the goal of this study was to predict the moisture content of paddy using machine vision and artificial neural networks (anns). the grains were dried as thin layer with air temperatures of 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, and 80°c and air velocities of 0.54, 1.18, 1.56, 2.48 and 3.27 ms-1. kinetics of l*a*b* were measured. the air temperature, air velocity, and l*a*b* values were used as ann inputs. the res...

rust caused by phakopsora pachyrhizi syd. is a major constraint to soybean product in asia. early detection and possibilities of controlling plant diseases by the integration of several image processing methods has been the subject of extensive research. the main contribution of this paper is to present different methodologies for quantitatively detecting soybean rust at each stage of disease d...

SURF is one of the most robust local invariant feature descriptors. SURF is implemented mainly for gray images. However, color presents important information in the object description and matching tasks as it clearly in the human vision system. Many objects can be unmatched if their color contents are ignored. To overcome this drawback this paper proposed a method CSURF (Color SURF) that combin...

Saliency regions attract more human’s attention than other regions in an image. Low- level and high-level features are utilized in saliency region detection. Low-level features contain primitive information such as color or texture while high-level features usually consider visual systems. Recently, some salient region detection methods have been proposed based on only low-level features or hig...

This paper demonstrates design and fabrication o f a mechatronic system for human drowsiness detection. This system can be used in multiple places. For example, in factories, it is used on some dangerous machinery and in cars in order t o prevent the operator o r driver from falling asleep. This system is composed of three parts: (1) mechanical, (2) electrical and (3) image processing system. A...

A color quantization method is proposed. The method hierarchically uses a bisection tool that preserves certain color-distribution features. The preserved features are average color, variance in each color dimension, and average color radius. An algorithm is given that includes the histogram simpli"cation procedure, color palette generation, and pixel mapping. Experiments show that the proposed...
