A Survey on Various Image De-noising Methods
Abstract: Image de-noising is a classical yet fundamental problem in low level vision, as well as an ideal test bed to evaluate various statistical image modeling methods. The restoration of a blurry or noisy image is commonly performed with a maximum a posteriori probability (MAP) estimator, which maximizes a posterior probability to reconstruct a clean image from a degraded image. A MAP estimator, when used with a sparse gradient image prior, …

A Study to Assess the Stress and Anger Management by Deep Breathing Exercise and Meditation Among Adolescent Nursing Students at a Selected Nursing School in Delhi
Abstract: Introduction: Stress is a response that can lead to physical, emotional, or psychological strain. It is a frequent occurrence in daily life. Stress acts as the body's natural mechanism for defense against potential threats and dangers. It initiates a release of hormones that ready the body's functions to either confront danger head-on or retreat, commonly known as the fight-or-flight reaction. Anger can be caused by both external and internal events …

A Novel Feature Level Fusion Method for Classification of Remote Sensing Images
Abstract: Feature level fusion approach is utilized in this paper to classify remote sensing images. Texture features are extracted from panchromatic images using mixed Gabor filter (GB), fast gray level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM) and linear binary pattern (LBP). The resultant texture features are classified using nearest neighbor (k-NN) classification method. Spectral features are extracted from the MS image and segmented using over segmented k-means algorithm with novel initialization (OSKNI). Finally the …
