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...

RG is an image processing system that allows sophisticated image processing operations to be defined by composing primitive image processing filters. An implementation of RG using OOP is easy to do and quite manageable, but its performance is severely lacking. The OOP approach turns out not to be well-suited to addressing the performance problems because the performance issues we want to handle...

More than 90% of Malaysian roads are constructed using asphaltic concrete. However, previous investigations of asphaltic concrete have mainly concentrated on the macroscopic properties of the composite materials based on the assumption that the mixtures are homogeneous and isotropic. This paper applies a digital image processing technique to compare the orientations of coarse aggregate particle...

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 ...

introduction: in patients with cardiac artery disease, a myocardial perfusion scan, which is a non-invasive method, is utilized. this study is conducted to develop an advantageous software applicable to quantitative myocardial spect perfusion. material and methods: each cross-section of the left ventricle was segmented by applying a fuzzy clustering method. after obtaining the myocardial skelet...

We develop Lavatube as an image processing workflow middleware for efficient research and development. Lavatube is an object-oriented framework optimized for constructing a computer vision system, particularly a video and image processing system. Lavatube enables a description of a processing extension by combining various functional components. Since the data flow is easy to describe by graphc...

Laboratory experiments for image processing courses are usually software implementations of processing algorithms, but students of image processing come from diverse backgrounds with widely differing software experience. To avoid learning overhead, the software system should be easy to learn and use, even for those with no exposure to mathematical programming languages or object-oriented progra...
