Model based analysis or explicit definition/listing of all models or assumptions used in the derivation of an image fusion method allows us to understand the rationale or properties of existing methods and shows a way for a proper usage or proposal/selection of new methods ‘better’ satisfying the needs of a particular application. Most existing pan-sharpening methods are based mainly on the two...

OBJECTIVE This review evaluates the diagnostic efficacy of fluorescence spectroscopy, reflectance spectroscopy, and their combination that use both point probe and multispectral imaging approaches in diagnosing cervical neoplasia in vivo. METHODS Articles were selected for this review from a literature search which report the performance of fluorescence and reflectance spectroscopy devices in...

Theia is a software framework for multispectral image analysis. The design is grounded on the object-oriented approach and a model combining parallel computation with selective data processing. Multispectral images from the archaeological site of Aquileia, Italy, have been used as the experimental testbed in order to assess the effectiveness and performance of the system; satisfactory results a...

Multispectral Iris Recognition Analysis: Techniques and Evaluation by Christopher K. Boyce Master of Science in Electrical Engineering West Virginia University Lawrence Hornak, Ph.D., Chair Arun Ross, Ph.D. (Co-chair) This thesis explores the benefits of using multispectral iris information acquired using a narrow-band multispectral imaging system. Commercial iris recognition systems typically ...

A line-scan machine vision system and multispectral inspection algorithm was developed and evaluated for differentiation of wholesome and systemically diseased chickens on a high-speed processing line. The inspection system acquires line-scan images of chicken carcasses on a 140 bird/min processing line and is able to automatically detect individual birds entering and exiting the field of view ...
