DETECTING DEFECTS IN CHERRIES USING MACHINE VISION By Patchrawat Uthaisombut This thesis describes machine vision procedures which are able to classify defective cherries from non-defective cherries. Defects can be divided into bruises, dry cracks, and wet cracks. Bandpass lters that enhance the intensity contrast between bruised and unbruised cherries are determined. An optimum combination of ...

This paper provides an analysis of the procedures adopted by statutory safeguarding partners throughout England in response to finding bruising premobile infants. Against backdrop empirical research, we begin challenging view that infants can be considered rare and thus suggestive physical abuse. Then, within procedure themselves, point differences definitions what constitutes a child, interpre...

Cutaneous bruises are a common symptom and a sign of injury and blood coagulation disorders in childhood. A carefully-taken history, coupled with a thorough physical examination, would lead to the diagnosis, or guide the clinician to the necessary laboratory investigations. Most children suffering from non-accidental injury can have their diagnosis established on clinical grounds alone and do n...

INTRODUCTION Injuries that develop secondary to minor traumas and cannot be detected via direct examination methods, but are detected via advanced imaging methods, such as magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, are called occult bone injuries or bone bruises. In such injuries, diagnostic arthroscopy usually does not reveal any pathology. MR imaging methods are quite beneficial for the diagnosis of su...

Near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy has been widely reported for its useful applications in assessing internal fruit qualities. Motivated by apple consumption the global market, this study aims to evaluate possibility of applying NIR imaging detect slight bruises fruits. A simple optical setup was designed, and low-cost system components were used promote future development practical cost-efficien...
