Introduction One of the most important pre-processing steps in optical coherence tomography (OCT) is reducing speckle noise, resulting from multiple scattering of tissues, which degrades the quality of OCT images. Materials and Methods The present study focused on speckle noise reduction and edge detection techniques. Statistical filters with different masks and noise variances were applied on ...

Introduction Non-invasive Fluorescent Reflectance Imaging (FRI) is used for accessing physiological and molecular processes in biological media. The aim of this article is to separate the overlapping emission spectra of quantum dots within tissue-equivalent phantom using SVD, Jacobi SVD, and NMF methods in the FRI mode. Materials and Methods In this article, a tissue-like phantom and an optical...

The contourlet transform has the benefit of efficiently capturing the oriented geometrical structures of images. In this paper, by incorporating the ideas of Stein’s Unbiased Risk Estimator (SURE) approach in Nonsubsampled Contourlet Transform (NSCT) domain, a new image denoising technique is devised. We utilize the characteristics of NSCT coefficients in high and low subbands and apply SURE sh...

This paper proposes two optimal Cordic Loeffler based DCT (Discrete Cosine Transform algorithm) architectures: a fast and low Power DCT architecture and a high PSNR DCT architecture. The rotation parameters of CORDIC angles required for these architectures have been calculated using a MATLAB script. This script allows the variation of the angle’s precision from 10−1 to 10−4. The experimental re...

There has been many techniques for hiding messages in images. We propose a new region-adaptive watermarking algorithm which will be used for the novel application to detect watermark attacks. One of the major advantages of the proposed watermarking detection technique is PSNR and RGB Intensity value that it allows tamper detection using linear classifier by providing these discriminating featur...

Now a day's use of an internet in public masses is growing. So large amount of data is stored in computers and transmitted over networks. Data security is main issue now days. Steganography is one of data hiding technique. In this paper we use a multilevel technique in audio steganography. By using multilevel technique we use three methods instead of one. Multilevel technique has advantage...

For more security to the information and to enhance the hiding capacity of an image. A new strategy in image steganography here we propose the region-adaptive watermarking algorithm which will be used for the novel application to detect watermark attacks. The major advantages of the proposed watermarking detection technique are PSNR and RGB Intensity value. For tamper detection using linear cla...
