today, concepts such as place attachment, sense of place, meaning of place, place identity, has devoted many studies in literature of architecture and urban design particularly in the field of environmental psychology. it is obvious that in all these concepts, various aspects of interaction between human and place and the impact that places have on people has been presented. this paper defines ...

The main issue in any image zooming techniques is to preserve the structure of the zoomed image. The zoomed image may suffer from the discontinuities in the soft regions and edges; it may contain artifacts, such as image blurring and blocky, and staircase effects. This paper presents a novel image zooming technique using Partial Differential Equations (PDEs). It combines a non-linear Fourth-ord...

The hippocampus is essential for spatial navigation, which may involve sequential learning. However, how the hippocampus encodes new sequences in familiar environments is unknown. To study the impact of novel spatial sequences on the activity of hippocampal neurons, we monitored hippocampal ensembles while rats learned to switch from two familiar trajectories to a new one in a familiar environm...

abstract cognizing environment in human vision-system is complex process. part of this process is perceiving image elements and attention signals in general. in the other hand, extracting special description from image elements. it is assumed that the environment scene is a kind of image. according to this description, it is justifiable to interpret image according to the gestalt theory princip...

In the context of multimedia information mining growth, image retrieval has an important place. The content-based image retrieval paradigm consists of computing image similarities by distances between image descriptors; important research efforts have been deployed by now for improving the description procedures. Still, the visualization of the similarity relations between images and the curren...

In this paper we present a novel place recognition algorithm inspired by recent discoveries in human visual neuroscience. The algorithm combines intolerant but fast low resolution whole image matching with highly tolerant, sub-image patch matching processes. The approach does not require prior training and works on single images (although we use a cohort normalization score to exploit temporal ...

volume estimation of most agricultural products using mathematical methods is not accurate because of their irregular shape. an alternative method is image processing, which can be used in continuous sorting machines. the objective of this study is to find a practical method for volume estimation of potatoes using image processing. fifty potatoes (marfona variety) were selected as experimental ...
