In this paper, a reliable method for detecting human faces in color images is proposed. This system firstly detects skin color in YCgCr and YIQ color space, then filters binary texture and the result is morphological processed, finally converts skin tone to the preferred skin color configured by users in YIQ color space. The real-time adjusting circuit is implemented and some of simulation resu...

  Objective: Selection of an appropriate shade of composite is critical in achieving an esthetic restoration. Different systems are used to assess and describe color parameters. This study aimed to assess the effect of color and thickness of Filtek Supreme (FS) and Premise (P) composite resins on correction of tooth discoloration.   Methods: In this in vitro experimental study, 10 anterior teet...

Printing with custom inks is useful for extending the gamut of printed images, for creating artistically appealing designs or for providing protection against counterfeiting (security documents). The basic colors we consider, consist of the custom inks, their superpositions and the white paper. Color separation for custom inks requires to determine the relative amounts of the basic colors allow...

The IRS-1D LISS III false colour composite (FCC) decoded imagery belonging to Kosi river watershed of Almora district of Uttaranchal under warm humid Lesser Himalayan agro-ecological region was interpreted and surveyed for soil resource mapping. On the basis of image interpretation and ground truth study ten physiographic units were identified. Soil physiography relationship was established on ...

Human face detection is a significant problem of image processing and is usually a first step for face recognition and visual surveillance. This paper presents the details of face detection approach that is implemented to achieve accurate face detection in group color images which are based on facial feature and Support Vector Machine. In the first step, the proposed approach quickly separates ...

Proper calculation of rice cultivation area well before harvest is critical for projecting yields and developing policies to assure food security. This research looks at how Remote Sensing (RS) Geographic Information System (GIS) can be used map fields in Palakkad district Kerala. The was delineated using three multi-temporal cloud free Sentinel-2 data with 10 m spatial resolution, matching cro...

ABSTRACT-Manual harvesting of saffron as a laborious and exhausting job; it not only raises production costs, but also reduces the quality due to contaminations. Saffron quality could be enhanced if automated harvesting is substituted. As the main step towards designing a saffron harvester robot, an appropriate algorithm was developed in this study based on image processing techniques to recogn...

In this paper a new method is introduced for root detection in minirhizotron images for root investigation. In this method firstly a hypothesis testing framework is defined to separate roots from background and noise. Then the correct roots are extracted by using an entropy-based geometric level set decision function. Performance of the proposed method is evaluated on real captured images in tw...

Abstract: The Urumieh-Dokhtar Magmatic Belt (UDMB) is the host of many Iranian Cu porphyry deposits. Southern part of this belt, in the range of geological Jebal barez, has been less investigated because of the mountainous and rough topography and also some security confrontation. Porphyry deposits are associated with hydrothermal alteration zones can be mapped using remote sensing data such as...
