Potholes though seem inconsequential, may cause accidents resulting in loss of human life. In this paper, we present an automated system to efficiently manage the potholes in a ward by deploying geotagging and image processing techniques that overcomes the drawbacks associated with the existing survey-oriented systems. Image processing is used for identification of target pothole regions in the...

The development of customized image processing applications is time consuming and requires high level skills. This paper describes the design of an interactive application generation system oriented towards producing image processing software programs. The description is focused on two models which constitute the core of the human-computer interaction. First, the formulation model identifies an...

Bilateral filtering is widely used to enhance photographic images, but in most implementations is poorly suited to seismic images. A bilateral filter consists of two filter kernels. By replacing one of those kernels with a smoothing filter that conforms to image structures, we obtain a bilateral filter suitable for seismic image processing. Examples and comparison with conventional edge-preserv...

Farming organic vegetable and crops have grown as a market desiring commodity. Weed control in farms has been costly and laborous and it has always been hard to achieve a proper weeding. A few chemicals are commonly applied in organic farming. Thermal weeding with flame burners seems a good solution; however, it has its own drawbacks, such as; damaging the main crops, low performance, being inf...

This paper describes the concept of an Iconic Kernel System which provides a general software tooibox allowing image processing algorithms to be implemented independently of computer hardware and operating systems. Following a strict object-oriented design philosophy, it contains a basic set of data structures and operations from which the applicationspecific software environments can be built....

The objective of this research was the development of a generic image segmentation algorithm, as a low level processing part of an integrated object-oriented image analysis system. The implemented algorithm is called Mseg and can be described as a region merging procedure. The first primitive object representation is the single image pixel. Through iterative pairwise object fusions, which are m...
