Development of biomedical image processing software package for new learners

Abstract

Biomedical image processing techniques involve a lot of mathematical equations and new learners need to calculate manually in order to analyze such techniques. It is therefore very important that they understand the biomedical image processing through live demonstration to add to their understanding of the techniques. This research will enable the biomedical students and staff, who are new learners in medical image processing, to use a software package that can analyze various techniques of biomedical image processing. It is one of the alternative ways to improve their learning process. Moreover, developing this user friendly software package using the Matrix Laboratory (MATLAB) will bring a lot of benefits to the users. Among the benefits of the software are shortening the time to process an image and helping the new learners to study about image processing because they can observe the particular object rather than just applying mathematical equations
