Modified transform-based gamma correction for MRI tumor image denoising and segmentation by optimized histon-based elephant herding algorithm

Medical image processing is typically performed to diagnose a patient's brain tumor prior to surgery. In this study, a technique in denoising and segmentation was developed to improve medical image processing. The proposed approach employs multiple modules. In the first module, the noisy brain tumor image is transformed into multiple low- and high-pass tetrolet coefficients. In the second module, multiple low-pass tetrolet coefficients are applied through a modified transform-based gamma correction method. Generalized cross-validation is used on multiple high-pass tetrolet coefficients to obtain the best threshold value. In the third module, all enhanced coefficients are applied to the partial differential equation method. In the final module, the denoised image is applied to Atanassov's intuitionistic fuzzy set histon-based fuzzy clustering method with centroid optimization using an elephant herding method. Accordingly, the tumor part is segmented from the nontumor part in the magnetic resonance imaging brain images. The method was assessed in terms of peak signal-to-noise ratio, mean square error, specificity, sensitivity, and accuracy. The experimental results showed that the suggested method is superior to traditional methods.

Effects of off-focal radiation on dimensional measurements in industrial cone-beam micro-focus X-ray computed tomography systems

A study of the secondary source phenomenon due to the presence of off-focal radiation in industrial micro-focus cone-beam X-ray computed tomography (XCT) systems and its influence on dimensional measurements is presented. Although off-focal radiation production within X-ray tubes has been studied for medical X-ray imaging systems, its properties and its effects on dimensional measurements in industrial XCT systems have not been discussed prior to this research. The study comprises: evaluation of the geometrical properties of off-focal radiation through a theoretical and experimental study of two-dimensional projection images of the scanned objects, verification of these properties using computer simulations and evaluation of the impact of the secondary source on dimensional measurements using experimental and simulation approaches. In addition, ways to minimise the effects of off-focal radiation are discussed, and reference samples for characterising the properties of off-focal radiation are proposed.

基于光刀图像的机器人示教纠偏方法

为了解决机器人辅助在线检测系统示教过程中效率低、人为干预多的问题,针对孔类特征,提出一种通过处理光刀图像获取机器人位姿纠正参数的方法。在该方法中,纠偏过程按照将图像光刀线调整为水平方向、将被测特征调整至图像中央、根据不同特征调整最优扫描方向3个步骤进行。根据光刀图像可以求出测量坐标系与被测特征的位姿关系,并得到该位姿与理想测量位姿的偏差。经过坐标变换即可得到在机器人基坐标系下的调整参数。另外,可利用电脑控制机器人运动,从而实现了纠偏过程的自动化。实验结果表明,该方法可将初始的示教位姿修正为理想位姿,且比传统方式效率更高。     

Effects of nonlinear thermal radiation over magnetized stagnation point flow of Williamson fluid in porous media driven by stretching sheet

In this study, the stagnation point flow of a magnetized Williamson fluid past a stretching sheet in the presence of nonlinear thermal radiation and buoyancy effect is studied. The present situation is remodeled using similarity transformation that transforms the flow model of partial differential equations into the set of nonlinear ordinary differential equations. The fourth-order Runge-Kutta scheme and shooting method are employed to solve these reduced equations. The effects of various associated parameters over the velocity and temperature profiles are plotted and the outcome of each associated parameter is discussed through graphs. The key findings are noted as follows: the velocity profile declines with an increase in the magnetic force number, and an increment in buoyancy parameter leads to the increase in the boundary layer thickness and decrease in the thickness of the thermal boundary layer.
