Delaunay triangulation based image enhancement for echocardiography images
A novel image enhancement approach for automatic echocardiography image processing is proposed. The main steps include undecimated wavelet based speckle noise reduction, edge detection, followed by a regional enhancement process that employs Delaunay triangulation based thresholding. The edge detection is performed using a fuzzy logic based center point detection and a subsequent radial search based fuzzy multiscale edge detection. The edges obtained are used as the vertices for Delaunay triangulation for enhancement purposes. This method enhances the heart wall region in the echo image. This technique is applied to both synthetic and real image sets that were obtained from a local hospital
CASENet: Deep Category-Aware Semantic Edge Detection
Boundary and edge cues are highly beneficial in improving a wide variety of
vision tasks such as semantic segmentation, object recognition, stereo, and
object proposal generation. Recently, the problem of edge detection has been
revisited and significant progress has been made with deep learning. While
classical edge detection is a challenging binary problem in itself, the
category-aware semantic edge detection by nature is an even more challenging
multi-label problem. We model the problem such that each edge pixel can be
associated with more than one class as they appear in contours or junctions
belonging to two or more semantic classes. To this end, we propose a novel
end-to-end deep semantic edge learning architecture based on ResNet and a new
skip-layer architecture where category-wise edge activations at the top
convolution layer share and are fused with the same set of bottom layer
features. We then propose a multi-label loss function to supervise the fused
activations. We show that our proposed architecture benefits this problem with
better performance, and we outperform the current state-of-the-art semantic
edge detection methods by a large margin on standard data sets such as SBD and
Cityscapes.Comment: Accepted to CVPR 201
Gabor Filter and Rough Clustering Based Edge Detection
This paper introduces an efficient edge detection method based on Gabor
filter and rough clustering. The input image is smoothed by Gabor function, and
the concept of rough clustering is used to focus on edge detection with soft
computational approach. Hysteresis thresholding is used to get the actual
output, i.e. edges of the input image. To show the effectiveness, the proposed
technique is compared with some other edge detection methods.Comment: Proc. IEEE Conf. #30853, International Conference on Human Computer
