Shi Et al [13] used a local projection profile at each pixel of the image, and transform the original image into an adaptive local connectivity map (ALCM). For this process, first the gray scale image is reversed so the foreground pixels (text) have idensity values of up to 255. Then the image is downsample to ¼ of each size, ½ in each direction. Next a sliding window of size 2c scans the image from left to right, and right to left in order to compute the cumulative idensity of every neighborhood. This technique is identical to computing the projection profile of every sliding window, (i.e. counting the foreground pixels), but instead of outpiting a projection profile histogram, the entire sliding window sum is saved on the ALCM image.

Present day GPUs are equipped for performing vector operations and gliding point number-crunching, with the most recent cards fit for controlling twofold exactness drifting point numbers. Systems, for example, CUDA and Open GL empower projects to be composed for GPUs, and the way of GPUs make them most suited to very parallelizable operations, for example, in logical figuring, where a progression of specific GPU process cards can be a practical substitution for a little register group as in NVIDIA Tesla Personal

The segmentation and classification of Neonatal brain structure from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is indispensable for the study of growth patterns and morphological changes in neurodevelopmental disorders. The Segmentation and Classification of Neonatal MRI is a challenging task mainly due to the low intensity contrast and the growth process of the brain tissues. A new method for Neonatal Brain image segmentation and classification is developed in this paper. Here the Segmentation method is based on the Minimum spanning tree Segmentation (MST) with Manhattan distance and brier score coupled shrunken centroid classifier for classification of neonatal brain tissues. MST simplifies Neonatal Brain image analysis tasks such as counting objects
Segmentation of brain tumor is done to separate tumor from non tumor tissue. It is one of the most crucial step in medical image processing. We have used modified Radial basis function to segment the tumor. It proves to be best option then existing algorithms.
Tumor segmentation from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data is an important but time consuming manual task performed by medical experts. Automating this process is a challenging task because of the high diversity in the appearance of tumor tissues among different patients and in many cases similarity with the normal tissues. MRI is an advanced medical imaging technique providing rich information about the human soft-tissue anatomy.. In this paper, we have proposed an automatic tumor detection framework to detect the multiple tumors in brain tumor databases. This system has four main phases, namely image preprocessing for image enhancement, Fuzzy C-Means segmentation algorithm is used for tumor segmentation, Apply thresholding on segmented
Abstract—Image captured by two-dimensional camera contains no depth information. However depth information is needed in many applications, for example in robotic vision, satellite imaging and target tracking. To extract depth information from images Stereo matching is used. The main aim of our project is to use stereo matching algorithms to plot the disparity map of segmented images which gives the depth information details. Particle Swarm Optimization and K-means algorithms are used for image segmentation. Our main objective is to implement stereo matching algorithms on the segmented images, compare the results of K-means and PSO on the basis of objective parameters such as PSNR, execution time, density of disparity map and compression ratio and perform subjective analysis of reconstructed 3-D images. The compared results show that the Particle Swarm Optimization algorithm gives better 3-D reconstructed image.
T.F.Chen [9] segmentation is the process of portioning the images, where we need to find the particular portion, there are several methods segmentation such as active contour, etc. segmentation can be done both manually and automatically. Here the new technique of segmentation known as level sets segmentation are described, the level set segmentation reduces the problems of finding the curves which is enclose with respect to the region of interest. The implementation of this involves the normal speed and vector field, entropy condition etc. The implementation results produced was two different curves, which can be splitted.
Besides the tumour heterogeneity, the boundaries of the tumour may be composite and visually unclear to detect at the earlier stages. Some tumour may collapse the adjacent structures in the brain. Furthermore, artefacts and noise in the brain tumour images complicates the obscurity in tumour detection. Hence developing an efficient and automatic image segmentation approach is necessary to provide a better tumour detection performance especially in MRI brain
Mohammed El-Helly et al. [8] proposed an approach for integrating image analysis technique into diagnostic expert system. A diagnostic model was used to manage cucumber crop. According to this approach, an expert system finds out the diseases of user observation. In order to diagnose a disorder from a leaf image, five image processing phases are used: image acquisition, enhancement, and segmentation, feature extraction and classification. Images were captured using a high resolution color camera and auto focus illumination light. Firstly they transformed the defected RGB image to the HSI color space then analyzed the histogram intensity channel then increased the contrast of the image. Fuzzy C Means (FCM) segmentation is used in this
CUDA is a programming model created by NVIDIA gives the developer access to GPU computing resources following through an Application Programming Interface (API) the standard CUDA terminology. We will see GPU as the device and CPU as the host programming language extends to C / C ++ Language. GPU programming is different from model normal CPU
It is not uncommon that algorithms are bandwidth bound. Setting theoretical limit on maximum performance which can be obtained from a GPU implementation important first step, which is also useful for identifying performance after a real implementation. Implementation the COLE algorithm on the GPU is memory-intensive due to the potential large number of point scatterers. A large number of point scatterers mean that a large amount the process of memory needs to be processed, that is, memory bandwidth can be a limiting factor.
This paper is based on CUDA, a parallel computing platform model, which utilizes the resources of the Graphical Processing Unit (GPU), increasing the computing performance of our system, hence creating a robust parallel computing unit. In this paper, we will be introducing a brief history on CUDA, it’s execution flow and it’s architecture to handle processor intensive tasks. We will also be highlighting some of it’s real life applications and the difference in performance as compared of the only CPU based architectures. Also, since most of the CUDA applications are written in C/C++, we will also be exploring how CUDA provides the programmable interface in such languages as well. Finally, we will be including the current research activities
Image segmentation attempts to separate an image into its object classes. Clustering methods, edge based methods, histogram-based methods, and region growing methods offer different advantages and disadvantages. The use of a Gaussian mixture expectation maximization (EM) method has been investigated to realize segmentation specifically for x-ray luggage scans [131]. Namely, k Gaussian distributions are added to best fit the image histogram, with each Gaussian distribution corresponding to its own object class. In an x-ray image, high density objects absorb more x-ray photons and appear more intensely than low density objects. In a typical x-ray luggage scan image, there will generally be a mix of low density, medium density, and high density objects. Because of this characteristic, an image segmentation algorithm which requires knowledge of the number of partitions in the segmentation, such as in EM segmentation, is still a viable and perhaps even favorable method. By segmenting an x-ray image
Preprocessing method involves series of operation to enhance and make it suitable for segmentation. Main function of preprocessing is removal of noise that is generated during image generation. Filters like min-max filter, Mean filter, Gaussian filter etc. may be used to remove noise. Binarization process is used to convert grayscale image into black and white image. To enhance the visibility and structural information Binary morphological operation is used. This involves opening, closing, thinning, hole filling etc. The captured image may not be perfectly aligned so, slant angle correction is performed. Input image may be resized according to the need of
