ABSTRACT
Histogram Equalization is a contrast enhancement technique in the image processing which uses the histogram of image. However histogram equalization is not the best method for contrast enhancement because the mean brightness of the output image is significantly different from the input image. There are several extensions of histogram equalization has been proposed to overcome the brightness preservation challenge. Contrast enhancement using brightness preserving bi-histogram equalization (BBHE) and Dualistic sub image histogram equalization (DSIHE) which divides the image histogram into two parts based on the input mean and median respectively then equalizes each sub histogram independently. Histogram equalization is a well-known method for enhancing the contrast of a given image in accordance with the sample distribution. In general, histogram equalization flattens the density distribution of the resultant image and enhances the contrast of the image as a consequence. In spite of its high performance in enhancing contrasts of a given image, however, Global histogram equalization may change the original brightness of an input image, deteriorate visual quality, or, introduce some annoying artifacts.
Video Steganography deals with hiding secret data or information within a video. In this paper, a hash based least significant bit (LSB) technique has been proposed. A spatial domain technique where the secret information is embedded in the LSB of the cover frames. Eight bits of the secret information is divided into 3,3,2 and embedded into the RGB pixel values of the cover frames respectively. A hash function is used to select the position of insertion in LSB bits. The proposed method is analyzed in terms of both Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR) compared to the original cover video as well as the Mean Square Error (MSE) measured between the original and stenographic files averaged over all video frames. Image Fidelity (IF) is also measured and the results show minimal degradation of the stenographic video file. The proposed technique is compared with existing LSB based Steganography and the results are found to be encouraging. An estimate of the embedding capacity of the technique in the test video file along with an application of the proposed method has also been presented.
ABSTRACT
Palm print authentication is one of the modern bio-metric techniques, which employs the vein pattern in the human palm to verify the person. The merits of palm vein on classical bio-metric (e.g. fingerprint, iris, face) are a low risk of falsification, difficulty of duplicated and stability. In this Project, a new method is proposed for personal verification based on palm Print features. In the propose method, the palm vein images are firstly enhanced and then the features are extracted by using bank of Gabor filters. Bio-metric technology refers to a pattern recognition system which depends on physical or behavioral features for the person identification. PROJECT OUTPUT
The World Health Organization's International agency for Research on Cancer in Lyon, France, estimates that more than 150 000 women worldwide die of breast cancer each year. The breast cancer is one among the top three cancers in American women. In United States, the American Cancer Society estimates that, 215 990 new cases of breast carcinoma has been diagnosed, in 2004. It is the leading cause of death due to cancer in women under the age of 65 . In India, breast cancer accounts for 23% of all the female cancers followed by cervical cancers (17.5%) in metropolitan cities such as Mumbai, Calcutta, and Bangalore. However, cervical cancer is still number one in rural India. Although the incidence is lower in India than in the developed countries, the burden of breast cancer in India is alarming. Organ chlorines are considered a possible cause for hormone-dependent cancers . Detection of early and subtle signs of breast cancer requires high-quality images and skilled mammographic interpretation. In order to detect early onset of cancers in breast screening, it is essential to have high-quality images. Radiologists reading mammograms should be trained in the recognition of the signs of early onset of, which may be subtle and may not show typical malignant features. Mammography screening programs have shown to be effective in decreasing breast cancer mortality through the detection and treatment of early onset of breast cancers.
Emotional disturbances are known to occur in patient's suffering from malignant diseases even after treatment. This is mainly because of a fear of death, which modifies Quality Of Life (QOL). Desai et al.,reported an immuno histo chemical analysis of steroid receptor status in 798 cases of breast tumors encountered in Indian patients, suggests that breast cancer seen in the Indian population may be biologically different from that encountered in western practice. Most imaging studies and biopsies of the breast are conducted using mammography or ultrasound, in some cases, magnetic resonance (MR) imaging . Although by now some progress has been achieved, there are still remaining challenges and directions for future research such as developing better enhancement and segmentation algorithms.
The main goal of region of interest (ROI) based Image compression is to enhance the compression efficiency for transmission and storage.Thus, the ROI area is compressed with lossles compression scheme and the background with the lossy compression scheme
Algorithm Steps
Initialize the parameters of an image and load the original image to be compressed.
Select ROI
Create Mask
Seperate BG in another image.
Encoding of ROI region is performed selectively with JPEG with lossless scheme
Encoding of BG region is performed selectively with JPEG with Lossy Scheme
Merge the ROI and BG.
After reconstruction, the image is correlated with original image.
Evaluate the result using parameters like PSNR and MSE.
ABSTRACT
Driver fatigue is a significant factor in a large number of vehicle accidents. The development of technologies for detecting or preventing drowsiness has been done thru several methods, some research used EEG for drowsy detection ,and some used eyeblink sensors,this project uses web camera for Drowsy detection.Webcamera is connected to the pc and images were acquired and processed by matlab. The aim of this project is to develop a prototype drowsiness detection system. The focus will be placed on designing a system that will accurately monitor the eye movements of a driver in real-time. By monitoring the eye movements, it is believed that the symptoms of driver fatigue can be detected early enough to avoid a car accident. How It Works
ABSTRACT
Background subtraction (BGS) is a commonly used technique for achieving this segmentation. Background subtraction is a widely used approach to detect moving objects from static and dynamic cameras. Many different methods have been proposed over the recent years and there are a number of object extraction algorithms proposed in this survey it has most efficiently constrained environments where the background is relatively easy and static. In this paper, we analysis most popular, state-of- the-art BGS algorithms and propose a neuro fuzzy model for determining thresholds, we examine how threshold algorithm poor their performance. Our method shows that threshold plays a major role in obtaining the foreground segmentation masks produced by a BGS algorithm and our experimental results demonstrate that neuro fuzzy system is much more accuracy and robust than existing system approaches.
