one of the problems in the ground-based circular synthetic aperture radar is the dependence of the azimuth resolution to the antenna rotation radius and operational limitation of increasing it. to enhance the image quality in azimuth, model-based image formation through three methods: matched filter, inverse filter and optimum filter is suggested and analyzed. for the purpose of comparison, thr...

The image of a brand is the first word or image that is evoked in the mind of costumers immediately after hearing the brand name. The purpose of paying attention to the brand image is to ensure the proper mentality of consumers toward the brand. The components such as suitability, services, brand, variety, quality, and atmosphere form the brand image. The relationship between the brand image an...

introduction one of the most important pre-processing steps in optical coherence tomography (oct) is reducing speckle noise, resulting from multiple scattering of tissues, which degrades the quality of oct images. materials and methods the present study focused on speckle noise reduction and edge detection techniques. statistical filters with different masks and noise variances were applied on ...

objective(s): a novel iq-specttm method has become widely used in clinical studies. the present study compares the quality of myocardial perfusion images (mpi) acquired using the iq-specttm (iq-mode),conventional (180° apart: c-mode) and l-mode (90° apart: l-mode) systems. we assessed spatial resolution, image reproducibility and quantifiability using various physical phantoms. materials and me...

Digital image processing is an emerging tool to predict fruit quality; therefore present study was carried out to develop an image processing technique for investigating the storage life of cantaloupe. Potassium permanganate (KMnO4) impregnated materials were used to prolong the postharvest life of cantaloupe fruit and the effects of these treatments were evaluated by 3 image textural features ...

Impulsive noise is one of the imposed defectives degrades the quality of images. Performance of many image processing applications directly depends on the quality of the input image. Hence, it is necessary to de-noise the degraded images without losing their valuable information such as edges. In this paper we propose a method to remove impulsive noise from color images without damaging the ima...

conclusions modern cts with the innovative technology of a built-in tin filter allow for significant reduction of radiation exposure in patients with suspected urolithiasis by optimizing the x - ray spectrum with image quality as high as in standard ct devices results ct examinations of a total of 143 patients were assessed. dlp of force was 56% and 55% lower in comparison to as+ and flash, (74...

In this paper, a new steganography scheme with high embedding payload and good visual quality is presented. Before embedding process, secret information is encoded as block using Reed-Muller error correction code. After data encoding and embedding into the low-order bits of host image, modulus function is used to increase visual quality of stego image. Since the proposed method is able to embed...
