Shearlet-domain task-driven post-processing and filtering of CT noise

While many existing CT noise filtering post-processing techniques optimize minimum mean squared error (MSE)-based quality metrics, it is well-known that the MSE is generally not related to the diagnostic quality of CT images. In medical image quality …

No-reference blur estimation based on the average cone ratio in the wavelet domain

We propose a wavelet based metric of blurriness in the digital images named CogACR – Center of gravity of the Average Cone Ratio. The metric is highly robust to noise and able to distinguish between a great range of blurriness. To automate the CogACR …

No-reference blur estimation based on the average cone ratio in the wavelet domain

With extensive technological advancements in electronic imaging today, high image quality is becoming an imperative necessity in the modern imaging systems. An important part of quality assurance are techniques for measuring the level of image …

Real-time wavelet based blur estimation on cell BE platform

We propose a real-time system for blur estimation using wavelet decomposition. The system is based on an emerging multi-core microprocessor architecture (Cell Broadband Engine, Cell BE) known to outperform any available general purpose or DSP …

Image blur estimation based on the average cone of ratio in the wavelet domain

In this paper, we propose a new algorithm for objective blur estimation using wavelet decomposition. The central idea of our method is to estimate blur as a function of the center of gravity of the average cone ratio (ACR) histogram. The key …
