introduction:  breast  cancer  is  a  leading  cause  of  death  among  females  throughout  the  world.  currently,  radiologists are able to detect only 75% of breast cancer cases. making use of computer-aided design (cad)  can play an important role in helping radiologists perform more accurate diagnoses.   material and methods: using our hybrid method, the background and the pectoral muscle...

Feature extraction is a collection of the necessary detailed information from given source, which holds for further analysis. The quality fused image depends on many parameters, particularly its directional selectivity and shift-invariance. On other hand, traditional wavelet-based transforms produce ringing distortions artifacts due to poor directionality shift invariance. Dual-Tree Complex Wav...

this paper presents, a hybrid method, low-resolution and high-resolution, for persian page segmentation. in the low-resolution page segmentation, a pyramidal image structure is constructed for multiscale analysis and segments document image to a set of regions. by high-resolution page segmentation, by connected components analysis, each region is segmented to homogeneous regions and identifying...

 ABSTRACTBackground: Delivering the radiation dose to the target volume and minimizing the dose to normal tissues are the main objectives in radiotherapy. The aim of our study is to enhance the contrast of the portal image to increase the accuracy of delineation of the organs in the irradiation field.   Methods: The software was written based on local enhancement of the pixel values in image ma...

The drawback of using a global operator is its inability in revealing image details of local luminance variation. On the contrary, the advantage of a local operator is its capability of revealing the details of luminance level information in an image. In the image enhancement technology, we have proposed local contrast enhancement based on Adaptive Inverse Hyperbolic Tangent Algorithm (AIHT), a...

Watermarking is one of the best solutions for copyright protection and authentication of multimedia contents. In this paper a hybrid scheme is proposed using wavelet and shearlet transforms with singular value decomposition. For better security, Arnold map is used for encryption. Examining the results and comparing with other methods show that this hybrid proposed scheme with simultaneous utili...

This paper is based on the glimpse of a comparative analysis of image edge enhancement techniques of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images. The importance of edge enhancement is very much significant for SAR image recognition and other purposes. The first portion of this paper is based on a novel edge enhancement algorithm based on 2D wavelet transform. This method also signifies the motive to ...

This paper presents a novel technique of image Enhancement which can be widely used in medical and biological imaging to improve the image quality. The principle objective of enhancement is to process an image so that the result is more suitable than the original image for a specific application. Image enhancement enhances weak edges or weak features in an image while keeping strong edges or fe...

Background: Volume estimation of brain is important for many neurological applications. It is necessary in measuring brain growth and changes in brain in normal/abnormal patients. Thus, accurate brain volume measurement is very important. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the method of choice for volume quantification due to excellent levels of image resolution and between-tissue contrast. St...
