abstract- the evaluation of leaf area and leaf nutritional value is important for crop growth modeling and estimations of its performance. the purpose of this study was to use image processing techniques to develop an economical method to ease the assessment of nutrient status and leaf area (la) of plants and to compare the outcomes of this method with linear models. leaf area and leaf chloroph...

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,...

The logarithmic model offers new tools for image processing. An efficient method for image enhancement is to use an affine transformation with the logarithmic operations: addition and scalar multiplication. We define some criteria for automatically determining the parameters of the processing and this is done via mean and variance computed by logarithmic operations. keywords : logarithmic image...

Modern advancements in configurable hardware, most notably Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) have provided an exciting opportunity to discover the parallel nature of modern image processing algorithms. These configurable platforms provide the opportunity to implement parallel architecture to boost the performance of the inherently parallel image processing algorithms. This survey paper giv...

Recently, image processing technique and robotic vision are widely applied in fault detection of industrial products as well as document reading. In order to compare the captured images from the target, it is necessary to prepare a perfect image, then matching should be applied. A preprocessing must therefore, be done to correct the samples’ and or camera’s movement which can occur during the...

•Extending our previous work on visual keywords, we use the concept of template-based visual keywords using MPEG-7 color descriptors. MPEG-7, also called the Multimedia Content Description Interface, has been a standard for many years. These color descriptors have the ability to characterize perceptual color similarity and need relatively low complexity operations to extract them, besides being...

As day by day new computer technologies are emerging in the area of image processing, especially in the field of segmentation. Image Segmentation is a hotspot and important process of image processing. Several algorithms and techniques are developed for image segmentation. It is a technique of partitioning digital image into multiple regions called segments for further analysis. It is very usef...
