Unfortunately, it comes with the inherent speckle noise which results in the degradation of the texture information in these images, thus making the diagnosis harder. This paper proposes a new approach for despeckling the ultrasound images combining the multiscale anisotropic diffusion model with the non-subsampled shearlet transform (NSST). The method involves the decomposition of images using the Non-Subsampled Laplacian pyramid, resulting in a low and high frequency sub images. Modified anisotropic diffusion method is further applied to the coarser component, whereas, the finer component is subjected to shearlet function, resulting in noisy coefficients, which are further subjected to thresholding. This multidimensional and multidirectional method enhances the visual characteristics of the ultrasound images with not just the removal of speckle noise, but also with the preservation of more edges, thus enhancing the images effectively. The performance of the proposed algorithm is assessed for real ultrasound images. Results show that the method excels over the earlier proposed techniques in terms of preservation of edges and structural similarities. Moreover, when analysed qualitatively, it is observed that there is a substantial removal of speckle noise, thus making the diagnosis easier for the radiologists.

They have a wide range of applications expanding from outlier objects/ situation detection to the detection of life-threatening events. For more than 1.5 decades, this field has attracted a lot of research attention, and as a result, more and more datasets dedicated to anomalous actions and object detection have been developed. Tapping these public anomaly datasets enable researchers to generate and compare various anomaly detection frameworks with the same input data. This paper presents a comprehensive survey on a variety of video, audio, as well as audiovisual datasets based on the application of anomaly detection. This survey aims to address the lack of a comprehensive comparison and analysis of multimedia public datasets based on anomaly detection. Also, it can assist researchers in selecting the best available dataset for benchmarking frameworks. Additionally, we discuss gaps in the existing dataset and insights for future direction towards developing multimodal anomaly detection datasets.

Unfortunately, a specialist has to spend a lot of time to examine the picture. Segmentation is one of the processes to identify eye problems and decrease the specialist time. This paper proposes the performance comparison of vessel segmentation methodologies. Firstly, the fundus image is taken from the openly accessible datahise and pre-processing is done to adjust the contrast of input image so that the vessels are segmented Segmentation is the second step of algorithm that segments the image and post processing is done to enhance the segmented binary image. The methods are involved with ISODATA, adaptive thresholding and vessel location map. The results declare that the method dominates over the prior proposed strategies like segmentation of vessels and recovering edges. Additionally, the evaluated algorithms achieving 94% accuracy of extracting normal fundus vessels.

Hence, a novel image retrieval technique using Mean Distance Local Binary Pattern (Mean Distance LBP) has been proposed for content-based image retrieval. The conventional local binary pattern (LBP) converts every pixel of image into a binary pattern based on their relationship with neighbourhood pixels. The proposed feature descriptor differs from local binary pattern as it transforms the mutual relationship of all neighbouring pixels in a binary pattern based on their standard deviation templates as well as Euclidean distance from the center pixel. Color feature and Gray Level Co-occurrence Matrix have also been used in this work. To prove the excellence of the proposed method, experiments have been conducted on two different databases of natural images and face images. Further, the method is applied on real time ultrasound database for retrieval of liver images from a set of ultrasound images of various organs. The performance has been observed using well-known evaluation measures, precision and recall, and compared with some state-of-art local patterns. Comparison shows a significant improvement in the proposed method over existing methods.

Unfortunately, it is accompanied by speckle which can degrade texture information by obscuring fine details like boundaries and edges. This work presents a method for despeckling ultrasound images by treating them with multiscale modified speckle reduction anisotropic diffusion model and Non-Subsampled shearlet transform (NSST). The method involves division of images using a non-subsampled Laplacian pyramid. This results in low and high frequency image components. Modified anisotropic diffusion is used on the low frequency part. The high frequency component, as subjected to shearlet function, generates noisy coefficients in various directions. These coefficients are further subjected to NSST thresholding. The denoised low and high frequency image components are then recombined to obtain the enhanced image. This multidimensional and multidirectional method improves the qualitative characteristic...

However, ultrasound images are usually manifested with speckle noise, that acts as a hindrance in carrying out any further analysis or disease detection by the radiologists. Despeckling of these images is thus a very important phenomenon to carry out further studies by medical experts. It is of utmost importance that ultrasound images be despeckled, keeping in consideration that no information is lost from the images. This paper covers various despeckling techniques that have been designed for ultrasound images, making sure that no information is lost.

Emotion analysis using EEG signals is one such problem that has been studied and worked upon extensively in recent times. In this paper we have proposed a novel methodology to classify emotions using signal processing techniques such as wavelet transform and statistical measures for feature extraction and dimensionality reduction followed by developing state of the art neural architecture for the classification task. A merged LSTM model has been proposed for binary classification of emotions. The model's applicability and accuracy has been validated using DEAP dataset which is the benchmark dataset for emotion recognition.
