چکیده

Considered as topographic reliefs, grayscale images can be decomposed into a number of peaks that can be stored in the data structure of a tree. This decomposition is called the peak analysis of grayscale images in this paper. Its mathematical definition and its fast algorithm based on the watershed transform are both presented. Due to its intuitive definition, there is a wide range of applications for the peak analysis. One of them was to measure the quantum dots in the AFM photos. The segment result proves to be very accurate and insensitive to noise to some degree. Keyword: Peak Analysis; Grayscale Image; AFM photo.

Improved Adaptive Median Filter Algorithm for Removing Impulse Noise from Grayscale Images

Digital image is often degraded by many kinds of noise during the process of acquisition and transmission. To make subsequent processing more convenient, it is necessary to decrease the effect of noise. There are many kinds of noises in image, which mainly include salt and pepper noise and Gaussian noise. This paper focuses on median filters to remove the salt and pepper noise. After summarizin...

Implementation of Huffman Image Compression And Decompression Algorithm

Compression is used about everywhere. Images are very important documents nowadays; to work with them in some applications they need to be compressed, more or less depending on the purpose of the application. There are various algorithms that performs this compression in different ways; some are lossless and keep the same information as the original image, some others loss information when comp...
