In this paper we present a parallel implementation of image filtering using WPVM (Windows Parallel Virtual Machine), a message passing library. The main goal is to develop an implementation of an image filtering operation maintaining image quality and reducing response time. We analyze its performance in a Windows multicomputer using different filtering mask dimensions and types, image sizes an...

Image processing is a field consists of various stages for processing an image .One of the most important stage of image processing is image enhancement which effects the pictorial view of an image. In image enhancement, noise removal is very important and for this image filters are used.This paper provides a detailed study of various filtering techniques. The focus is on bilateral filtering as...

-This paperdescribes the various image filtering algorithms and techniques used for image filtering/smoothing. Image smoothing is one of the most important and widely used operation in image processing .We have explained various algorithms and techniques for filter the images and which algorithm is the be the best for smoothing and filtering the images, especially we have mainly concentrate on ...

Introduction In CT imaging, metallic implants inside the tissues cause metal artifact that reduce the quality of image for diagnosis. In order to reduce the effect of this artifact, a new method with more appropriate results has been presented in this research work. Materials and Methods The presented method comprised of following steps: a) image enhancement and metal areas extraction, b) sinog...
