Image Vision: Forging A National Image Alliance

Vision without the Image

Novel image sensors transduce the stream of photons directly into asynchronous electrical pulses, rather than forming an image. Classical approaches to vision start from a good quality image and therefore it is tempting to consider image reconstruction as a first step to image analysis. We propose that, instead, one should focus on the task at hand (e.g., detection, tracking or control) and des...

Forging a New Alliance Between Succession and Restoration

1. Succession and restoration are intrinsically linked because succession comprises species and substrate change over time and restoration is the purposeful manipulation of that change. 2. During succession both orderly and unpredictable patterns emerge but some general rules offer theoretical and practical insights for restoration activities. These insights are not often utilized due to inadeq...

MEDICAL IMAGE COMPRESSION: A REVIEW

Within recent years the use of medical images for diagnosis purposes has become necessity. The limitation in transmission and storage space also growing size of medical images has necessitated the need for efficient method, then image Compression is required as an efficient way to reduces irrelevant and redundancy of the image data in order to be able to store or transmits data. It also reduces...

A Cognitive Vision Approach to Image Segmentation

Fractal Vision In Characterizing A Digitized Image

Characterization of a digitized image is often required in nondestructive evaluation. Apart from the existing image processing techniques, a recent method to analyze and quantify complex images has been developed based on the fractal theory. As reported, it is possible to get salient information from any digitized image by evaluating the fractal dimension, the defining characteristic of a fract...
