Abstract:Image de-noising is an important tool in computer vision and image processing applications. The conventional wavelet image de-noising methods not only does the smoothing but also suppresses the desired edges, corners and other sharp structures in an image. This degradation of edge features can be overcome by directional, shift invariant dual tree wavelet transform. In this paper, dual tree complex wavelet transform is used to decompose the noisy image and locally adaptive patch based thresholding have been implemented to denoise the bench mark images which were suffered with white Gaussian noise. The proposed work implemented using MATLAB R2014a.

Abstract: Images are captured to get useful information or details or keep in record. Due to the problems in the capturing process, the recorded image may be a degraded version of the original one. Blur is a phenomenon caused by camera or object movement, improper focusing, or the use of an aperture. Motion blur can be uniform or non-uniform. Identification of motion blur is a difficult task. Different techniques are available to reconstruct images degraded by motion blur............

Abstract: In this paper, a simple method and structures are used to design a novel band pass filter using dual feed line and microstrip open loop resonator structure. In this structure, transmission zeros can be created to improve the band selectivity and stopband performance. In analysis, the two open-loop resonators are treated as pass band resonator and stopband resonator. With zero-phase feed structure added, the frequency selectivity is improved with better insertion loss and wide stopband regions.........

Abstract: AConventional edge triggeredmaster-slave flip-flopis very sensitive to particle that causes anerror. Master latch upsets the logic state with an error, when the clock signal is high whereas the slave latch upsets the logic state when the clock signal is low,resulting in an erroneous output of the flip-flop. Here in this paper a new flip flop is presented which can overcome orcontrol any type of error. Here the terms error,single event upset(SEU) and soft errors represent the same meaning........

Abstract: Yarn hairiness is one of the key parameters influencing the quality of yarn.It is observed that yarn quality has been deduced based on yarn length and diameter only. But these parameters do not provide much information about yarn quality. Thus it is proposed to derive more yarn quality parameters like yarn hairiness, uniformity of yarn and its thickness. In textile industry, image processing is use to determine yarn parameters as well as yarn production characteristics. The main steps of the proposed algorithm are as follows: Image acquisition, Image thresholding, Segmentation, Image analysis
