This paper proposes a novel set of 16 features based on the statistics of geometrical attributes of connected regions in a sequence of binary images obtained from a texture image. Systematic comparison using all the Brodatz textures shows that the new set achieves a higher correct classification rate than the well-known Statistical Gray Level Dependence Matrix method, the recently proposed Stat...

Disguised face recognition is a major challenge in the field of face recognition which has been taken less attention. Therefore, in this paper a disguised face recognition algorithm based on Local Phase Quantization (LPQ) method and Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) is presented which deals with two main challenges. The first challenge is when an individual intentionally alters the appearance ...

Image denoising by block matching and threedimensionaltransform filtering (BM3D) is a two steps state-ofthe-art algorithm that uses the redundancy of similar blocks innoisy image for removing noise. Similar blocks which can havesome overlap are found by a block matching method and groupedto make 3-D blocks for 3-D transform filtering. In this paper wepropose a new block grouping algorithm in th...

Introduction: Using computed tomography (CT) is increasing significantly in Iran and worldwide. Reduction of CT's radiation dose is a critical concern. The aim of this study was evaluating the effect of localizer kVp on spiral CT images when the tube current modulation (TCM) is activated. Materials and Methods: A special wedding cake phantom with circular in...

Introduction: One of the major problems in the development of nuclear medicine images is the presence of noise. The noise level in nuclear medicine images is usually reduced by the analysis of imaging data in a Fourier transform environment. The main drawback of this environment belongs to low signal to noise ratio in high frequencies because removing noise frequencies may remove data and times...

The extraction of text in an image is a classical problem in the computer vision. Extraction involves detection, localization, tracking, extraction, enhancement and recognition of the text from the given image. However variation of text due to difference in size, style, orientation, alignment, low image contrast and complex background make the problem of automatic text extraction extremely chal...
