This paper presents optical coherence tomography (OCT) signal intensity variation based segmentation algorithms for retinal layer identification. Its main ambition is to reduce the calculation time required by layer identification algorithms. Two algorithms, one for the identification of the internal limiting membrane (ILM) and the other for retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) identification are i...

In this paper we propose a real-time signal processing framework for musical audio that 1) aligns the audio with an existing music score or creates a musical score by automated music transcription algorithms; and 2) obtains the expressive feature descriptors of music performance by comparing the score with the audio. Real-time audio segmentation algorithms are implemented to identify the onset ...

ABSTRACT- The high production of orange fruit in Iran calls for quality sorting of this product as a requirement for entering global markets. This study was devoted to the development of an automatic fruit sorter based on size. The hardware consisted of two units. An image acquisition apparatus equipped with a camera, a robotic arm and controller circuits. The second unit consisted of a robotic...

Background: Medical image interpolation is recently introduced as a helpful tool to obtain further information via initial available images taken by tomography systems. To do this, deformable image registration algorithms are mainly utilized to perform image interpolation using tomography images.Materials and Methods: In this work, 4DCT thoracic images of five real patients provided by DI...

In some algorithms, segmentation of the word image considers the first step of the recognition processes; the main aim of this paper is proposed new fusion equations for improving the segmentation of word image. The technique that has used is divided into two phases; at the beginning, applying the Arabic Heuristic Segmenter (AHS), AHS uses the shape features of the word image, it employs three ...

In this paper, a new method is introduced for sperm detection in microscopic images for infertility treatment. In this method, firstly a hypothesis testing function is defined to separate sperms from plasma, non-sperm semen particles and noise. Then, some primary candidates are selected for sperms by watershed-based segmentation algorithm. Finally, candidates are either confirmed or rejected us...

Vision systems employing region segmentation by color are crucial in applications such as object tracking, automated manufacturing and mobile robotics. Traditionally, systems employing realtime color-based segmentation are either implemented in hardware, or as very specific software systems that take advantage of domain knowledge to attain the necessary efficiency. However, we have found that w...
