With the rapid increase in the volume of Big data of this digital era, fax documents, invoices, receipts, etc are traditionally subjected to compression for the efficiency of data storage and transfer. However, in order to process these documents, they need to undergo the stage of decompression which indents additional computing resources. This limitation induces the motivation to research on t...

Character Segmentation of Handwritten Documents has been an active area of research and due to its diverse applicable environment; it continues to be a challenging research topic. The desire to edit scanned text document forces the researchers to think about the optical character recognition (OCR). OCR is the process of recognizing a segmented part of the scanned image as a character. OCR proce...

In this paper, we present a new technique of taking a 3D profile measurement using colored structured lighting projection. A pattern of colored stripes was projected onto an object when taking images with cameras from various angles, and then all possible available match information was provided from the acquired images and database of the projection pattern. A correct match was then obtained f...

The half-tone lithography using pixilated chromium masks in a projection stepper is an established technology in microoptics fabrication. However, the projection lithography tool is comparably expensive and the achievable lateral resolution is typically limited. By using pixel diffraction effects, binary and continuous profile lithography with submicron resolution can be installed on a conventi...

-------------------------------------------------------------ABSTRACT-------------------------------------------------------Biometric Technologies are automated methods for verifying or recognizing the identity of a living person based on physiological or behavioral characteristics. Multimodal Biometric Systems are those which utilize more than one physiological or behavioral characteristic for...

Rail inspection is an important task in railway maintenance. The speed and loads of trains have been increasing greatly in recent years, and these factors inevitably raise the risk of producing rail defects. Mainly the discrete surface defects impact the riding quality and safety of a railway system. However, it is a challenge to inspect such defects in a vision system because of illumination i...

Geometrical optical projection three-dimensional profile measurement has the advantages of non-contact, non-destructive, and fast data acquisition. Its system is most promising kind macro-optical profiler. The thesis analyzes laser light source image acquisition processing, designs tomographic reconstruction display experimental imaging system, conducts theoretical analysis its theory, quality ...

Molecular underpinnings of complex psychiatric disorders such as autism spectrum disorders (ASD) remain largely unresolved. Increasingly, structural variations in discrete chromosomal loci are implicated in ASD, expanding the search space for its disease etiology. We exploited the high genetic heterogeneity of ASD to derive a predictive map of candidate genes by an integrated bioinformatics app...
