Frequency histograms are ubiquitous, being practically used in any field of science. In this paper, we present a partial order for frequency and, to our knowledge, no kind has been yet defined. This is based on the stochastic discrete probability distributions and it invariance properties that make unique. First, model histogram as sequence bins associated with (or relative frequency) distribut...

Processes involving heat generation and dissipation play an important role in the performance of numerous materials. The behavior of (semi-)aqueous materials such as hydrogels during production and application, but also properties of biological tissue in disease and therapy (e.g., hyperthermia) critically depend on heat regulation. However, currently available thermometry methods do not provide...

Due to the differences of imaging principles, image matching between visible and thermal infrared images still exist new challenges and difficulties. Inspired by the complementary spatial and frequency information of geometric structural features, a robust descriptor is proposed for visible and thermal infrared images matching. We first divide two different spatial regions to the region around ...

background: in this paper we compare a highly accurate supervised to an unsupervised technique that uses breast thermal images with the aim of assisting physicians in early detection of breast cancer. methods: first, we segmented the images and determined the region of interest. then, 23 features that included statistical, morphological, frequency domain, histogram and gray-level co-occurrence ...

Bruising is defined as damage of fruit tissue as a result of external forces which cause physical changes of texture or chemical changes of color, smell and taste. With the development in imaging technology, on-line detection of bruises on fruits & vegetables is feasible. Proposed system is developed for finding surface and subsurface defects along with their sizes in percentages with respect t...

in this paper, the performance of 11 different distances for image retrieval and classification, based on color, shape and texture, is evaluated. the precision-recall measure and the correct classification rate of the k-nn classifier are used to evaluate retrieval and classification performances, respectively. the experimental results for a database of 1000 images from 10 different semantic gro...
