This Paper offers an effective method to measure the length of the femur in Fetal Ultrasound Images, it applies a series of steps starting with the reducing amount of noise in these images, and then converted them to a binary form and uses morphological operations to segment the femur and isolate it from the rest of the image objects, then it applies an Edge Detector in order to find the edges of the bone, then uses the Hough Transform to detect straight lines in the image. we apply overlapping for resulted lines on the original image, finally we choose the most significant and longest straight line which is corresponding to the length of the femur. The proposed method facilitates the measurement of the femur without the help of a physician through a series of steps.

This Paper offers an innovative way for auto segmentation of the fetal head in ultrasound US images. There is high amount of noise in US images, which it affects the visual appearance of the area of head. The research depends on auto segmentation mechanism without the need for user intervention at any stage of proposed method, so this is what makes segmentation process is difficult and important at the same, because the weakness of the edges and not fully enclosed in the desired region. We relied on a Level Set method to segment the head area, after determining the initial contour automatically by the Region Properties Function. The proposed method proves effective in the head area segmentation without being influenced by noise or the existence of discontinuities in the edges of the head, despite the absence of a pre-processing stage in a series of steps applied to several ultrasound images in different sizes and sources. The last step is to calculate the secondary diameter of the output ellipse (the fetal head sector) depending on the properties of the region, and this final measurement represents the Bi Parietal Diameter BPD, an important measure enables the physician to assess gestational age and determine the birth of the fetus date. Segmentation result has been authenticated based on similarity criteria, and the final measurement accuracy has been compared with manual measurements carried out by a specialist. The comparison results showed the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm and its success by up to 98%.
The entry of computer to many areas, such as medical field, led to develop new technique that has led to the prosperity of these areas, and helped doctors to detect and diagnose diseases accurately and credibility, where the experience of the docto r in addition to the accuracy of computer lead to access to the credibility of high patient and save human lives. A new approach for cardiac diseases detection and classification in ECG signals images is proposed using Adaptive Neuro Fuzzy Inference System ANFIS. The proposed approach is applied on database containing (147) ECG images, each of them accompanied with its medical report. The medical reports were used to validate the detection and classification. The proposed method achieved a relatively high accuracy (97%) in detection and classification processes. The proposed approach is developed using MATLAB, and based on its libraries, image processing, neural network and fuzzy logic.
The various types of radial distortions generated by digital cameras are presented in this paper, like Barrel Distortions and Pincushion Distortion. Image processing techniques are used to correct the barrel distortion generated by wide-angle lenses of digital cameras. A model for barrel distortions is founded. Moreover, an algorithm for correcting this distortion is developed. This algorithm depends on finding the right parameters of the model. The grid pattern is used to detect pixels that caused the distortion and reallocate these pixels back into their original locations, making the corrected photo as close as possible to the original.
This paper presents an algorithm for designing a system that classifies standard human facial expressions which are fear, disgust, sad , surprise, anger, happiness, and the normal expression . The facial expression that is presented in the input im age of the system can be classified depending on extracting appearance features then, it is entered into neural network to complete the classification process using Matlab as a programming language. Multiple stages completed the work, which are, (collection images, pre-processing of the images, feature extraction, training neural network, classification and testing). Our system has been able to achieve the highest rating when the expression of anger reached 100 %, while the lowest rating was at the expression of sad by 30%.
