In the context of video coding, temporal wavelets represent an interesting approach because of their low complexity, encoder-decoder symmetry and multiresolution nature. However, their use at low bit-rate is limited by severe artifacts called “ghost” artifacts. In this paper we propose a controlled temporal wavelet transform which overcomes these artifacts and enables the practical use of tempo...

Missing samples in the time domain introduce noise-like artifacts in the ambiguity domain due to their de facto zero values assumed by the bilinear transform. These artifacts clutter the dual domain of the time-frequency signal representation and obscures the time-frequency signature of single and multicomponent signals. In order to suppress the artifacts influence, we formulate a problem based...

Materials and Methods Attenuation map of hybrid F-18 FDG PET/MR mammography in 38 patients diagnosed with invasive breast carcinoma were retrospectively inspected for artifacts. The artifacts were subdivided into 2 groups with minor (group A) and major artifacts (group B) on the basis of their severity. The impact of μ-map artifacts on PET interpretation was evaluated qualitatively via visual a...

background and aims. at present, cone beam computed tomography (cbct) has become a substitute for computed tomography (ct) in dental procedures. the metallic materials used in dentistry can produce artifacts due to the beam hardening phenomenon. these artifacts decrease the quality of images. in the present study, the number of artifacts as a result of beam hardening in the images of dental imp...

OBJECTIVE Real-time 3-dimensional (3D) ultrasound imaging has the potential to become a dominant imaging technique for minimally invasive surgery. One barrier to its widespread use is that surgical instruments generate imaging artifacts, which can obfuscate their location, orientation, and geometry and obscure nearby tissue. The purpose of this study was to identify and describe the types of ar...

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is now an integral part of management for numerous retinal diseases for diagnosis, treatment planning and follow up. OCT interpretation must involve the understanding of the associated artifacts. These artifacts can mislead physicians to wrong diagnosis or inappropriate management. This review article discusses the various types of artifacts in OCT scans obtai...

First, the artifacts on display are supposed to be real. For example, a real amphora is displayed and not its photograph or some other facsimile. There are many disadvantages to this practice: Some artifacts are too large, or may be incomplete, making their display difficult; expensive measures have to be taken to assure security for the artifacts; and the displays need environmental conditions...
