Many common eye diseases and cardiovascular can be diagnosed through retinal imaging. However, due to uneven illumination, image blurring, low contrast, images with poor quality are not useful for diagnosis, especially in automated analyzing systems. Here, we propose a new enhancement method improve color luminosity contrast.A luminance gain matrix, which is obtained by gamma correction of the value channel HSV (hue, saturation, value) space, used enhance R, G, B (red, green blue) channels,...
Telemedicine and the medical "big data" era in ophthalmology highlight use of non-mydriatic ocular fundus photography, which has given rise to indispensable applications portable cameras. However, case image quality is more vulnerable distortions, such as uneven illumination, color distortion, blur, low contrast. Such distortions are called generic distortions. This paper proposes an algorithm capable selecting images fair that would be especially useful assist inexperienced individuals...
PBAT, i.e., poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate), has its drawbacks of slower crystallization rate, lower crystallinity degree, and modulus elasticity features. In this study, OMCC/PBAT complexes were obtained by blending modifications microcrystalline cellulose with octadecylamine (OMCC) PBAT in a melt. OMCC significantly enhances the degree as nucleating agent. The kinetics nonisothermal for composites investigated, activation energy was calculated. It showed that speeds up rate cuts...

Abstract Poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (PBAT) is a synthetic biodegradable thermoplastic copolyester. In this study, we aimed to enhance lignin’s compatibility with PBAT for polymerization. Epoxidized soybean oil (ESO) was introduced as an interfacial modifier improve lignin-PBAT interactions. A lignin/ESO/PBAT composite film fabricated via solvent-free one-pot method using torque rheometry. ESO formed dynamic covalent bonds between lignin and PBAT, promoting dispersion. When 5 wt%...

A no-reference objective metric for image quality assessment by integrating the topographic independent components analysis into feature extraction is presented. By taking relationship among initially features consideration, it extracts of more sparsity or independency which essentially related to inherent quality. Evaluation results demonstrate that proposed able predict accurately across various distortion types.

Simulation testing results demonstrate that the proposed method not only outperforms other methods terms of high accuracy prediction, but also consistent with subjective evaluations.
Retinal imaging is an important and effective tool for detecting retinal diseases. However, degraded images caused by the aberrations of eye can disguise lesions, so that a diseased be mistakenly diagnosed as normal. In this work, we propose new image enhancement method to improve quality images.A used enhance degraded-quality fundus images. method, converted from input RGB colour space LAB then each normalized component enhanced using contrast-limited adaptive histogram equalization.
