Speckle spot detection in ultrasound images: Application to speckle reduction and speckle tracking [PDF]
This paper investigates the speckle spot detection task in ultrasound images. Speckle spots are described by structural criteria: dimensions, shape, and topology. We propose to represent the image using a morphological inclusion tree, from which speckle spots are detected using their structural appearance. This makes the method independent of contrast,

Mid-infrared speckle reduction technique for hyperspectral imaging
International audienceRecently, we proposed an active mid-infrared (MIR) hyperspectral imaging system for early detection of plant water stress. A quantum cascade tunable laser powered this stand-off detection system, in which "speckle" in ...

Dynamic Speckle Illumination Digital Holographic Microscopy by Doubly Scattered System
The coherent noise always exists in digital holographic microscopy due to the laser source, degrading the image quality. A method of speckle suppression using the dynamic speckle illumination, produced by double-moving diffusers, is presented in digital ...

Gut microbiome and aging—A dynamic interplay of microbes, metabolites, and the immune system
Age‐dependent shifts in microbial communities engender shifts in microbial metabolite profiles. These in turn drive shifts in barrier surface permeability of the gut and brain and induce immune activation. When paired with preexisting age‐related chronic inflammation this increases the risk of neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.

A Study of Speckle Noise Reduction Filters
Ultrasound images and SAR i.e. synthetic aperture radar images are usually corrupted because of speckle noise also called as granular noise. It is quite a tedious task to remove such noise and analyze those corrupted images. Till now many researchers worked to remove speckle noise using frequency domain methods, temporal methods, and adaptive methods ...

Spatio-temporal Speckle Reduction in Ultrasound Sequences [PDF]
In this paper we will be concerned with speckle removal in ultrasound images. To this end, we introduce a new spatio-temporal de-noising method based on a variational formulation. The regularization relies on a non parametric image model that describes the observed image structure and express inter-dependencies between pixels in space and time ...
