With the growing emergence of the Internet connectivity in this era of Gen Z, several IoT solutions have come into existence for exchanging large scale of data securely, backed up by their own unique cloud service providers (CSPs). It has, therefore, generated the need for customers to decide the IoT cloud platform to suit their vivid and volatile demands in terms of attributes like security and privacy of data, performance efficiency, cost optimization, and other individualistic properties as per unique user. In spite of the existence of many software solutions for this decision‐making problem, they have been proved to be inadequate considering the distinct attributes unique to individual user. This paper proposes a framework to represent the selection of IoT cloud platform as a MCDM problem, thereby providing a solution of optimal efficacy with a particular focus in user‐specific priorities to create a unique solution for volatile user demands and agile market trends and needs using optimized distance‐based approach (DBA) aided by Fuzzy Set Theory.

Recently in medical imaging, various cases of cancers have been explored because of high dose radiation in computed tomography (CT) scan examinations. These high radiation doses are given to patients to achieve good quality CT images. Instead of increasing radiation dose, an alternate method is required to get high quality images for diagnosis purpose. In this paper, we propose a method where, the noise of CT images will be estimated using patch-based gradient approximation. Further, estimated noise is used to denoise the CT images in tetrolet domain. In proposed scheme, a locally adaptive-based thresholding in tetrolet domain and non-local means filtering have been performed to suppress noise from CT images. Estimation noise from proposed method has been compared from added noise in CT images and it was observed that noise is almost correctly estimated by proposed method. To verify the strength of noise suppression in proposed scheme, comparison with recent other existing methods have been performed. The PSNR and visual quality of experimental results indicate that the proposed scheme gives excellent outcomes in compare to existing schemes.

The impact of radiation dose is directly related to the quality of computed tomography (CT) images. Low‐dose CT images are degraded with the noise and other factors. Noise reduction methods are very helpful to enhance the noisy CT images with a possibility to increase the signal‐to‐noise ratio (SNR) and have a scope for further reduction of radiation dose. In this study, a denoising scheme is proposed which is applicable only for two identical images with uncorrelated noise. In the proposed scheme, a non‐local means (NLM) filter is used to denoise the first input image and a wavelet packet thresholding to denoise the second input image. Results of NLM filter are analysed and found excellent for noise suppression but missing the small structures of the input image. To recover that, the proposed scheme is using correlation‐based wavelet packet thresholding. The final outcomes of the proposed scheme are excellent in terms of noise suppression and structure preservation. The proposed scheme is compared with existing methods and it is observed that performance of the proposed method is superior to existing methods in terms of visual quality, image quality index, peak SNR and entropy difference.
