Manual grading process of Fresh Fruit Bunch (FFB) leads to misconduct and human error while inspecting the right category of fruits for the purpose of oil palm production at the mill. It is extremely important to identify the degree of ripeness of FFB are at 95% level of confidence as mentioned by Malaysian Palm Oil Board (MPOB). Therefore, wrong evaluation of graded fruits will result wrong re...

In order to identify the perceived qualities of texture and color in a building mathematical models for object a optimized and efficient algorithm ‘A Fast HSV Image Color and Texture Detection Algorithm’ based on color intensity using Artificial Intelligence and fuzzy Logic is presented in this paper. We will be using color intensity method over conventional method. The ‘Fast HSV Image Color an...

The success of invasive species is frequently attributed to phenotypic plasticity, which facilitates persistence in novel environments. Here we report on experimental tests to determine whether the intensity of cryptic coloration patterns in a global invader (brown trout, Salmo trutta) was primarily the result of plasticity or heritable variation. Juvenile F1 offspring were created through expe...

Despite the efficiency of gallium nitride (GaN)-based blue light-emitting diodes (LEDs), the light extraction arising from the packaging of the phosphor remains an important issue when enhancing the performance of dichromatic white LEDs. In this study, we employed a simple, inexpensive nanoimprinting process to increase both the light extraction efficiency and color rendering of dichromatic whi...

Color-deficient observers are often confronted with problems in daily life due to the fact that some colors appear less differentiable than for normal sighted people. So-called daltonization methods have been proposed to increase color contrast for color-deficient people. We propose two methods for better daltonization solutions by Spatial Intensity Channel Replacement Daltonization (SIChaRDa)....

pomegranate (punica granatum) is an important fruit crop cultivated for fruit and processing in the iran. delaying fruit harvest of pomegranate may increase fruit losses due to fruit cracking; however, early harvest may influence physical and biochemical indices of fruit. an experiment was carried out in 2011 at ‘baghmalek’ (north west of ahwaz, khuzestan province, iran) to determine the effect...

Shadow detection is of broad interest in computer vision. In this article, a new shadow detection method for single color images in outdoor scenes is proposed. Shadows attenuate pixel intensity, and the degrees of attenuation are different in the three RGB color channels. Previously, we proposed the Tricolor Attenuation Model (TAM) that describes the attenuation relationship between shadows and...

When skin areas like faces and hands are imaged under natural environments their color appearance is frequently affected by variations in illumination intensity and chromaticity. In color-based skin tracking and detection, changing intensity is often dismissed either with the use of normalized, intensity-invariant color coordinates or by additionally modeling possible skin intensities. Chromati...

Introduction: Discoloration of resin composites is a common reason for replacement of these restorations. The aim of this study was to eva-luate the influence of different light curing de-vices on color stability of a microhybrid resin composite.  Materials and Methods: 80 disc-shaped speci-mens (8 mm in diameter, 2-mm height) were fabricated from filtek Z250 resin composite. Specimens wer...

Bacteria Foraging Optimization a nature-inspired optimization has drawn the attention of researchers because of its efficiency in solving real-world optimization problems arising in several application domains. Color image quantization is an important process of representing true color images using a small number of colors. Existing color reduction techniques tend to alter image color structure...
