Sub-block oriented media processor architecture is presented. A block oriented instruction set extension is proposed to process and transfer 1D or 2D data blocks. Two programmable processors are employed to perform sequential processing and block oriented processing respectively. We evaluated the performance potential of the media processor architecture using a special FPGA card, and an image F...

Theia is a software framework for multispectral image analysis. The design is grounded on the object-oriented approach and a model combining parallel computation with selective data processing. Multispectral images from the archaeological site of Aquileia, Italy, have been used as the experimental testbed in order to assess the effectiveness and performance of the system; satisfactory results a...

This paper demonstrates design and fabrication o f a mechatronic system for human drowsiness detection. This system can be used in multiple places. For example, in factories, it is used on some dangerous machinery and in cars in order t o prevent the operator o r driver from falling asleep. This system is composed of three parts: (1) mechanical, (2) electrical and (3) image processing system. A...

the human facial recognition is the base for all facial processing systems. in this work a basicmethod is presented for the reduction of detection time in fixed image with different color levels.the proposed method is the simplest approach in face spatial localization, since it doesn’trequire the dynamics of images and information of the color of skin in image background. inaddition, to do face...

introduction: the image quality as well as film speed is influenced by the film processing conditions. different combinations of films and processing methods affect the diagnostic accu-racy. temperature and developer exhaustion result in different image quality. the purpose of this study was to evaluate the influence of film type and processing conditions on caries detec-tion.  material and met...

3.1 Introduction Connguring or programming image processing systems is a time-consuming task which requires specialized knowledge on the eeects of image processing algorithms as well as knowledge about the implementation and interfaces. Clearly, software engineering is required for the application programmer of image processing systems. But even people who do not implement their applications th...
