The distribution of color values in color images depends on the illumination which varies widely under real–world conditions. We present a new approach for color normalization which adjusts the statistical properties of the distribution to predefined values. We introduce two algorithms based on geometric manipulations of the color cluster. Our new color rotation algorithm is tested on some natu...

Background and Objectives: Kerman Province, especially city of Bam in the southeast part of Iran, is epidemics for dry type cutaneous leishmaniasis (DTCL). This study was conducted to compare the effect of different treatments on parasite DNA load following therapies using Real-Time PCR method. Materials and Methods: Fifteen patients were divided into three groups under therapy with intralesio...

In this contribution a normalization procedure for automatic speech recognition is introduced which aims at reducing speaking rate specific variations of the features of the phonetic classes. A “spurtwise” calculation of normalization factors allows to capture changes of the speaking rate within one utterance. The costsaving implementation using linear interpolation of the original features and...

PURPOSE To determine whether the myopic changes and ocular hypotension after a glucose load are caused by hyperglycemia. METHODS Oral glucose tolerance tests were conducted on seven healthy young subjects with normal vision. The changes in the hematologic parameters and the refractive system were measured periodically for 150 minutes after the glucose load. RESULTS After the glucose load, t...
