Comparative Study of Image Denoising Using Wavelet Transforms and Optimal Threshold and Neighbouring Window

NeighShrink is an efficient image denoising algorithm based on the discrete wavelet
transform (DWT). Its disadvantage is to use a suboptimal universal threshold and identical
neighbouring window size in all wavelet subbands. Dengwen and Wengang proposed an
improved method, which can determine an optimal threshold and neighbouring window size
for every subband by the Stein’s unbiased risk estimate (SURE). Its denoising performance is
considerably superior to NeighShrink and also outperforms SURE-LET, which is an up-todate
denoising algorithm based on the SURE. In this paper different wavelet transform
families are used with this improved method, the results show that Haar wavelet has the
lowest performance among other wavelet functions. The system was implemented using
MATLAB R2010a. The average improvement in term of PSNR between Haar and other
wavelet functions is 1.37dB

Alienation in Contemporary Sculpture between the Works of Anthony Caro and Tony Cragg (A Comparative Study)
  • The subject of this research is the study of the formal alienation of contemporary English sculpture, by comparing the most important sculptors of the new contemporary generation. This research problem is to look for the important factors in the formation of the contemporary sculptural structure of the exotic, and what is the mechanism of formation and output of these forms. The research seeks to explore (Alienation in contemporary sculpture between the works of Anthony Caro and Tony Cragg) in a comparative study. The importance of the research is to identify the concept of alien forms in contemporary British sculpture, especially in the cases of Anthony Caro and Tony Cragg that this research is considered a know

The Arithmetic Coding and Hybrid Discrete Wavelet and Cosine Transform Approaches in Image Compression

Image compression is one of the data compression types applied to digital images in order to reduce their high cost for storage and/or transmission. Image compression algorithms may take the benefit of visual sensitivity and statistical properties of image data to deliver superior results in comparison with generic data compression schemes, which are used for other digital data. In the first approach, the input image is divided into blocks, each of which is 16 x 16, 32 x 32, or 64 x 64 pixels. The blocks are converted first into a string; then, encoded by using a lossless and dictionary-based algorithm known as arithmetic coding. The more occurrence of the pixels values is codded in few bits compare with pixel values of less occurre

Design and Comparative Study of a one and Two Stage Blumlein Circuit TEA Nitrogen Laser

Two Prototypes of Transversely Excited at atmospheric pressure (TEA) Nitrogen laser systems (One Stage Blumlein Circuit and Two Stage Blumlein Circuit) were fabricated and operated. High voltage power supply with variable operating voltage (0-20 kv) and operating current (1-3A) was built and tested successfully. The gas flow rate of 15 L/ min and 10 L/ min for OSBC and TSBC was used. The performance of the fabricated systems was studied extensively reaching to the optimum operating conditions. The obtained laser output energy for the first system has linear relationship with the applied voltage. The maximum output energy was about (1.14 mJ) with (10.40) ns pulse duration and the half-wave divergence angle was about (0.1455 m rad). In the

Content Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) by Statistical Methods

            An image retrieval system is a computer system for browsing, looking and recovering pictures from a huge database of advanced pictures. The objective of Content-Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) methods is essentially to extract, from large (image) databases, a specified number of images similar in visual and semantic content to a so-called query image. The researchers were developing a new mechanism to retrieval systems which is mainly based on two procedures. The first procedure relies on extract the statistical feature of both original, traditional image by using the histogram and statistical characteristics (mean, standard deviation). The second procedure relies on the T-

Abuse of power is a defect of will in English law A comparative study of Iraqi law

Undue influence is considered as a vitiating factor or defect in English law. It is a dominating influence, with which the ascending party enjoys, and which enables him to exert an illegitimate pressure on the unduly influenced weaker party, in order to induce, or force him, to conclude a contract and enter into a transaction, against his will. It is also worth-bearing in mind that the doctrine of undue influence is an equitable one, originating from the rules of equity, applied by English courts of equity, and by which these courts set aside unconscionable bargains, in which one party is in a position to exploit the weakness of the other.  It is also worth-mentioning that this doctrine has been included in the English common law.

Legal regulation for a labor inspector: A comparative study between Iraqi legislation and the Algerian and Bahraini legislation

The labor inspector may be exposed - while performing his duties that are legally assigned to him - to threats or attacks on him by employers, which makes it impossible for the inspector to perform these jobs.

This has prompted international and Arab labor inspection standards, as well as national labor laws, to emphasize the need to provide security support and legal protection for the labor inspector, and to punish employers' violators, with the aim of extending the authority and prestige of the state and ensuring the enforcement of laws and thus achieving the goals for which it was legislated.

Parts of hire contract to supply specific software: Comparative Study

The aim of this study is to know the capability of the Iraqi system law, to organize contracts of supplying software especially the contract of designing or developing software, according to the requirements of somebody. The  specific software features than typical software, where the later imported as a goods, while the incoming contract to designing or developing specific software represents employment contract, in this case leads to a complicated problems of the type of contract, the later contract may interact with sale contract and lease contract. Hire contract applies to the contract of this study, where supplier to these software is contractor and the person who designed the required software, as a result this study can be di

The responsibility of the maritime agent in Iraqi legislation: A comparative study

The study of civil liability is one of the most important issues of interest in all jurisprudential, judicial and legislative direction, because of the problems and difficulties it requires. the solution requires a focused effort that sets its source, basis, scope, and control with extreme care and accuracy to achieve the right and enable the injured party to obtain fair compensation both with scope of the contractual or tort liability.

In fact, the contract of the maritime agency is what is called the comparative jurisprudence (the contract of the ship's agency) connecting between the terminals of the maritime carrier on the on hand and the maritime agent on the other hand. It is the source of responsibility of each party to the
