The temporal redundancies among the images are used for efficient code motion. Here, a simple method to increase the accuracy of most interframe predictions is to account for the frame-to-frame motion of objects. Using an interframe predictor, the compression has been increased to 2.085. In linear predictive coding and variable length Huffman coding, the compression is loss less and due to the fact that the entropy of the resulting prediction residuals is lowers than the entropy of the frame.","PeriodicalId":170271,"journal":{"name":"2012 International Conference on Machine Vision and Image Processing (MVIP)","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115636797","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The proposed work further explores comparison between neuro fuzzy based image fusion and iterative neuro fuzzy fusion technique along with quality evaluation metrics for image fusion like image quality index, mutual information measure, fusion factor, fusion symmetry, fusion index, root mean square error, peak signal to noise ratio, entropy, correlation coefficient and spatial frequency.

These measurements need more than one measuring instrument, which cumulatively costs much. Machine Vision is the suitable remedial solution, which acts fast and reduces the cost for large quantity measurement. In this work, an updated version of analyzer is developed by collaborating Machine vision software with Visual Basic 6.0 to make easy and comfortable, even the user is not fully aware of machine vision operations. The Geneva wheel is designed and modeled using CAD software, the dimensional features of the component is compared with the original modeled CAD image, taken as template. For this, a machine Vision software named Sherlock™ is interfaced with Visual Basic 6.0 designed window. This window is customized for user friendly environment to facilitate even an unskilled operator to operate the inspection system without having a deep knowledge about Machine Vision and its software's.","PeriodicalId":170271,"journal":{"name":"2012 International Conference on Machine Vision and Image Processing (MVIP)","volume":"56 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130654818","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The need for early detection cannot be overstated. Towards this, mammography is a boon for both early detection and screening of breast cancer tumors. It is an imaging system that uses low dose x-rays for examining the breasts, by the electrons reflected from the tissues. The use of screening mammography is associated with the detection of breast cancer at an earlier stage and smaller size, resulting in a reduction in mortality. This study was aimed at enhancing the current accuracy (diagnostic) of digital mammograms using industry standard simulation software tool, MATLAB and the MIAS dataset. The technique involves identification of tumor cells to segment them in terms of different stages of the disease. We consider the process of object detection, recognition and classification of mammograms with the aim of differentiating between normal and abnormal (benign or cancerous) cells. It is reported that dense breasts can make traditional mammograms more difficult to interpret. Although newer digital mammography techniques claim for better detection in dense breast tissues, the availability of such expensive digital mammograms is not widespread. This problem can be minimized by analyzing different breast structures (mammograms) using the MATLAB numerical analysis software for image processing applications. The results indicated up to 91% accuracy, compared to 70% at present. Our proposed solution has proved to be an effective way of detecting breast cancer early in different types of breast tissues.","PeriodicalId":170271,"journal":{"name":"2012 International Conference on Machine Vision and Image Processing (MVIP)","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121635755","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Since, no pan, tilt and zoom camera is assumed, a simple background subtraction is used to extract the foreground region. Histogram projection technique is applied to remove shadow from the foreground image. The extreme points of the foreground region are detected using star skeletonization algorithm are then localized by partitioning them into equal sized blocks.

The aim of this paper is to segment regions of dental cysts. It is necessary to choose suitable segmentation method because of adverse parameters of the regions. The regions of the cysts are of low contrast and the pixel intensity distribution is not homogenous, hence the semiautomatic live-wire method was chosen. Live-wire segmentation is an interactive tool for efficient, accurate boundary extraction which requires minimal user input with a mouse. This algorithm calculates the local cost [1] and then applies modified shortest path algorithm for better results. This approach to image segmentation is faster and more accurate than manual segmentation. It is very good compromise between simple manual edge tracing and automatic methods such as thresholding, watershed segmentation or other methods whose results must be post-processed.","PeriodicalId":170271,"journal":{"name":"2012 International Conference on Machine Vision and Image Processing (MVIP)","volume":"12 3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127946575","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These objects could then be selectively masked out while printing, and given as an option while printing is selected. Alternatively a low resolution of the same image can then be embedded into that region for completeness.

Hence automatic detection of these diseases through computational techniques would be a great remedy. In this paper, a novel computational approach for automatic disease detection is proposed that utilizes retinal image analysis and data mining techniques to accurately categorize the retinal images as Normal, Diabetic Retinopathy and Glaucoma affected. Three feature relevance and sixteen classification Algorithms were analyzed and used to identify the contributing features that gave better prediction results. Our results prove that C4.5 and random tree classification techniques generate the maximum multi-class categorization training accuracy of 100% in classifying 45 images from the Gold Standard Database. Moreover the Fisher's Ratio algorithm reveals the most minimal and optimal set of predictive features on the retinal image training data.","PeriodicalId":170271,"journal":{"name":"2012 International Conference on Machine Vision and Image Processing (MVIP)","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121550897","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
