A novel technique for despeckling the medical ultrasound images using lossy compression is presented. The logarithm of the input image is first transformed to the multiscale wavelet domain. It is then shown that the subband coefficients of the log transformed ultrasound image can be successfully modeled using the generalized Laplacian distribution. Based on this modeling, a simple adaptation of the zero-zone and reconstruction levels of the uniform threshold quantizer is proposed in order to achieve simultaneous despeckling and quantization. This adaptation is based on: 1) an estimate of the corrupting speckle noise level in the image; 2) the estimated statistics of the noise-free subband coefficients; and 3) the required compression rate. Context-based classification is also applied to the noisy coefficients to enhance the performance of the subband coder. The improvement that can be done in the existing is also discussed.
STEP I : Perform the homomorphic operation by taking the logarithm of the image.
STEP II : Decompose the corrupted image into detail levels using DWT which yields detail subband and an approximation subband.
STEP III : Estimate the threshold level for the noise corrupted detail subband coefficients using BayesShrink.
STEP IV:Perform the classification of the subband data into number of classes
STEP V : Quantize each class using the data and rate adaptive quantizer The approximation subband is quantized using a uniform quantizer.
STEP VI : Use an adaptive arithmetic coder to generate the encoded bit stream.

Coal Mining Industry
By: Brayan Peter | 08/07/2009The coal mining industry segment produces coal, a fossil fuel that is used primarily for electric power generation and in the production of steel. Like oil, coal is formed over millions of years from plant and animal matter, but unlike oil, coal is a solid, and therefore miners must go into the earth to recover it.

How many industry sectors rely on adhesives? … The short answer is “Almost all of them.”
By: Rebecca Wilmot | 08/07/2009You probably could have guessed that on your own, but what’s more interesting is how each industry uses adhesives. The following lists some of the less visible applications in use all around us. Ground transportation - In the rail and vehicle industries, adhesives are used to bond multiple parts of the electric motors that power mirrors, windows, brake systems and the like.

Does caning help in your kids learning to be more disciplined?
By: Ms.umasairam | 07/07/2009Caning kids as a method to discipline them is still widely prevalent in many parts of Asia. Many times parents and teachers resort to caning, to straighten up unruly kids who will not modify their behaviour with any other softer approaches. But does this approach really help? or does it reinforce the thought that violent action is required to get what you want?
