An improved pixon-based method is proposed in this paper for image segmentation. In thisapproach, a wavelet thresholding technique is initially applied on the image to reduce noise and toslightly smooth the image. This technique causes an image not to be oversegmented when the pixonbasedmethod is used. Indeed, the wavelet thresholding, as a pre-processing step, eliminates theunnecessary details...

with quick development of digital images and the availability of imaging tools, massive amounts of images are created. therefore, efficient management and suitable retrieval, especially by computers, is one of themost challenging fields in image processing. automatic image annotation (aia) or refers to attaching words, keywords or comments to an image or to a selected part of it. in this paper,...

conclusion vr reconstruction for both single-direction images and sushi using dti25 raw data provides excellent 3d displays of the peripheral nerves in the wrist region. sushi post-processing is a useful denoising tool because it automatically reduces the majority of isotropic object noise. results single-direction vr reconstruction clearly showed the nerves for both dti6 and dti25 but with obv...

normal 0 false false false en-us x-none ar-sa digital breast tomosynthesis (dbt) is a technology that creates three dimensional (3d) images of breast tissue. tomosynthesis mammography detects lesions that are not detectable with other imaging systems. if image reconstruction time is in the order of seconds, we can use tomosynthesis systems to perform tomosynthesis-guided interventional procedur...

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...

Introduction: The image quality as well as film speed is influenced by the film processing conditions. Different combinations of films and processing methods affect the diagnostic accu-racy. Temperature and developer exhaustion result in different image quality. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the influence of film type and processing conditions on caries detec-tion.  Material a...

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 ...
