متن کاملPerformance evaluation of block-based copy- move image forgery detection algorithms
Copy-move forgery is a particular type of distortion where a part or portions of one image is/are copied to other parts of the same image. This type of manipulation is done to hide a particular part of the image or to copy one or more objects into the same image. There are several methods for detecting copy-move forgery, including block-based and key point-based methods. In this paper, a method...

BACKGROUND Sixty years ago diabetes was almost non-existent in Greenland and until the beginning of this century awareness of diabetes was quite minimal. A high prevalence of undiagnosed diabetes has been reported in repeated population surveys. Increased focus on diabetes has been made a priority within the health care system since 2008, and in 2010 glycated haemoglobin was introduced as a dia...
