Research in Medical Image Processing (MIP) is mainly driven by a technology-oriented point of view. However, as an application-oriented field, MIP research should always be able to give an answer to the question of what is the potential benefit of a solved MIP problem or a newly developed MIP-based system supporting a diagnostic or therapeutic process, in terms of outcome criteria like e.g. Qua...

chest radiography is a common diagnostic imaging test, which contains an enormous amount of information about a patient. however,its interpretation is highly challenging. the accuracy of the diagnostic process is greatly influenced by image processing algorithms;hence enhancement of the images is indispensable in order to improve visibility of the details. this paper aims at improving radiograp...

the license plate edge detection is the most important step of the process of plate identification. plate recognition system is an automated system that captures vehicle location, vehicle license plate accurately on various vehicles at different times of day and night sets. in this paper the issue of searching the exact location of the license plate from the input images using sobel operator fo...

while weeds in sugar beet farming reduce crop yield and quality, they also lead to higher labor and material losses. in recent years, in order to eliminate or reduce the damage caused by weeds in sugar beet farming, weed control has gained importance. to this end, various studies have been conducted on robotic weed control by detecting weeds using image processing algorithms and hoeing or spray...

recently, as the result of the development in modern imaging, computerized three dimensional data processing and advanced engineering techniques, an prosthesis that match the skeletal anatomy can be accurately designed from computer aided design (cad) technique and the physical model of prosthesis or skull replica can be produced through rapid prototyping (rp), rapid tooling (rt), and computer ...

conclusion various filters are needed to improve the image quality. in this study, seven different filters were implemented and investigated on both noisy and noise-free images. background developmental dysplasia of the hip (ddh) can be detected with ultrasonography (usg) images. however, the accuracy of this method is dependent on the skill of the radiologist. radiologists measure the hip join...

This study builds on Laufer and Hulstijn’s (2001) motivational-cognitive construct of task-induced involvement in learning vocabulary and addresses itself to its strong claim that the depth of processing is the overriding factor in learning words. The paper first re-examines the effect of processing load and then of task type on the initial learning and retention of words. To do so, 60 EFL lear...
