Knee osteoarthritis is a significant cause of physical inactivity and disability. Early detection treatment (OA) degeneration can decrease its course. Physicians’ scores may differ significantly amongst interpreters are greatly influenced by personal experience based solely on visual assessment. Deep convolutional neural networks (CNN) in conjunction with the Kellgren–Lawrence (KL) grading syst...

The purpose of this research is to compare the original intra-oral digital dental radiograph images with images that are enhanced using a combination of image processing algorithms. Intraoral digital dental radiograph images are often noisy, blur edges and low in contrast. A combination of sharpening and enhancement method are used to overcome these problems. Three types of proposed compound al...

\Dimensionality" has recently been shown to be an important property in image measurement and image processing operators. It is often thought that morphological operations on an image with \volumic" (non-at) structuring elements lead to the breakdown of dimensionality. After a brief review of a new morphological scale-space, we show here that any dimensional functional of the scale-space image ...

Image enhancement for the better quality of image is required in various image based application. One of the technique to enhance the image is image fusion. It is an effective way for optimum utilization of large volumes of images from multiple sources. It extracts complete information from source images into the result, without introducing any artifacts or inconsistencies. In this process, it ...

The Bradford curves are used in the CIECAM97 colour appearance model, and are ‘sharpened’ in the sense that they have narrower support than the cone fundamentals. Spectral sharpening is a method which finds the linear combination of a set of sensors that is most sensitive to a given interval of the visible spectrum. Here we investigate the relationship between the apparently sharp Bradford curv...

Nature-inspired search algorithms have proved to be successful in solving real-world optimization problems. Firefly algorithm is a novel meta-heuristic algorithm which simulates the natural behavior of fireflies. This paper proposes a new sharpening technique based on the contourlet transform and firefly algorithm. Numerical results indicate the efficiency of the proposed approach. The paramete...
