Simultaneous compression and speckle reduction of clinical breast and fetal ultrasound images using rate-fidelity optimized coding
2021, UltrasonicsCitation Excerpt :Furthermore, medical image coding is inherently different from the coding of natural images in the sense that the diagnostic value of the image should be preserved, rather than its overall visual subjective appearance. Various techniques for ultrasound image compression have been suggested [25–32]. The impact of transform-like compression methods had been studied, and it was demonstrated that compression ratios of 20:1 to 40:1 are attainable with fair image quality.
Variance-constrained resilient H<inf>∞</inf> filtering for time-varying nonlinear networked systems subject to quantization effects
2017, NeurocomputingCitation Excerpt :On another research frontier, it is now well recognized that in comparison to analog systems, digital systems have many advantages, such as small size, high precision and strong anti-interference. On the other hand, in today’s networked systems, the extensive adoption of digital components will inevitably give rise to certain unanticipated phenomena, for example, the quantization effects [8,12,13,29,38]. The error between the original value and quantized value cannot be negligible, and accordingly, quite a few techniques have been proposed to analyze and mitigate the quantization effects, among which the most common way is to treat the quantization errors as uncertainties.
Comparison of evolutionary and swarm based computational techniques for multilevel color image thresholding
2014, Applied Soft Computing JournalCitation Excerpt :Distinguishing the objects in an image from the background by determining a single threshold value is called bilevel thresholding [1], while separating the image into numerous different regions regarding with their colors by setting multiple threshold values is known as multilevel color image thresholding [2]. Popular applications for image thresholding are video and image compression [3–5], geovideo and document processing [6], particle counting [7,8] and object recognition [9,10]. It is possible to determine the optimum threshold in an image by analyzing the image histogram characteristics or by optimizing an objective function [11].
Technology and research developments in carotid image registration
2012, Biomedical Signal Processing and ControlCitation Excerpt :Intensity-based registration methods can be automated because such geometric features as points and surfaces do not need to be segmented from the images. However, for some applications, intensity-based methods are susceptible to local optima in the cost function and thus need initial transformations that are close to the correct transformation in order to converge reliably [12,14,16,23]. A relatively new class of hybrid approaches combines advantages of both geometric and intensity approaches to achieve more accurate registration in difficult problems.
Ultrasound Contrast Imaging Based on a Novel Algorithm Combined Pulse Inversion with Wavelet Transform
2011, Ultrasound in Medicine and BiologyCitation Excerpt :Wavelet transform (WT) is a promising technique for time-scale (or time-frequency) analysis that decomposes a signal into components that appear at different scales. It can provide more flexible and powerful performance than common correlation analysis and has been extensively utilized in background removing, image compression as well as image denoising (Tan and Brown. 2002; Kaur et al. 2007; Zhang et al. 2001). Among various types of WT, continuous wavelet transform (CWT), because of its redundancy, is a good tool for analysis and feature determination.
