pistachio processing is one of the ways to increase the value added of pistachio. production of pistachio butter is for this purpose. pistachio butter is a paste form product that contain mainly milled, roasted pistachio kernel with sugar. the aim of this investigation is to produce pistachio butter using sunflower and sesame pastes. for this purpose, pistachio butter was formulated using sunfl...

The object of this research is the cracking nuts oil palm (Elaesis guineensis). tree one greatest economic assets a nation can have, provided its importance realized and fully harnessed. After extraction from fruits, virtually all methods involved in kernel nut both traditional small-scale exist scattered or separate units operations. Hence, focused on designing unit incorporating separator for...

Segmentation is an important step for image analysis, but a good segment algorithm which can handle color image with texture area and has less computation time is rare. W e propose to use the local window image histogram, which is easy to compute and could quickly collect the information of neighbors, together with the Se2f-Organization of Kohonen Feature Map ( SOFM ) neural network, which can ...

In this paper, we use a multifractal approach based on the computation of two spectrums for image analysis and texture segmentation problems. The two spectrums are the Legendre Spectrum, determined by classical methods, and the Large Deviation Spectrum, determined by kernel density estimation. We propose a way for the fusion of these two spectrums to improve textured image segmentation results....

We investigate a new registration method for ultrasound volumes relying on on a statistical texture-based similarity measure. Texture information is given by spatial Gabor filters and represented by statistical kernel-based distributions. The registration similarity measure is then defined as a probabilistic distance, derived from Bhattacharyya coefficient, between two statistical distributions...

Coconut, Cocos nucifera L., is a tree that is cultivated for its multiple utilities, mainly for its nutritional and medicinal values. The various products of coconut include coconut water, copra, coconut oil, raw kernel, coconut cake, coconut shell and wood based products, coconut leaves, etc. Its all parts are used in some way or another in daily life. Recently, several researches are going on...

Motivated by the recent observation of the shell effect in a nanoscale pure superconductor by Bose et al. [Nat. Mater. 9, 550 (2010)], we explore the possible shell-like effect in a strongly disordered superconductor as it is known to produce nanosize superconducting puddles (SPs). We find a remarkable change in the texture of the pairing amplitudes that is responsible for forming the SP, upon ...

In our earlier work, we found that feature space induced by tactile receptive fields (TRFs) are better than that by visual receptive fields (VRFs) in texture boundary detection tasks. This suggests that TRFs could be intimately associated with texture-like input. In this paper, we investigate how TRFs can develop in a cortical learning context. Our main hypothesis is that TRFs can be self-organ...
