Abstract Impact of Corporate Reputation on Brand Segmentation Strategy : An Empirical Study from Iranian Pharmaceutical Companies The impact of corporate reputation uses, including value creation, corporate communication and strategic resources on branding strategies such as segmentation and producing intangible assets for different industries is investigated in western countr...

This paper presents, a hybrid method, low-resolution and high-resolution, for Persian page segmentation. In the low-resolution page segmentation, a pyramidal image structure is constructed for multiscale analysis and segments document image to a set of regions. By high-resolution page segmentation, by connected components analysis, each region is segmented to homogeneous regions and identifyi...

In this work, we investigate the potential of a recently proposed parameter learning algorithm for Conditional Random Fields (CRFs). Parameters of a pairwise CRF are estimated via a stochastic subgradient descent of a max-margin learning problem. We compared the performance of our brain tumor segmentation method using parameter learning to a version using hand-tuned parameters. Preliminary resu...

The pixels of an image are grouped into several regions for segmentation. In segmentation technique the texture feature parameter is an image analysis technique in the field of Computer vision. In the Segmentation field, there are many techniques are used to segment the images .The proposed approach is to analyze and compare the gray level texture feature techniques, number of clusters, Fuzzy C...

We propose a probabilistic segmentation scheme, which is widely applicable to some extend. Besides the segmentation itself our model incorporates object specific shading. Dependent upon application, the latter is interpreted either as a perturbation or as meaningful object characteristic. We discuss the recognition task for segmentation, learning tasks for parameter estimation as well as differ...

A new graph algorithm for multiscale segmentation of threedimensional medical data sets is presented. It is a threedimensional generalisation of an existing two-dimensional Mumford-Shah region-merging segmentation algorithm. The Mumford-Shah functional formulation leads to improved segmentation results compared to alternative approaches; the graph theoretic approach yields improved performance ...

background: laparoscopy or minimally invasive surgery is a surgical procedure in which laparoscope and other surgical instruments are inserted inside body via a few small incisions. laparoscope is used to look inside the patient's body and records displayed images. temporal segmentation of laparoscopic videos has many applications like detecting laparoscopic anomalies and interrupts. it is prer...

distribution of retinal blood vessels (rbvs) in retinal images has an important role in the prevention, diagnosis, monitoring and treatment of diseases, such as diabetes, high blood pressure, or heart disease. therefore, detection of the exact location of rbvs is very important for ophthalmologists. one of the frequently used techniques for extraction of these vessels is region growing-based se...

introduction: appropriate definition of the distance measure between diffusion tensors has a deep impact on diffusion tensor image (dti) segmentation results. the geodesic metric is the best distance measure since it yields high-quality segmentation results. however, the important problem with the geodesic metric is a high computational cost of the algorithms based on it. the main goal of this ...
