      Sebastian, Anila; Elharrouss, Omar; Al-Maadeed, Somaya; Almaadeed, Noor ( Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI) , 2023 , Article)
      Diabetes is a global problem which impacts people of all ages. Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a main ailment of the eyes resulting from diabetes which can result in loss of eyesight if not detected and treated on time. The ...
    • The ICDAR2011 Arabic writer identification contest 

      Hassane A.; Al-Maadeed, Somaya; Alja'am J.M.; Jaoua A.; Bouridane A. ( IEEE , 2011 , Conference Paper)
      Arabic writer identification is a very active research field. However, no standard benchmark is available for researchers in this field. The aim of this competition is to gather researchers and compare recent advances in ...
    • Ultra-Low Energy CNFET-Based Ternary Combinational Circuits Designs 

      Jaber R.A.; Aljaam J.M.; Owaidat B.; Al-Maadeed, Somaya; Kassem A.; ... more authors ( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. , 2021 , Article)
      The embedded systems, IoT (Internet of Things) devices, and portable electronic devices spread very quickly recently. Most of them depend on batteries to operate. The target of this work is to decrease energy consumption ...
    • Undecimated wavelet-based Bayesian denoising in mixed Poisson-Gaussian noise with application on medical and biological images 

      Boubchir L.; Al-Maadeed, Somaya; Bouridane A. ( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. , 2015 , Conference Paper)
      Due to photon and readout noise biomedical images are generally contaminated by a mixed Poisson-Gaussian noise. In this paper, we propose a Bayesian image denoising methodology for images corrupted by a mixed Poisson-Gaussian ...
