In this paper an equalization technique for colour images is introduced. The method is based on n th root and n th power equalization approach but with optimization of the mean of the image in different colour channels such as RGB and HSI. The performance of the proposed method has been measured by the means of peak signal to noise ratio. The proposed algorithm has been compared with convention...

Histogram Equalization (HE) is an effective technique for contrast enhancement. However, the traditional HE method usually results in extreme over-enhancement, which causes the unnatural look and visual artifacts in the processed image. To solve the problem, we propose a novel Modulated Histogram Equalization (MHE) image contrast enhancement algorithm based on Adaptive Inverse Hyperbolic Tangen...

It is now generally believed that the majority of strokes are caused by emboli from distal sites, rather than by local haemorrhagic or occlusive processes. The discovery that emboli of various types can be detected using Doppler ultrasound as they are carried through the major cerebral arteries has led to a new field of study, which appears to have considerable potential both in research and cl...

In an attempt to develop a new approach to the non-invasive measurement of aortic regurgitation, transmitral volumetric flow (MF) and left ventricular total stroke volume (SV) were measured by Doppler and cross sectional echocardiography in 23 patients without aortic valve disease (group A) and in 26 patients with aortic regurgitation (group B). The transmitral volumetric flow was obtained by m...

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) signal variations are based on a combination of changes in cerebral blood flow (CBF) and volume (CBV), and blood oxygenation. We investigated the relationship between these hemodynamic parameters in the rodent barrel cortex by performing fMRI concurrently with laser Doppler flowmetry (LDF) or optical imaging spectroscopy (OIS), following whisker stim...
