Denoising Vanilla Autoencoder for RGB and GS Images with Gaussian Noise.

Noise suppression algorithms have been used in various tasks such as computer vision, industrial inspection, and video surveillance, among others. The robust image processing systems need to be fed with images closer to a real scene; however, sometimes, due to external factors, the data that represent the image captured are altered, which is translated into a loss of information. In this way, there are required procedures to recover data information closest to the real scene.

Rician Denoising Based on Correlated Local Features LMMSE Approach.

In this study we propose a novel correction scheme that filters Magnetic Resonance Images data, by using a modified Linear Minimum Mean Square Error (LMMSE) estimator which takes into account the joint information of the local features. A closed-form analytical solution for our estimator is presented and it proves to make the filtering process far simpler and faster than other estimation techniques that rely on iterative optimization scheme and require multiple data samples. An experimental validation of our correction scheme was carried out through large scale experiments using both clinical and synthetic MR images, artificially corrupted with rician noise of σ varying from 1 to 40.

Medical Imaging Lesion Detection Based on Unified Gravitational Fuzzy Clustering.

We develop a swift, robust, and practical tool for detecting brain lesions with minimal user intervention to assist clinicians and researchers in the diagnosis process, radiosurgery planning, and assessment of the patient's response to the therapy. We propose a unified gravitational fuzzy clustering-based segmentation algorithm, which integrates the Newtonian concept of gravity into fuzzy clustering. We first perform fuzzy rule-based image enhancement on our database which is comprised of T1/T2 weighted magnetic resonance (MR) and fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) images to facilitate a smoother segmentation.
