    Feature preserving speckle filtering of the SAR images by wavelet transform
    (Springer, 2008-07-10) Gupta, Rajiv; Gupta, Karunesh K
    Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images are corrupted by speckle noise due to random interference of electromagnetic waves. The speckle degrades the quality of the image and makes it difficult to interpret, analyse and classify. This paper proposes a method that reduces the speckle and preserves the features by using scale-space correlation between the scales. The results show that the proposed method is better than the widely used filters based on the spatial domain, such as Lee, Kuan, Frost, Ehfrost, Median, Gamma filters in terms of feature preservation. Moreover the proposed method achieves a wide range of balances between speckle reduction and feature preservation, and thus is applicable in different applications such as road detection, detection/ identification of bridge, and ribbon like structures. Furthermore, the proposed method does not require prior modeling of either the image or noise statistics. It uses the variance of the detail wavelets coefficients to estimate noise variance.

    A review of emerging trends on water quality measurement sensors
    (IEEE, 2015-04) Gupta, Rajiv; Gupta, Karunesh K
    New concepts and techniques are replacing traditional methods of water quality parameters measurement systems. In modern sensor era, Optical Sensors (OS), Microelectronic Mechanical Systems (MEMS) and Bio-Sensors are important sensing techniques for different water quality parameter detection. Furthermore, these sensors are highly selective, sensitive, economical and user-friendly with quick response. This paper comprehensively reviews and discuss role of emerging techniques in detection of important water quality parameters i.e Dissolved Oxygen, Turbidity, pH, E-Coli, Effective chlorination, Biochemical Oxygen Demand (B.O.D) and fluoride. In addition, also explains why modern water quality parameters sensing techniques are preferable option for detection of above mentioned parameters. A dedicated part of this paper also discusses the significant advantages and limitations of new available techniques.
