introduction: various computer assisted medical procedures such as dental implant, orthodontic planning, face, jaw and cosmetic surgeries require automatic quantification and volumetric visualization of teeth. in this regard, segmentation is a major step. material and methods: in this paper, inspired by our previous experiences and considering the anatomical knowledge of teeth and jaws, we prop...

speckle is a granular disturbance in coherent images such as synthetic aperture radar (sar) images, modeled as a multiplicative noise. this noise degrades the sar image and complicates the image exploitation using automated image analysis techniques. several approaches have been developed to reduce the effect of speckle noise. recently, the application of compressed sensing (cs) is explored in ...

An invariant feature matching method is proposed as a spatially invariant feature matching approach. Deformation effects, such as affine and homography, change the local information within the image and can result in ambiguous local information pertaining to image points. New method based on dissimilarity values, which measures the dissimilarity of the features through the path based on Eigenve...

introduction two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2dge) is a powerful technique in proteomics for protein separation. in this technique, spot segmentation is an essential stage, which can be challenging due to problems such as overlapping spots, streaks, artifacts and noise. watershed transform is one of the common methods for image segmentation. nevertheless, in 2dge image segmentation, the no...

 Image restoration is an essential preprocessing step for many image analysis applications. In any image restoration techniques, keeping structure of the image unchanged is very important. Such structure in an image often corresponds to the region discontinuities and edges. The techniques based on partial differential equations, such as the heat equations, are receiving considerable attention i...

The main issue in any image zooming techniques is to preserve the structure of the zoomed image. The zoomed image may suffer from the discontinuities in the soft regions and edges; it may contain artifacts, such as image blurring and blocky, and staircase effects. This paper presents a novel image zooming technique using Partial Differential Equations (PDEs). It combines a non-linear Fourth-ord...
