gesture and motion recognition are needed for a variety of applications. the use of human hand motions as a natural interface tool has motivated researchers to conduct research in the modeling, analysis and recognition of various hand movements. in particular, human-computer intelligent interaction has been a focus of research in vision-based gesture recognition. in this work, we introduce a 3-...

The performance of an automatic fingerprint verification approach relies heavily on the quality of the fingerprint image. Enhancement of the fingerprint image is then a crucial step in automatic fingerprint verification. This paper discusses the fingerprint image processing methods for automatic verification and proposes an adaptive oriented low pass filter to enhance the fingerprint image qual...

Recently, the studies about parallel image processing have been performed extensively. Many systems adopt the data parallel processing for their parallelizing strategies. In the data parallel processing strategy, input image data is divided into some fragments, and each fragment is processed on each processing element (PE). However, in this data parallel strategy, the synchronization among proc...

‎we present an application of the dual gabor frames to image‎ ‎processing‎. ‎our algorithm is based on finding some dual gabor‎ ‎frame generators which reconstructs accurately the elements of the‎ ‎underlying hilbert space‎. ‎the advantages of these duals‎ ‎constructed by a polynomial of gabor frame generators are compared‎ ‎with their canonical dual‎.

purpose: to present a new reliable and accurate iris recognition method applicable in identification systems. methods: the system was implemented and tested on 876 standard iris images (daugman iris images database) from 876 persons of different nationalities via image processing techniques. results: false accept reject (far) and false reject reject (frr) were smaller in our suggested method as...

gait contains important information about the status of the human body and physiological signs. in many medical applications, it isimportant to monitor and accurately analyze the gait of the patient. since walking shows the reproducibility signs in several phases,separating these phases can be used for the gait analysis. in this study, a method based on image processing for extracting phases of...

this paper presents a simple yet powerful original approach for approximating dispersivity in porous media. the key to this approach is both use of least-squares criterion and image processing technique. two dimensional transparent models, including horizontal and vertical configurations, under different combinations of grain sizes and pore velocities, experimented. concentration data were obta...

development of an autonomous weeding machine requires a vision system capable of detecting and locating the position of the crop. it is important for the vision system to be able to recognize the accurate position of the crop stem to be protected during weeding. several shape features of corn plants and common weed species in the location were extracted by means of morphological operations. eff...

background: high-energy ionizing radiation is harmful and changes the genetic makeup of dna, which can lead to increased risk of cancer. thus, the exposure of radiation dose should be under control and limited. ionizing radiation might lead to some chromosome aberrations like dicentric. there is a strong relation between the frequency of dicentric chromosome in metaphase, and the received dose....
