Early detection of DR is used to support the patients to prevent blindness and to be aware of this disease. This paper proposes a novel technique for detecting DR using hybrid classifiers. It includes pre-processing of the image, segmentation of region of interest, feature extraction and classification. Retinal structures like microaneurysms, exudates, hemorrhages and blood vessels are segmented. Classification is performed with integration of Fuzzy logical System and Neural Network (NN) which improves the accuracy of classification. Experimentation is carried out with the MESSIDOR data set. Results are compared against various performance metrics like accuracy, sensitivity and specificity. An accuracy close to 100 percent and low average error rate of 0.012 are obtained using the proposed method.

H.264/AVC is designed and developed to meet corresponding video compression. Motion estimation and motor vector are the two important key techniques considered during video compression. The encoder complexity and process time is increased as demand increases for better quality of video service. The proposed model mainly concentrated on bit rate reduction of H.264/AVC with reduced rate distortion optimization (RDO) computation. Based on the texture information each input frame slices into 16 × 16 and 4 × 4 Macro block (MB) divisions. For each MB a gradient bit cost and RDO value is calculated for the best mode selection. If the bit cost of the MB is less than predefined level then DC mode are directly chosen for frame prediction, similarly the process is repeated for all chroma samples. This process of mode selection minimizes the RDO calculation up to 36 modes, further the complexity of encoder is reduced by using a motion search algorithms. The proposed system is implemented using MATLAB tool with Hexagonal motion search and Binary Search methods to reduce the bit rate video frames. The system performance is analysed by using a PSNR value and bit rate of the Predicted frame.","PeriodicalId":30615,"journal":{"name":"ICTACT Journal on Image and Video Processing","volume":"8 1","pages":"1764-1775"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43801911","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 monitoring and management is possible when it is possible to differentiate the objects in the satellite image. However, satellite image classification is not easy, as it consists of numerous minute details. In addition to this, the accuracy and faster execution of the classification system are significant factors. This article presents a satellite image classification system that is capable of differentiating between soil, vegetation and water bodies. To achieve the goal, we categorize the entire system into three major phases; they are satellite image preprocessing, feature extraction and classification. The initial phase attempts to denoise the satellite image by the adaptive median filter and the contrast enhancement is done by Contrast Limited Adaptive Histogram Equalization (CLAHE). As the satellite image possess many important features, this work extracts curvelet moments by applying curvelet transform. The feature vector is formed out of these curvelet moments and the ELM classifier is used to train these features. The performance of the proposed approach is observed to be satisfactory in terms of sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy.","PeriodicalId":30615,"journal":{"name":"ICTACT Journal on Image and Video Processing","volume":"8 1","pages":"1759-1763"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45706502","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}

Watermarking is a method to protect and identify the digital data while maintaining the quality of the host media, it permits various types of watermarks to be hidden in audio signal e.g. image, audio and video. This paper limits on image embedding technique using patchwork-based method. In patchwork based method average of all segments of approximate coefficients is calculated for embedding watermark into sound signal. The experimental results shows that proposed method achieves imperceptibility for audio signal as watermarked audio signal is inaudible after embedding watermark and robustness of watermark against different signal processing attacks with higher PSNR. The resulting audio is robust to attacks and exhibits good quality in term of peak signal to noise ratio. The simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed system.","PeriodicalId":30615,"journal":{"name":"ICTACT Journal on Image and Video Processing","volume":"8 1","pages":"1753-1758"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44064968","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 1DLog Gabor filter has been used to extract the real and the imaginary images from each of the Region of Interest (ROI) of FKP images. Then the TPLBP descriptor on both images has been applied to extract the feature vectors of the real image and the imaginary image respectively. These feature vectors have been jointed to form a large feature vector for each image FKP. After that, the obtained feature vectors of all images are processed directly with a dimensionality reduction algorithm, using linear discriminant analysis (LDA). Finally, the cosine Mahalanobis distance (MAH) has been used for matching stage. To evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed system several experiments have been carried out.

Meteorological images are obtained from geostationary orbits in visible, infrared, water vapor channels covering a large frame of several hundreds of kilometres of geographical extent which generally involve bidirectional scanning to cover larger extents. The acquired images have to be guaranteed for their geometric fidelity to a standard of choice among themselves by image registration. Registration of such images require to deal with low contrast, cloud and snow occlusions apart from navigation data uncertainties. Nevertheless, sub pixel accuracies are demanded for image analysis and geophysical parameters derivations. Feature based registration techniques are commonly used and intensity based techniques are also put to use in these contexts rarely. The proposed feature based approach uses a land water boundary data extraction with phase correlation of image blocks and proposed the intensity based approach tackles the same problem without any preprocessing step using a sampler-metric-transform-optimizer procedure. A comparison of these two approaches is pursued here in this article using various channel data sets of INSAT-3D satellite for sub pixel accuracies.","PeriodicalId":30615,"journal":{"name":"ICTACT Journal on Image and Video Processing","volume":"8 1","pages":"1731-1738"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46377459","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}

Ultrasound (US) is the most popular tool to detect the human organ glands and also used to diagnose the prostate cancer. Speckle noise is an inherent nature of ultrasound images, which degrades the image quality. So far, No specific filter is available to suppress the speckle noise in prostate image. In this paper, a novel despeckling method PDE with Wavelet is presented for prostate US images. The enhancement method is evaluated by using standard measures like Mean Square Error (MSE), Peak Signal Noise Ratio (PSNR) and Edge Preservation Index (EPI). Further, the despeckling approaches' is also evaluated time and space complexity. From the results, it is observed that the filtering method PDE with Wavelet is superior to PDE in terms of denoising and also preserving the information content.","PeriodicalId":30615,"journal":{"name":"ICTACT Journal on Image and Video Processing","volume":"8 1","pages":"1776-1780"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43731364","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}
