This work comes up with an improvement in an image compression method using the discrete wavelet transform (DWT) and neural networks. To improve this technique, we have added a new phase based on the Human Visual System (HVS) and the Weber-Fechner law to dynamically quantify the image signal. Such a new phase can improve the quality of compression by dynamically quantifying each pixel value of the original image compared to the values of the neighbour pixels according to a luminance detection threshold. This threshold is known as Weber constant.","PeriodicalId":56359,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Signal and Imaging Systems Engineering","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2019-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44168852","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}

Nuclear pleomorphism is one such trait, which serves as an important shape-based biomarker. An effective segmentation of the nuclei objects leads to an accurate diagnosis by an expert pathologist, which otherwise would be erroneous due to inter and intra-observer variability. In this research, a novel approach for segmenting the nuclei objects, using distance regularised level sets (DRLS), has been presented. It is shown that the shape prior based morphological transformation of the image achieves: a) centroid detection for accurate contour initialisation; b) gradient computation for an effective contour evolution. Experiments have been conducted on benign and malignant tissue images followed by a performance study using the object detection and the overlap resolution accuracy. Segmentation accuracy is assessed in comparison with the geodesic active contours, based on the ground truth.","PeriodicalId":56359,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Signal and Imaging Systems Engineering","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2019-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45946885","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}

Retinal fundus images play an important role in diabetic retinopathy through disease diagnosis, disease recognition (i.e., by ophthalmologists), and treatment. The current state-of-the-art techniques are not satisfied with sensitivity and specificity. In fact, there are still other issues to be resolved in state-of-the-art techniques such as performances, accuracy, and easily identify the DR disease effectively. Therefore, this paper proposes an effective image processing method for detection of diabetic retinopathy diseases from retinal fundus images that will satisfy the performance metrics (i.e., sensitivity, specificity, accuracy). The proposed automatic screening system for diabetic retinopathy was conducted in several steps: Pre-processing, optic disc detection and removal, blood vessel segmentation and removal, elimination of fovea, feature extraction (i.e., Micro-aneurysm, retinal hemorrhage, and exudates), feature selection and classification. Finally, a software-based simulation using MATLAB was performed using DIARETDB1 dataset and the obtained results are validated by comparing with expert ophthalmologists. The results of the conducted experiments showed an efficient and effective in sensitivity, specificity and accuracy.","PeriodicalId":56359,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Signal and Imaging Systems Engineering","volume":"11 1","pages":"206"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2018-08-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43183322","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}
