Color constancy in color image segmentation is an important research issue. In this paper we develop a framework, based on the Dichromatic Re ection Model for asserting the color highlight and shading invariance, and based on a Markov Random Field approach for segmentation. A given RGB image is transformed into a R'G'B' space to remove any highlight components, and only the vector-angle compone...

Content based image retrieval CBIR has been one of the most important research area in the field of computer science. There were many CBIR techniques have been proposed in the last decade. In this paper we propose a CBIR method which is modified form of color averaging technique. In previous color averaging techniques e.g. row mean, column mean ,forward diagonal mean, backward diagonal mean, su...

This paper presents a new real-time stereo correspondence method based on combined similarity measurement and guided filter. Many stereo correspondence methods use color intensity value as pixel similarity measurement, color intensity value is sensitive to noise, exposure, light and etc, so error correspondence rates of these methods are high. Gradient value is more robust to these factors than...

Automatic extraction of local features from images plays an important role in many computer vision tasks. During the last years, much focus has been put on making the features invariant to geometric transformations such as a rotation and scaling of the image. Recently, some work has been published concerning the integration of color information into the detection and description step of SIFT. I...

Rods and cones subserve mouse vision over a 100 million-fold range of light intensity (-6 to 2 log cd m(-2)). Rod pathways tune vision to the temporal frequency of stimuli (peak, 0.75 Hz) and cone pathways to their speed (peak, approximately 12 degrees/s). Both pathways tune vision to the spatial components of stimuli (0.064-0.128 cycles/degree). The specific photoreceptor contributions were de...

Coupling between cyclically varying external light and an endogenous biochemical oscillator known as the circadian clock, modulates a rhythmic pattern with two prominent peaks in the locomotion of Drosophila melanogaster. A morning peak appears around the time lights turn on and an evening peak appears just before lights turn off. The close association between the peaks and the external 12:12 h...

Several research works have been done in recent times utilizing grayscale image for the measurement of many physical phenomena. In this present paper, we have designed an embedded based inclination sensor utilizing the grayscale image with a resolution of 0.3o. The sensor module consists of a circular shaped metal disc, laminated with grayscale image and an optical transreceiver. The sensor pri...

The Derivative Spectrophotometry usually improves resolution bands, eliminates the influence of background and provides more defined fingerprints than original spectra, hence enhancing the detectability of minor spectral features. In this work, different madder types were collected and applied for dyeing woolen yarns used in Persian carpet in conventional pre-mordanting and dyeing process with ...

This article investigates the cross-modal correspondences between musical timbre and shapes. Previously, such features as pitch, loudness, light intensity, visual size, and color characteristics have mostly been used in studies of audio-visual correspondences. Moreover, in most studies, simple stimuli e.g., simple tones have been utilized. In this experiment, 23 musical sounds varying in fundam...

Most New World monkey species have both dichromatic and trichromatic individuals present in the same population. The selective forces acting to maintain the variation are hotly debated and are relevant to the evolution of the 'routine' trichromatic colour vision found in catarrhine primates. While trichromats have a foraging advantage for red food compared with dichromats, visual tasks which di...
