Plaque rupture in coronary vessels is one of the principal causes of sudden death in western societies. Reliable diagnostic tools are of great interest for physicians in order to detect and quantify vulnerable plaque in order to develop an effective treatment. To achieve this, a tissue classification must be performed. Intravascular Ultrasound (IVUS) represents a powerful technique to explore t...

Solar magnetic tornadoes are known to be one of the mass and energy transport mechanisms from the lower solar atmosphere into the upper layers of the solar corona. A bright spiral structure with two arms is observed using high-cadence EUV images of 171, 193 and 304 Ǻ channels of Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA) aboard the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) on 10th of July 2011 for three hours. ...

For UAV system only using the secondary data without the control of node data, the automatic image splicing and quickly correcting method is proposed based on the UAV image blocking of pseudo center point secondary data to realize the fast image splicing and correcting handling. SIFT algorithm is adopted for high accurate and high efficient automatic splicing; the pseudo center point of the sec...

This paper presents recent developments in data processing of multi-year repeat survey imagery and precision automatic registration for monitoring long-term changes in benthic marine habitats such as coral reefs and kelp forests. A method is presented for correcting underwater images for the effects of perspective-dependant lighting and attenuation in the water column. Additionally, two differe...

In this paper we present Document analysis and classification system to segment and classify contents of Arabic document images. This system includes preprocessing, document segmentation, feature extraction and document classification. A document image is enhanced in the preprocessing by removing noise, binarization, and detecting and correcting image skew. In document segmentation, an algorith...

Third-world women in western literature have often been depicted as submissive, illiterate, vulnerable, and having no identity. They are cast from the outside discourses, always entangled gaze of west being primitive. Yet world is open to change with viable feminist female practices enhance accurate exact image oe third-world women. Nadia Hashimi’s A House Without Windows a manifestation decons...

In this letter the performance of single burst-errorcorrecting (BEC) codes used over bursty channels is evaluated. The channel is represented by the Gilbert–Elliott (GE) model, which has been used by numerous authors to evaluate the performance of random-error-correcting (REC) codes over bursty channels. Recursive expressions are derived, which are used in evaluating the probability of a codewo...

In this paper we present our contribution to the MediaEval 2015 Retrieving Diverse Social Images Task which requested participants to provide methods for refining Flickr image retrieval results thus to increase their relevance and diversification. Our approach is based on re-ranking the original result, using a precomputed distance matrix and a spectral clustering scheme. We use color related v...

Analysis of handwritten word images is closely tied to the method of representing the images. Diierent representations have their own sets of advantages and disadvantages. In this paper, we propose a novel method of encoding handwritten images using vertical runs that signiicantly simpliies the implementation of several image-processing tasks pertaining to handwriting recognition. We demonstrat...
