The purpose of this study was to translate the self-efficacy for appropriate medication use scale into Thai, and then examine the validity and reliability of this version of the questionnaire. Responses to the 13-item Thai version of the selfefficacy for appropriate medication use scale (SEAMS) were collected from 100 Thai with post-MI. None of the 13 items violated any assumption for factor an...

In computer vision saliency detection comprises wide range of methods to detect salient object present in the image. These methods focus how important object can be detect from the image. Results of these methods are fully dependent upon the type and quality of input image. In this paper saliency detection methods, Fixation prediction models, saliency map generated through various saliency dete...

Understanding images with people often entails understanding their interactions with other objects or people. As such, given a novel image, a vision system ought to infer which other objects/people play an important role in a given person’s activity. However, while recent work learns about action-specific interactions (e.g., how the pose of a tennis player relates to the position of his racquet...

Based on bidirectional similarity measure between patches of image, in this study, we investigate the similarity criterion of image for resizing image. First, our scheme implements image resizing by Seam Carving step by step. For each step, we remove five seams, and then calculate the dissimilarity between the original image and its resized one as well as the relative difference of dissimilarit...

Seam carving is a content-aware multimedia retargeting technique to adaptively resize multimedia data for different display sizes. However, it can also be used to remove objects from digital object or video for malicious purposes. In this paper, a forensics hash-based tampering detection and localization approach is proposed for seam carving-based video retargeting. It extracts the invariant Sp...

Nowadays, images are being viewed on the slimmest and the smallest display devices which is a challenge for various image resizing techniques and algorithms. Traditional methods have been used to change the height and width of the image which are ignorant to the content of the image. Effective resizing of images should focus on image content more than anything else. A manageable technique calle...

We present a novel method for content-aware image resizing based on grid transformation. In our proposed method, an original image is projected onto a grid, and then the vertical and horizontal grid lines are moved to resize the image. For obtaining plausible results, our method preserves not only important regions but also aspect ratios of objects and shapes of lines. We define three distortio...

Virtual calligraphic carving aims to generate 3D virtual carving works from 2D calligraphic images. This paper proposes a method of virtual calligraphic carving taking calligraphic carving work as a depth map composed of smoothness scalar field and brush-pressure distribution, which ensures the smoothness of carving surface and interprets the strength of calligraphy, respectively. On one hand, ...

Automatic image retargeting is used for large image.That are to be fit in small size display devices. Without any loss of information.our proposed methods one is saliency based mesh parameterization method is used to retarget the image. Stretch-Based Mesh Parameterization is generating on saliency image. GraphBased visual saliency is used to easily find out the objects in the image. Mesh Genera...

Low cost processes, in both GaAs and Silicon, often use non-planar interconnect metals. While very efficient in simplifying processes, seam (more commonly called ‘‘crack’’) formation due to inter-level dielectric topologies can (1) cause significant thinning in the metallization, impacting the reliability and (2) act as process defects that reduces circuit yield. To better understand and monito...
