    A nonlocal maximum likelihood estimation method for enhancing magnetic resonance phase maps
    (Springer London, 2017) Sudeep, P.V.; Ponnusamy, P.; Kesavadas, C.; Sijbers, J.; den Dekker, A.J.; Rajan, J.
    A phase map can be obtained from the real and imaginary components of a complex valued magnetic resonance (MR) image. Many applications, such as MR phase velocity mapping and susceptibility mapping, make use of the information contained in the MR phase maps. Unfortunately, noise in the complex MR signal affects the measurement of parameters related to phase (e.g, the phase velocity). In this paper, we propose a nonlocal maximum likelihood (NLML) estimation method for enhancing phase maps. The proposed method estimates the true underlying phase map from a noisy MR phase map. Experiments on both simulated and real data sets indicate that the proposed NLML method has a better performance in terms of qualitative and quantitative evaluations when compared to state-of-the-art methods. © 2016, Springer-Verlag London.

    Non-local means image denoising using shapiro-wilk similarity measure
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2018) Yamanappa, W.; Sudeep, P.V.; Sabu, M.K.; Rajan, J.
    Most of the real-time image acquisitions produce noisy measurements of the unknown true images. Image denoising is the post-acquisition technique to improve the signal-to-noise ratio of the acquired images. Denoising is an essential pre-processing step for different image processing applications such as image segmentation, feature extraction, registration, and other quantitative measurements. Among different denoising methods proposed in the literature, the non-local means method is a preferred choice for images corrupted with an additive Gaussian noise. A conventional non-local means filter (CNLM) suppresses noise in a given image with minimum loss of structural information. In this paper, we propose modifications to the CNLM algorithm where the samples are selected statistically using Shapiro-Wilk test. The experiments on standard test images demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method. © 2013 IEEE.
