Enhancement of Proton Density Weighted Magnetic Resonance Images using Singular Value Decomposition in Wavelet Domain
Abstract: Image enhancement techniques for low contrast medical images using Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) in Discrete Wavelet Transform domain (SVD-DWT) are proposed in the literature. However, shift sensitivity, poor directionality and a lack of phase information are the primary drawbacks of the discrete wavelet transform. This work introduces a novel method of image enhancement (SVD-SWT) using SVD in Stationary Wavelet Transform (SWT) to improve the contrast of Proton Density weighted Magnetic …

Extracting Alphabets and Numbers from License Plate using Mean Value
Abstract: Segmentation plays a significant role in computer vision and its related applications of image processing. Segmentation is actually a process of partitioning a digital image into multiple segments (sets of pixels) to simplify and/or change the representation of an image into more meaningful and easier to analyze. This paper presents a method of license plate extraction using segmentation method and mean value of the images. We extracted the numbers and …

A Hybrid Image Codec Using Singular Value Decomposition and Adaptively Scanned Wavelet Difference Reduction Method
Abstract: AbstractIn this paper, a hybrid image codec for the gray scale images is proposed. It practices singular value decomposition (SVD) and adaptively scanned wavelet difference reduction (ASWDR) technique for compression. The proposed hybrid method retains the advantage of high peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR) value at a level of compression. The image is first compressed by SVD, which is a well-established approach to removing interpixel redundancies for reducing some …

Fruit and Vegetable Byproducts as a Tool for value Addition to Dairy Products: A Review
Abstract: Byproduct is the product of commercial value while processing the main food product. Fruit and vegetable (F&V) processing incurs huge quantum of byproducts amongst food commodities. Such F&V byproducts represent an important source of nutrients including sugars, minerals, vitamins, phytochemicals and dietary fiber which largely remains underutilized. Dairy products are devoid of dietary fiber and have paucity of antioxidative components. Incorporation of phyto-byproducts can possibly confer functional traits to the …

Kumkuma Nasya for Migraine: Randomized Double-blind Study with an Insight into Vatavriddhi and Caloric Values
Abstract: Introduction: Ardhavbhedaka Roga of Ayurveda can be correlated with migraine. Exaggeration of Vata plays the most important role in the pathogenesis of pain. We used a model of low caloric values, as it is suitable and conclusive for the assessment of Vatavriddhi. As per Sharangadhar Samhita, Kumkuma (saffron) Nasya (nasal administration) is said to be effective in Ardhavabhedaka (migraine), owing to the exaggerated of Vata and Rakta. Aim: Therefore, this …

A novel similarity measure for interval value picture fuzzy Environment and extended TOPSIS
Abstract: Correct decision-making is the most arduous task in our daily life. The decisions are hard to make in the multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) problems due to ambiguous and unexpected information. In order to cope with such uncertainties in the data, a new decision-making approach has been developed using a newly defined similarity measure under the framework of interval-valued picture fuzzy set (IVPFS), as an extension of picture fuzzy sets (PFS). In …

Expanding Hicks Contraction Theory, Multi-Valued Mappings in Generalized b-Menger Spaces
Abstract: This paper extends the Hicks contraction theory to multi-valued mappings within generalized b-Manger spaces, a class of metric-like structures that accommodate more flexible distance functions. By introducing new definitions, such as generalized admissibility conditions and weak compatibility in the multivalued sense, we provide a comprehensive analysis of how these contractions behave in broader topological and metric contexts. Our approach systematically generalizes classical contraction principles by relaxing conventional constraints, thereby broadening …

A Novel Approach for Confidence Estimation using Support Vector Machines for More Accurate Value Prediction
Abstract: Data dependencies create hurdles in exploiting instruction-level parallelism (ILP) among instructions. To overcome them, data value predictors are used which guess instructions’ result before it is actually executed. Thus, future instructions which depend on the outcome of that instruction executes sooner. But, since value prediction accuracy is very crucial in determining the amount of parallelism that can be exploited, confidence estimation is used along with it to lessen the value …
