The remarkable presence of side lobes levels in ultrasound B-mode imaging significantly decreases the image quality. Therefore, the use of an apodization function is of great importance. Linear windowing functions are among the most efficient techniques used to optimize antenna directivity by suppression of the side lobes. However, the apodization causes the degradation of lateral…

Dithering or error diffusion is a technique used to obtain a binary image, suitable for printing, from a grayscale one. At each step, the algorithm computes an allowed value of a pixel from a grayscale one, applying a threshold and, therefore, causing a conversion error. To obtain the optical illusion of a continuous tone, the…

Identification of Kamphaeng Saen beef cattle is important of the registration and traceability purposes. For a traditional identification methods, Hot Branding, Freeze Branding, Paint Branding, and RFID Systems can be replaced by genius human. This paper proposed a Kamphaeng Saen beef cattle identification approach using muzzle print images as an Animal Biometric approach. There are…

Haze removal is an extremely challenging task, and object detection in the hazy environment has recently gained much attention due to the popularity of autonomous driving and traffic surveillance. In this work, the authors propose a multiple linear regression haze removal model based on a widely adopted dehazing algorithm named Dark Channel Prior. Training this…

Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) is an imaging device mounted on a moving platform. Its ability to identify a weak target from a nearby strong one depends upon the peak side lobe ratio (PSLR). This paper is intended to ameliorate such important ratio through the use of windowing of the transmitted pulse and studying the noise…

The problem of recognizing traffic sign boards in a correct fashion is one of the major challenges since there is an alarming rate of increase in the number of road accidents happening because of incorrect interpretation of traffic sign boards in bad weather conditions. In this paper, a comparative analysis of various noise removal techniques…

Image stitching is a process of creating a panoramic image by combining multiple images that have overlapping regions of the same scene. It is a challenging topic in image processing, multimedia, and medical applications. The proposed system can be applied in medical applications for scoliosis operations and other long limb operations. The problem of the…

This paper is an extension of work originally presented at conference Applied Machine Intelligence and Informatics (SAMI), 2017 IEEE 13th International Symposium. The article performs a comparative study between the image compression technique Local Binary Compressed format (LBC) proposed by the authors and the standard image compression techniques used today (BMP, JPEG, PNG and GIF).…

The field of view (FOV) and spatial resolution (SR) are the major image quality parameters which are being optimized in neutron radiography (NR) technique. This requires effective components selection during the design of NR detector systems. The selection is a discouraging task owing to often having conflicting experimental requirements and related constraints. In this work,…

In this paper, the effect of plane spacing between electrode planes on Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) reconstructed images is investigated. Image properties of models for various plane spacings between electrode planes on EIT imaging were investigated by applying conventional measurement strategies. Sensitivity analysis and spatial resolution analysis were used to study the influence of the…
