Feature Extraction Using GLCM

Filter used for Denoising:

2-D Gabor Filter:
Gabor filter, Gabor filter bank, Gabor transform and Gabor wavelet are widely
applied to image processing, computer vision and pattern recognition. This
function can provide accurate time-frequency location governed by the
Uncertainty Principle. A circular 2-D Gabor filter in the spatial domain has the
following general form:-

Where i 1 ; u is the frequency of the sinusoidal wave; controls the orientation

of the function and s is the standard deviation of the Gaussian envelope. Such
Gabor filters have been widely used in various applications. In addition to accurate
time-frequency location, they also provide robustness against varying brightness
and contrast of images.

Image denoising using wavelet transform

According to actual image characteristic, noise statistical property and frequency
spectrum distribution rule, people have developed many methods of eliminating
noises, which approximately are divided into space and transformation fields
The transformation field is management in the transformation field of images, and
the coefficients after transformation are processed. Then the aim of eliminating
noise is achieved by inverse transformation, like wavelet transform. Successful
exploitation of wavelet transform might lessen the noise effect or even overcome it
completely. There are two main types of wavelet transform- continuous and
discrete. The denoising of a natural image corrupted by Gaussian noise is a classic
problem in signal processing. The wavelet transform has become an important tool
for this problem due to its energy compaction property.

Indeed, wavelets provide a framework for signal decomposition in the form of a

sequence of signals known as approximation signals with decreasing resolution
supplemented by a sequence of additional touches called details. Denoising or
estimation of functions, involves reconstituting the signal as well as possible on the
basis of the observations of a useful signal corrupted by noise. The methods based
on wavelet representations yield very simple algorithms that are often more
powerful and easy to work with than traditional methods of function estimation . It
consists of decomposing the observed signal into wavelets and using thresholds to
select the coefficients, from which a signal is synthesized.

Image Segmentation Using Threshold Technique

The division of an image into meaningful structures, image segmentation, is often
an essential step in image analysis, object representation, visualization, and many
other image processing tasks. In chapter 8, we focused on how to analyze and
represent an object, but we assumed the group of pixels that identified that
object was known beforehand. In this chapter, we will focus on methods that find
the particular pixels that make up an object.
