Blind deconvolution and retinal abnormality detection in blurred retinal images
( American Scientific Publishers , 2011 , Article)In this paper, a new technique is presented to enhance the blurred images obtained from retinal imaging; both regular as well as Fluorescein Angiography. While in most of the cases, the image produced is quite clean and ... -
Blind Deconvolution for retinal image enhancement
( IEEE , 2010 , Conference Paper)In this paper, a new technique is presented to enhance the blurred images obtained from retinal imaging. One of the main steps in inspecting the eye (especially the deeper image of retina) is to look into the eye using a ... -
Blind ECG Restoration by Operational Cycle-GANs
( IEEE Computer Society , 2022 , Article)Objective: ECG recordings often suffer from a set of artifacts with varying types, severities, and durations, and this makes an accurate diagnosis by machines or medical doctors difficult and unreliable. Numerous studies ... -
