development of an autonomous weeding machine requires a vision system capable of detecting and locating the position of the crop. it is important for the vision system to be able to recognize the accurate position of the crop stem to be protected during weeding. several shape features of corn plants and common weed species in the location were extracted by means of morphological operations. eff...

We present an open-source platform-independent C++ framework for machine learning and computer vision research. The framework includes a wide range of standard machine learning and graphical models algorithms as well as reference implementations for many machine learning and computer vision applications. The framework contains Matlab wrappers for core components of the library and an experiment...

Aquatic products are becoming increasingly popular because of their high nutritional value. Size information is an important parameter that can be used to measure the growth, weight, gender, grading and even species identification of fish. However, size information is a highly tedious and inefficient measure when conducted manually through traditional methods. Machine vision is a nondestructive...

Quality control is one of the industrial tasks most susceptible to be improved by implementing technological innovations. As an innovative technology, machine vision enables reliable and fast 24/7 inspections helps producers improve efficiency manufacturing operations. The accessible data equipment will used identify report defective products, understand causes deficiencies allow rapid efficien...

The present paper aims at unrevealing research avenues in the field of machine vision for fruit characterization/grading. Machine vision in fruit processing industries has been an important arena due to the fact that it can eliminate various problems associated with manual grading such as inconsistency, monotonous, biased etc. in order to attempt such problems faced by the industries, it is imp...

Every year tons of fruits are processed in agro and food processing industry. The quality of the fruit plays a vital and is determined by shape, color and size. Manual sorting is one method to sort the fruits that is tedious and takes more time to process. To avoid the above difficulties, automatic sorting and grading can be done using machine vision system. Machine vision methods provide autom...

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...

Let us now consider the case where the solution is overdetermined. Now there are more sets of equations than there are unknowns, which is manifested by A being rectangular, with more rows than columns (i.e. tall and thin). In general, there will be no vector x that satisfies all of the equations. In the absence of a perfect solution, we aim to find a solution that minimizes the square error bet...
