In the inspection of treated water samples under microscope, knowing the average number of parasite (oo)cysts like Giardia and Cryptosporidium that exist in the samples is crucial as it tells whether the water is safe for consumption. Here, we introduce a new approach using a bidirectional contour tracing technique to segment and enumerate overlapping Cryptosporidium and Giardia (oo)cysts in mi...

Monitoring open water bodies accurately is important for assessing the role of ecosystem services in context human survival and climate change. There are many methods available body extraction based on remote sensing images, such as normalized difference index (NDWI), modified NDWI (MNDWI), machine learning algorithms. Based Landsat-8 this study focuses effects six algorithms three threshold us...

Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a complication of diabetes that affects the eyes. It occurs when high blood sugar levels damage vessels in retina, light-sensitive tissue at back eye. Therefore, there need to detect DR early stages reduce risk blindness. Transfer learning machine technique where pre-trained model used as starting point for new task. has been applied diabetic classification with pro...

Solving the problem of stem contour extraction maize is difficult under open field conditions, and diameter cannot be measured quickly nondestructively. In this paper, at small large bell stages was object study. An adaptive threshold segmentation algorithm based on color space model proposed to obtain in field. Firstly, 2D images were captured with an RGB-D camera. Then, processed by hue satur...

Based on a bibliographic review, the article identifies and offers a critical analysis of scientific production by the public health field in Brazil on genetically modified organisms and food (in)security. Of the 716 articles found on the portals of the Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO) and the Coordinating Agency for the Development of Higher Education (Capes), only 8 address the f...
