some physicochemical parameters of honey have been introduced by the international honey commission to evaluate its quality and origin but processes such as heating and filtering can affect these parameters. in traditional iranian medicine, deslagging process involves boiling honey in an equal volume of water and removing the slag formed during process. the aim of this study was to determine th...

In order to create a good 3D reconstruction from an image, shape information of the object of interest is needed. One way to acquire it is based on the shading information. This can be solved using the Shape from Shading method. Unfortunately this method has some drawbacks, namely the depth ambiguity problems. Two points which have the same intensity will have the same depth, although in realit...

In this paper, we propose a method to represent the image based on the image color constitute region, to retain the color texture information, and to reconstruct image by interpolation. The image would be segmented by the watershed algorithm to get color gradient direction as the texture information, and be represented by asymmetric and anti-packing model. The gradient direction would indicate ...

We describe a technique for video summarization that uses motion descriptors computed in the compressed domain to speed up conventional color based video summarization technique. The basic hypothesis of the work is that the intensity of motion activity of a video segment is a direct indication of its “summarizability.” We present experimental verification of this hypothesis. We are thus able to...

Color intensity projections (CIP) have been shown to improve the visualisation of greyscale angiography images by combining greyscale images into a single color image. A key property of the combined CIP image is the encoding of the arrival time information from greyscale images into the hue of the color in the CIP image. A few minor improvements to the calculation of the CIP image are introduce...

With the emergence of artesunate antimalarial counterfeiting in Southeast Asia and sub-Saharan Africa, we present the production of a rapid, inexpensive and simple colorimetric-based testing kit for the detection of counterfeit artesunate in order to preserve life and prevent the development of multi-drug resistant malaria. The kit works based on paper microfluidics which offer several advantag...
