Introduction: SPECT is a diagnostic imaging technique the main disadvantage of which is the existence of Poisson noise. So far, different methods have been used by scientists to improve SPECT images. The Wavelet Transform is a new method for de-noising which is widely used for noise reduction and quality enhancement of images. The purpose of this paper is evaluation of noise reduction in SPECT ...

Magnetic resonance (MR) images acquired with fast measurement often display poor signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and contrast. With the advent of high temporal resolution imaging, there is a growing need to remove these noise artifacts. The noise in magnitude MR images is signal-dependent (Rician), whereas most de-noising algorithms assume additive Gaussian (white) noise. However, the Rician distri...

We propose a new method to perform atmospheric correction and de-noising on hyperspectral image cubes acquired by the Compact Reconnaissance Imaging Spectrometer for Mars (CRISM) board NASA’s Orbiter (MRO). The CRISM imager has had an important role in advancing our understanding of many aspects Martian mineralogy. Many mineral detections from data have been facilitated significant efforts deve...

Raman spectroscopy is a powerful non-destructive technique for qualitatively and quantitatively characterizing materials. However, noise often obscures interesting Raman peaks due to the inherently weak Raman signal, especially in biological samples. In this study, we develop a method based on spectral reconstruction to recover Raman spectra with low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). The synthesis o...

Partial Discharge (PD) pattern recognition plays an important part in electrical equipment fault diagnosis and maintenance. Feature extraction could greatly affect recognition results. Traditional PD feature extraction methods suffer from high-dimension calculation and signal attenuation. In this study, a novel feature extraction method based on Ensemble Empirical Mode Decomposition (EEMD) and ...
