurately, 2) how to maximize ROI using total life cycle costs, and 3) how to estimate ROI for Inspections, Personal Software Proce...

Radiologists generally uses mammogram images for extracting masses or cancer effected breast issues using texture features of the by segmenting techniques. The most commonly used technique in this process is region interest (ROI). But method fails large collection image database. To address issue present paper proposed multi-ROI (M-ROI) technique. This not only reduces limitations ROI but also ...

In this paper, a novel fully automatic classification method of breast tumors using ultrasound (US) image is proposed. The proposed method can be divided into two steps: “ROI generation step” and “ROI classification step”. In the ROI generation step, the proposed method focuses on finding a credible ROI instead of finding the precise location of the breast tumor. In the ROI classification step,...

We introduce a novel method for full 3D Region Of Interest (ROI) reconstruction in computed tomography (CT), called Searchlight CT, which reduces the overall radiation exposure when primarily the reconstruction of a specified ROI is required. To achieve this goal, the Searchlight CT approach restricts the acquisition essentially to X-rays passing through the ROI, yet the algorithm provides a st...
