Filtration Method

This article presents a new method of image filtering based on a new kind of image processing transformation, particularly the wavelet-Ateb–Gabor transformation, that is a wider basis for Gabor functions. Ateb functions are symmetric functions. The developed type of filtering makes it possible to perform image transformation and to obtain better biometric image recognition results than traditional filters allow. These results are possible due to the construction of various forms and sizes of the curves of the developed functions. Further, the wavelet transformation of Gabor filtering is investigated, and the time spent by the system on the operation is substantiated. The filtration is based on the images taken from NIST Special Database 302, that is publicly available. The reliability of the proposed method of wavelet-Ateb–Gabor filtering is proved by calculating and comparing the values of peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) and mean square error (MSE) between two biometric images, one of which is filtered by the developed filtration method, and the other by the Gabor filter. The time characteristics of this filtering process are studied as well.

AbstractThe development of deep learning and open access to a substantial collection of imaging data together provide a potential solution for computational image transformation, which is gradually changing the landscape of optical imaging and biomedical research. However, current implementations of deep learning usually operate in a supervised manner, and their reliance on laborious and error-prone data annotation procedures remains a barrier to more general applicability. Here, we propose an unsupervised image transformation to facilitate the utilization of deep learning for optical microscopy, even in some cases in which supervised models cannot be applied. Through the introduction of a saliency constraint, the unsupervised model, named Unsupervised content-preserving Transformation for Optical Microscopy (UTOM), can learn the mapping between two image domains without requiring paired training data while avoiding distortions of the image content. UTOM shows promising performance in a wide range of biomedical image transformation tasks, including in silico histological staining, fluorescence image restoration, and virtual fluorescence labeling. Quantitative evaluations reveal that UTOM achieves stable and high-fidelity image transformations across different imaging conditions and modalities. We anticipate that our framework will encourage a paradigm shift in training neural networks and enable more applications of artificial intelligence in biomedical imaging.
