in this paper, an optimal algorithm is presented for de-noising of medical images. the presented algorithm is based on improved version of local pixels grouping and principal component analysis. in local pixels grouping algorithm, blocks matching based on l2 norm method is utilized, which leads to matching performance improvement. to evaluate the performance of our proposed algorithm, peak sign...

Data transmission security has become an extremely important field of research. Steganography is an art of hiding information in image, audio and video files in a way that would meet the security requirements in the form of overt or covert. In this study, we propose a new hybrid steganography technique for color images that hide secret messages in the frequency domain of a cover image's blu...

Image segmentation is still a crucial problem in image processing. It hasn yet been solved very well. In this study, we propose a novel multi-level thresholding image segmentation method based on PSNR using artificial bee colony algorithm (ABCA). PSNR is considered as an objective function of ABCA. The multi-level thresholds (t*1, t*2 ,...., t*n-1, t*n) are those maximizing the PSNR. We compare...

Image quality is a characteristic of an image that measures the perceived image degradation (typically, compared to an ideal or perfect image). Imaging systems may introduce some amounts of distortion or artifacts in the signal, so the quality assessment is an important problem JPEG compression is the most prevalent technique or method for image codec’s. But it suffers from blocking artifacts. ...
