چکیده

In this paper we discuss application of an anisotropic diffusion equation in processing Posterior Capsular Opacification (PCO) Images. Such images are recorded to monitor the state of a patient’s vision after cataract surgery. Non-linear filtering using an anisotropic diffusion equation generates segmentation-like results by enhancing edges represented by the high value of the gradient and smoothing away small inter-regional features. The algorithm ensures an existence of a stable fixed-point solution and maintains a mean grey level of image intensity.

Two New Methods of Boundary Correction for Classifying Textural Images

With the growth of technology, supervising systems are increasingly replacing humans in military, transportation, medical, spatial, and other industries. Among these systems are machine vision systems which are based on image processing and analysis. One of the important tasks of image processing is classification of images into desirable categories for the identification of objects or their sp...

Hierarchical Functional Concepts for Knowledge Transfer among Reinforcement Learning Agents

This article introduces the notions of functional space and concept as a way of knowledge representation and abstraction for Reinforcement Learning agents. These definitions are used as a tool of knowledge transfer among agents. The agents are assumed to be heterogeneous; they have different state spaces but share a same dynamic, reward and action space. In other words, the agents are assumed t...

PAIRED ANISOTROPIC DISTRIBUTION FOR IMAGE SELECTIVE SMOOTHING

‎In this paper‎, ‎we present a novel approach for image selective smoothing by the evolution of two paired nonlinear‎ ‎partial differential equations‎. ‎The distribution coefficient in de-noising equation controls the speed of distribution‎, ‎and is‎ ‎determined by the edge-strength function‎. ‎In the previous works‎, ‎the edge-strength function depends on isotropic‎ ‎smoothing of the image‎...

Let's read! We will often find out this sentence everywhere. When still being a kid, mom used to order us to always read, so did the teacher. Some books are fully read in a week and we need the obligation to support reading. What about now? Do you still love reading? Is reading only for you who have obligation? Absolutely not! We here offer you a new book enPDFd advanced concepts for intelligen...
