Despeckle Filtering Algorithms and Software for Ultrasound Imaging

Despeckle Filtering Algorithms and Software for Ultrasound Imaging

Despeckle Filtering Algorithms and Software for Ultrasound Imaging

Product Description
It is well-known that speckle is a multiplicative noise that degrades image quality and the visual evaluation in ultrasound imaging. This necessitates the need for robust despeckling techniques for both routine clinical practice and teleconsultation. The goal for this book is to introduce the theoretical background (equations), the algorithmic steps, and the MATLAB™ code for the following group of despeckle filters: linear filtering, nonlinear filtering, anisotropic diffusion filtering and wavelet filtering. The book proposes a comparative evaluation framework of these despeckle filters based on texture analysis, image quality evaluation metrics, and visual evaluation by medical experts, in the assessment of cardiovascular ultrasound images recorded from the carotid artery. The results of our work presented in this book, suggest that the linear local statistics filter DsFlsmv, gave the best performance, followed by the nonlinear geometric filter DsFgf4d, and the linear homogeneous mask area filter DsFlsminsc. These filters improved the class separation between the asymptomatic and the symptomatic classes (of ultrasound images recorded from the carotid artery for the assessment of stroke) based on the statistics of the extracted texture features, gave only a marginal improvement in the classification success rate, and improved the visual assessment carried out by two medical experts. A despeckle filtering analysis and evaluation framework is proposed for selecting the most appropriate filter or filters for the images under investigation. These filters can be further developed and evaluated at a larger scale and in clinical practice in the automated image and video segmentation, texture analysis, and classification not only for medical ultrasound but for other modalities as well, such as synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images.

Editorial Reviews

- Read the book, took the online course and test, PASSED.

- This ITIL exam prep book and course are an invaluable study aid for passing the ITIL Foundation exam. Highly recommended.

- I’ve been an IS project manager for over 10 years. I’ve studied ITIL materials in preparation, but took no courses or workshops. I studied this book and its accompanying course for 10 days immediately preceding my exam. Read the book about 3 times.

- I took the ITIL Foundation exam and got 98% of the questions correct. I think that the study tips in the book and course helped me get about 15-20 questions right that I might have otherwise missed. (your mileage may vary).

- The book and course made me confident in sitting the exam, and is the best such book that I’ve come across.

- Worth it especially since you have access to the online learning component as well.

- Good focus on ITIL’s processes (things important to ITIL Foundation and passing the test that your experience in IT may not help you)

- Highly recommended, I passed in one go!

Portlets and Apache Portals

Portlets and Apache Portals

Portals are Web sites that serve as a starting point to information and applications on the Internet or from an intranet. To accommodate the aggregation and display of diverse content in a dynamic manner, a portal server must provide a framework that breaks the different portal components into pluggable parts. One class
of these parts are portlets.
This book explains how you can develop Java and Web Services for Remote Portlet compliant portlets and how to test and deploy these portlets on Apache open source software. The book is split into three main parts: the first part introduces the portlet technology; the second part explains portals and the Apache open
source software available for portlet development. The third part gives more portlet examples and shows how to set-up a complete portal.
