Edge-Preserved Smoothing Method with Special Reference to Intravascular Ultrasound Image Using Anisotropic Diffusion Filter Controlled by Weighted Separability Measure
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes a novel edge-preserved smoothing method specialized for intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) image. In the proposed method, the processing of an anisotropic diffusion filter is controlled by the weighted separability of an IVUS image. The present method not only reduces a speckle noise but also enhances an edge on an IVUS image. The effectiveness of the proposed method is verified by the experiments using the real IVUS images. Key–Words: Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) image, Speckle noise reduction, Edge-preserved smoothing, Anisotropic diffusion, Weighted separability

Speckle Noise Reduction and Edge-Enhancement of Coronary Plaque Tissue in Intravascular Ultrasound Image by Using Anisotropic Diffusion Filter
This paper describes a novel edge-preserved smoothing method with special consideration to an intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) image. An IVUS image, which is commonly used for a diagnosis of acute coronary syndromes (ACS), is very grainy due to heavy speckle noise. The speckle noise prevents not only the medical doctors’ interpretation of the IVUS image, but also the processing of medical images...
متن کاملImage Denoising Using Anisotropic Diffusion Equations on Reflection and illumination Components of Image
This paper proposes a new hybrid method based on Homomorphic filtering and anisotropicdiffusion equations for image denoising. In this method, the Homomorphic filtering extracts the reflectionand illumination components of a noisy image. Then a suitable image denoising method based onanisotropic diffusion is applied to each components with its special user-defined parameters .This hybridscheme ...
متن کاملPAIRED ANISOTROPIC DISTRIBUTION FOR IMAGE SELECTIVE SMOOTHING
In this paper, we present a novel approach for image selective smoothing by the evolution of two paired nonlinear partial differential equations. The distribution coefficient in de-noising equation controls the speed of distribution, and is determined by the edge-strength function. In the previous works, the edge-strength function depends on isotropic smoothing of the image...
متن کاملA New Region-based PDE for Perceptual Image Restoration
In this paper, we present a new image regularization method using a rotating smoothing filter. The novelty of this approach resides in the mixing of ideas coming both from pixel classification which determines roughly if a pixel belongs to a homogenous region or an edge and an anisotropic perceptual edge detector which computes two precise diffusion directions. These directions are used by an a...
متن کاملA Quantitative Assessment of Edge Preserving Smoothing Filters for Edge Detection
Edge detection algorithms have traditionally utilized the Gaussian Linear Filter (GLF) for image smoothing. Although GLF has very good properties in removing noise and unwanted artifacts from an image, it is also known to remove many valid edges. To cope with this problem, edge preserving smoothing filters have been proposed and they have recently attracted increased attention. In this paper, w...
