Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images suffer of multiplicative speckle noise, which damages the radiometric resolution of SAR images and makes the data interpretation difficult. Bayesian shrinkage in a transformed domain is a well-known method based on finding threshold value to suppress the speckle noise. This paper present a new approach to obtain the optimum threshold values for Bayesian shr...

Breast cancer is one of the most common kinds of cancer, as well as the leading cause of disease among women. Early detection and diagnosis of breast cancer increases the chances for successful treatment and complete recovery for the patient. Mammography is currently the most sensitive method to detect early breast cancer; however, the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the most attractive alt...

Directional multiresolution image representations have lately attracted much attention. A number of new systems, such as the curvelet transform and the more recent contourlet transform, have been proposed. A common issue of these transforms is the redundancy in representation, an undesirable feature for certain applications (e.g. compression). Though some critically sampled transforms have also...

All rights reserved by www.ijsrd.com 2296 Abstract--Image fusion is used to generate information from multiple images of the same scene to get a composite image that is more suitable for image-processing tasks i.e. Surveillance, Medical applications. In this paper the multisource medical images like MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging), CT (computed tomography) & PET (positron emission tomography) ...

A category of techniques for secret data communication called steganography hides data in multimedia mediums. It involves embedding secret data into a cover-medium by means of small perceptible and statistical degradation. In this paper, a new adaptive steganography method based on contourlet transform is presented that provides large embedding capacity. We called the proposed method ContSteg. ...
