Abstract: | Advances in the computational science joined medical imaging domain to help humanity. It offers great support in clinical practices where automatic Computer Added Systems (CAD) help in identification and localization of abnormal tissues. In recent decades, a lot of research tuned non-invasive techniques have been devised to serve mankind. One of them is Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) which provides structural information at higher resolution even in presence of bone structures in the body. Although it is free from ionizing ingredient, factors like electronic circuitry, patient movement etc. provoke some artifacts in imaging system considered as noise. One needs to get rid of these artifacts by means of software processing to enhance the performance of diagnostic process. This thesis is also an attempt to deal with noisy part of MRI and comply with preserving image structures such as boundary details and preventing over-smoothing. It has been observed that, in case of MR data, noise follows Rician distribution. As opposed to additive Gaussian noise, Rician noise is signal dependent in nature due to MR image acquisition process. newlineThe thesis constitutes a relationship between MRI denoising and uncertainty model defined by Rough Set Theory (RST). RST already has shown some promising outcomes in image processing problems including segmentation, clustering whereas not much attention has been paid in image restoration task. The first part of the thesis proposes a novel method for object based segmentation and edge derivation given the noisy MR image. The edges are closed and continuous in nature and segmentation accuracy turns out to be better than well-known methods. The prior information is used as cues in various image denoising frameworks. newlineIn Bilateral filter framework along with spatial and intensity cues, a new weighing factor is derived using prior segmentation and edge information. This further extends to non local framework where waiver in spatial relation conceded to access similar information from far of nei |
