background: patient radiation doses from computed tomography (ct) are increasing due to the number of ct examinations performed every day. the aim of this study was assess and evaluate patient radiation doses for adult’s common ct examinations to derive local diagnostic guidance levels for common ct examinations. materials and methods: volume and weighted computed tomography dose index (ctdivol...

With an increased interest in applications that require a clean background image, such as video surveillance, object tracking, street view imaging and location-based services on web-based maps, multiple algorithms have been developed to reconstruct a background image from cluttered scenes. Traditionally, statistical measures and existing image quality techniques have been applied for evaluating...

Background: Body image is an integral component of the self-concept that significantly shapes human functioning and people’s life outcomes. Although negative body image is well-studied, there is little research on positive body image. The study examined the basic characteristics of positive body image intending to standardize a scale for it.  Methods: The study used using an exploratory resear...

The assessment of image quality is important in numerous image processing applications. Two prominent examples, the Structural Similarity Image (SSIM) index and Multi-scale Structural Similarity (MS-SSIM) operate under the assumption that human visual perception is highly adapted for extracting structural information from a scene. Results in large human studies have shown that these quality ind...

When underwater vehicles work, images are often absorbed by light and scattered diffused floating objects, which leads to the degradation of images. The generative adversarial network (GAN) is widely used in image enhancement tasks because it can complete image-style conversions with high efficiency quality. Although GAN converts low-quality into high-quality (truth images), dataset truth also ...

The image quality assessment has been widely used in image processing. Several researches have been developed and carried considering the Human Visual System (HVS). Under the hypothesis that human visual perception is extremely adapted to retrieve structural information from a scene, the SSIM index is the most widely used in this area, which leads to a better correlation with HVS. Despite its r...

Abstract. The recent process of digitalizing archives has increased the importance of choosing the best compression method and evaluating the quality of the compressed materials. Our paper focuses on monochrome portrait photographs. We suggest using an image quality index partly based on Human Visual System. We think that, despite its simplicity, it equals with Mean Subjective Rank. In addition...

The recent process of digitalizing archives has increased the importance of choosing the best compression method and evaluating the quality of the compressed materials. Our paper focuses on monochrome photographs. We suggest a new image quality index partly based on Human Visual System. We think that, despite its simplicity, it is equal to Mean Subjective Rank. In addition, we intend to ascerta...

The focus of this study is the evaluation of the Image Quality Index (IQI) in mosaics generated from aerial images collected by a Remotely Piloted Aircraft (RPA). The software packages used to generate the mosaics were PhotoModeler, PhotoScan and Pix4Dmapper. The mosaic generated by the software PhotoScan was superior to the others visually, but inferior to the software PhotoModeler in relation...
