This paper presents a technique to classify the circular traffic sign based-on HOG (histogram of oriented gradients) and a ring partitioned matching. The method divides an image into several ring areas, and calculates the HOG feature on each ring area. In the matching process, the weight is assigned to each ring for calculating the distance of HOG feature between tested image and reference imag...

During the course of some experimental work on hog-cholera, paratyphoid bacilli were isolated from 16 per cent of the pigs. Culturally these organisms are the same as paratyphoid 18 isolated from man, while they show several differences from hog-cholera bacilli. In their slight pathogenic effect on rabbits they also differ from the hog-cholera bacillus. In their agglutination in sera produced b...

In this paper, we consider the problem of segmenting an image into sky and non-sky regions, typically referred to as horizon line detection or skyline extraction. Specifically, we present a new approach to horizon line detection by coupling machine learning with dynamic programming. Given an image, the Canny edge detector is applied first and keeping only those edges which survive over a wide r...

Prices in the hog industry in Taiwan are determined according to an auction system. There are significant differences in hog prices before, during and after joining the World Trade Organization (WTO). The paper models growth rates and volatility in daily hog prices in Taiwan from 23 March 1999 to 30 June 2007, which enables an analysis of the effects of joining the WTO. The empirical results ha...

In this paper, we implemented an automated system for brain tumor detection, the main functionality of this system is divided in some parts are Segmentation, Object Labeling, HOG (Histogram Oriented Gradient), feature extraction and linear SVM implementation. For Segmentation we are using K-means algorithm, for Object Labeling HOG is use, HOG also use to extract texture feature, shape context f...

A method using Zernike Moments (ZM) and Histogram of Oriented Gradients (HOG) for classification and recognition of plant leaf images is proposed in this paper. After preprocessing, we compute the shape features of a leaf using Zernike Moments (ZM) and texture features using Histogram of Oriented Gradients (HOG) and then Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier is used for plant leaf image class...

When recognizing others’ action, we pay attention to their body parts and/or objects they are manipulating rather than observing their whole body movement. Bottom-up saliency is a promising cue to determine where to attend and hence to identify what the persons are doing because their body parts acting on objects become more conspicuous when contributing to the action. This paper proposes an ar...

Swine production is a highly scientific and specialized business in American agriculture. According to the Foreign Agricultural Statistics Web site, the total world hog numbers in 1999 were 762 million head. China ranks highest in the production of hogs, which amount to 422.5 million head. The European Community, which consist of France, Spain, Italy, West Germany, Belgium, Netherlands, Luxembo...
