State of the art query by example spoken term detection (QbE-STD) systems rely on representation of speech in terms of sequences of class-conditional posterior probabilities estimated by deep neural network (DNN). The posteriors are often used for pattern matching or dynamic time warping (DTW). Exploiting posterior probabilities as speech representation propounds diverse advantages in a classif...

texture image analysis is one of the most important working realms of image processing in medical sciences and industry. up to present, different approaches have been proposed for segmentation of texture images. in this paper, we offered unsupervised texture image segmentation based on markov random field (mrf) model. first, we used gabor filter with different parameters’ (frequency, orientatio...

remote sensing can be used as a powerful tool by using data from different sources and combine them for vegetation and land cover classification. pasture type classification provides key information for analysis of agricultural productivity, carbon accounting and biodiversity. the first data set that used in this study landsat tm (thematic mapper) optical image and the second envisat asar radar...

with quick development of digital images and the availability of imaging tools, massive amounts of images are created. therefore, efficient management and suitable retrieval, especially by computers, is one of themost challenging fields in image processing. automatic image annotation (aia) or refers to attaching words, keywords or comments to an image or to a selected part of it. in this paper,...

In this paper, a new approach is presented for improving image quality. It provides a new outlook on how to apply the enhancment methods on images. Image enhancement techniques may deal with the  illumination, resolution, or distribution of pixels values. Issues such as the illumination of the scene and reflectance of objects affect on image captures. Generally, the pixels value of an image is ...

The image content detectability and image structure preservation are closely related concepts with undeniable role in image quality assessment. However, the most attention of image quality studies has been paid to image structure evaluation, few of them focused on image content detectability. Examining the image structure was firstly introduced and assessed in Structural SIMilarity (SSIM) measu...

since the birth of multi–spectral imaging techniques, there has been a tendency to consider and process this new type of data as a set of parallel gray–scale images, instead of an ensemble of an n–d realization. although, even now, some researchers make the same assumption, it is proved that using vector geometries leads to better results. in this paper, first a method is proposed to extract th...

The main issue in any image zooming techniques is to preserve the structure of the zoomed image. The zoomed image may suffer from the discontinuities in the soft regions and edges; it may contain artifacts, such as image blurring and blocky, and staircase effects. This paper presents a novel image zooming technique using Partial Differential Equations (PDEs). It combines a non-linear Fourth-ord...
