in this research, first of all, the existing problems in fragmentation measurement are reviewed for the sake of its fast and reliable evaluation. then, the available methods used for evaluation of blast results are mentioned. the produced errors especially in recognizing the rock fragments in computer-aided methods, and also, the importance of determination of their sizes in the image analysis ...

As the information carried in a high spatial resolution image is not represented by single pixels but by meaningful image objects, which include the association of multiple pixels and their mutual relations, the object based method has become one of the most commonly used strategies for the processing of high resolution imagery. This processing comprises two fundamental and critical steps towar...

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 ...

cantaloupe (cucumis melo) volume was measured using water displacement and image processing methods. the volume determined from image processing method was compared to the volume determined by the water displacement method using the paired samples t-test and the bland-altman approach. the paired samples t-test results showed that the volume determined by image processing method was not signific...

geological studies are basic formof operations for the exploration and development of oil and gas fields.preparation of topographical and geological maps and drawingcross section from thesemaps formspart of these operations. existing lineaments in the study area are important, and should be considered in drawing the geological sections. the evaluation of wells stability is one of the important ...

sorting and classification of agricultural products by machine vision system reduce costs and increase quality and accuracy. this research was performed to develop an algorithm and machine vision system for separating dirty and defects eggs and classifying by volume and weight. this machine installed on transport line egg in agriculture included a digital camera, computer and mechanical device ...
