3.1 IMAGE DENOISING
Denoising of image means, suppressing the effect of noise to an extent that the resultant image becomes acceptable. The spatial domain or transform (frequency) domain filtering can be used for this purpose. There is one to one correspondence between linear spatial filters and filters in the frequency domain. However, spatial filters offer considerably more versatility because they can also be used for non linear filtering, something we cannot do in the frequency domain. Recently wavelet transform is also being used to remove the impulse noise from noisy images. Historically, in early days filters were used uniformly on the entire image without discriminating between the noisy and noise-free pixels. mean filter such as

Researchers published different ways to compute the parameters for the thresholding of wavelet coefficients. Data adaptive thresholds were introduced to achieve optimum value of threshold. Later efforts found that substantial improvements in perceptual quality could be obtained by translation invariant methods based on thresholding of an Undecimated Wavelet Transform . These thresholding techniques were applied to the nonorthogonal wavelet coefficients to reduce artifacts. Multiwavelets were also used to achieve similar results. Probabilistic models using the statistical properties of the wavelet coefficient seemed to outperform the thresholding techniques and gained ground. Recently, much effort has been devoted to Bayesian denoising in Wavelet domain. Hidden Markov Models and Gaussian Scale Mixtures have also become popular and more research continues to be published. Tree Structures ordering the wavelet coefficients based on their magnitude, scale and spatial location have been researched. Data adaptive transforms such as Independent Component Analysis (ICA) have been explored for sparse shrinkage. The trend continues to focus on using different statistical models to model the statistical properties of the wavelet coefficients and its neighbors. Future trend will be towards finding more accurate probabilistic models for the distribution of non-orthogonal wavelet
Reflection is a serious thought or consideration that contributes to the lifelong process of personal development. Similarly, the two concepts of reflection and personal development are intertwined in a way that one contributes to the others success. In the Untitled Image by Sarolta Ban, a man is holding the hand of his younger self in a forest of paint brush trees. While walking through the forest, he reflects on his life where personal development has led him the accomplishments he has obtained today. Reflection is a key aspect in his personal development as it allows him to build confidence in everything he does and enhances his performance.
Hospitals, Doctor offices, and many more use lots of different imaging methods daily to check on different parts of your body. From doing an X-ray to check on your bones, to a CT scan to check on the brain for hemorrhages, tumors, and atrophy. To an MRI is used to image soft tissues of the body like the heart and lungs (Timberlake, Karen p. 340). In this research paper, I will talk about 2 more different imaging methods and come more in depth with X-rays, CT scans, and MRI’s.
After acquiring the image various preprocessing methods can be apply. The aim of this step is to improve the quality of the image that suppress unwanted distortion and enhance the image features which is important for further processing. Such as increase or decrease brightness, shape, contrast, remove the noise from the image.
Why I choose this image to work up and do analysis of. Well as a photographer it touches on a theme that I and other photographers must deal with. The idea that someone can get something for free. Just because we are photographers or even a regular artist that we are all just dying for more exposure and are willing to do whatever you want for some “good exposure”. I don’t think that most folks are all the self-severing, they are just unaware how much time and money goes into producing a good image. And suffer from this misbelief that this is just someone’s hobby and not their lively hood. Form the text of “trust me I am a professional Photographer I don’t work for free” and with the camera, lens, and SD cards in the middle. It
Image Repair Theory (IRT), created by William L. Benoit, evolved from the theory of apologia. The idea of apologia is that it is “natural for an attack on a person’s character to create a response from that person because when the public witnesses an attack on a person’s morality, motives or reputation, they expect a response from the accused,” (Brown, 2015, p.15). If someone takes a shot at a person’s character, people want to see what that person’s response. The way in which a person responds to a personal attack will show the public what a person’s true character is. The public will then form an opinion about the accused person, giving the person a good or bad image. Individuals place great importance on their image and reputation and when an image is threatened, people are motivated to do anything it takes to protect it.
I chose to analyze the case study, Tug Of War that was written by Yossi Sheffi and is found in the Harvard Business Review.
After watching the video I was able to conclude that every time I take a test I give the image of powerless without knowing it. The reason I believe this is because just like the example given on the video my actions are similar while taking a test. I tend to put my hand around my neck which provides a powerless image because it shrinking the body up. Therefore, my image seems weeks because usually when a human is frighten it crumbles up. Many people give these body messages without knowing or saying a word. Posing negatively can affect the person’s attitude probably causing for the person to do bad. For example, when I walk into a class, and I am going to have a test, that I do not feel confident about. Usually when I sit on my desk I am
However as the authors stressed, probably more significant than the change in how images are produced, distributed and used, are the ideas to which the changes are giving rise and how digital imaging is challenging and changing traditional ways of seeing and thinking. It seems that our traditional belief that ‘the camera never lies’ has been brought into question. It also appears important to consider who
Society today is so hell bent on maintaining a thin image because people think that is the best way to look good. Because of that kind of mindset chipped in our brain, people are eating less and working out more. It is a bad thing to think that your body is not perfect or does not amount to this person and that person. From my experience, I was that one kid who hung up pictures around my room of celebrities with the “perfect” body; you would see the toned abs, good muscle structure on their arms and that million dollar smile to go with their beautiful hair. Today, I do not care what this person looks like or that person; I am accepting of everyone around me regardless of their image. I try to encourage kids who are at that stage of self-consciousness when I was at that age to embrace what they have since you were given this body for a reason. Reading through so many different social media outlets and the comments left on the pictures of the people who have a good looking body is so sad; I have seen comments where kids admit that they have thrown up a
The input image contains various noises or other time-scale rapid/structured phenomenon. These images need to have relatively slow changes of value by giving little attention to the close matching of data values which can be done by filtering/smoothing operation.
In the proposed fusion framework, IHS transform is used to separate intensity component from MS images firstly. Then, SFIM and wavelet transform are applied to the intensity component of MS images and the Pan image to build the multi-scale representations which include the low- and high frequency sub-images in different scales, While SFIM can effectively preserve images’ spectral properties. Since the low- and high-frequency sub-images obtained from wavelet decomposition have different information of images, we process low- and high frequency sub-images with different strategies. At last, the inverse wavelet transform (IWT) and inverse IHS transform are applied to perform the fusion tasks. The visual and statistical analysis on the experimental results for Worldview-2 images shows the effectiveness of our proposed method.
Compare to the first group of neural networks, the image segmentation applications, especially for Biomedical dataset, usually spend more time on inference phase than classification applications. For example, Unet [20] will spend 3 to 4 seconds on a single image of ISBI cell tracking dataset on NVIDIA Tesla P100 GPU while AlexNet [11] can test hundreds of ImageNet [6] images within 0.1 second on the same machine. There are basically two reasons caused this phenomena. The first is the image output from electron microscopy contains about one million pixels, which is much larger than the images for the classification applications.
histogram would increase as the peak value of this histogram could decrease. By applying the re-normalized histogram as features, the experimental results show that the proposed method has the ability to detect a wide range of tamper operations, including single type and multiple types of tampering operations without the prior knowledge of tampering operation order, type and parameter.
Interpolation and denoising are two of the most well-known problems in image processing, and various methods based on various
