normal 0 false false false en-us x-none ar-sa background: cisplatin (cis-diamminedichloroplatinum ii; cp) is used widely as an antitumor drug in clinics, but is accompanied with renal toxicity. cisplatin induced nephrotoxicity consists of change in kidney weight, histological changes in kidney and increase in serum creatinine (cr) and blood urea nitrogen (bun). this study was designed to find o...

In digital image correlation (DIC), to obtain the displacements of each point of interest, a correlation criterion must be predefined to evaluate the similarity between the reference subset and the target subset. The correlation criterion is of fundamental importance in DIC, and various correlation criteria have been designed and used in literature. However, little research has been carried out...

This paper presents a comparison of various similarity measures developed for the real-time control of the vergence angle in an active vision robot head. The vergence angle can be estimated using several difference or correlation measures. These methods are studied comparatively for various image sizes. The Zero-mean Normalized Cross Correlation (ZNCC) measure proved to outperform the other met...

This paper proposes an algorithm for efficient and exhaustive template matching based on the Zero mean Normalized Cross Correlation (ZNCC) function. The algorithm consists in checking at each position a sufficient condition capable of rapidly skipping most of the expensive calculations involved in the evaluation of ZNCC scores at those points that cannot improve the best score found so far. The...

A new method is proposed for detecting and tracking multiple moving objects on night-time lighting conditions. The method is based on integrating both the wavelet-based contrast change detector and locally adaptive thresholding scheme. For outdoor surveillance at night, the size of distant moving objects can be small and the motion between two adjacent images can be very small. The normalized c...

In similarity measure, normalized cross-correlation has found application in broad range of in image processing. This work proposes a novel technique aimed at improving the performance of exhaustive template matching based on NCC. An effective sufficient condition, capable of rapidly pruning those cross correlation score with respect to the current best candidate, can be obtained exploiting an ...

Digital Watermarking embeds identifying information in an image, which is not always hidden, in such a manner that it cannot easily be removed. This is used to identify the owner of the work, to authenticate the content, to trace illegal copies of the work. So many digital image watermarking techniques have been implemented to stop the illegal used of digital content. This correlation based wat...
