Determination of the kernel functions' shape and number was performed by Monte-Carlo simulation of realistic Zubal phantom and clustering analysis of functions features. Testing study of algorithms for chest images at 75 keV proves that optimal number of kernel functions is 8 that provides contrast enhancement about 3 times without using of anti-scatter grids.

A method based on discrete cosine transform (DCT) in 32×32 pixels blocks is analyzed. Characteristics of noise assumed additive (in original data or after proper variance stabilizing transform), spatially uncorrelated and Gaussian are assumed a priori known. They are taken into consideration in setting quantization step (QS) that is supposed proportional to noise standard deviation. It is demonstrated that statistics of DCT coefficients determined in 8×8 pixel blocks can be employed for prediction of peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) and improvement (or reduction) of visual quality metric PSNR-HVS-M. Approximating curves are obtained by their regression into scatter-plots using low order polynomials. Coder performance prediction can be then used for setting its parameter (QS) for providing appropriate quality of compressed image. Applicability of the proposed prediction approach is proven by experiments with real-life images.","PeriodicalId":333746,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE 37th International Conference on Electronics and Nanotechnology (ELNANO)","volume":"50 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122895430","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}
