Fast online video analysis is currently a key issue for dynamic studies in biology; however, very few tools are available for these concerns. Here we present an ImageJ plug-in: HF_IDS_Cam, which allows for video capture at very high speeds using IDS...

In recent years, neutron radiography and tomography have been applied at different beam lines at Los Alamos Neutron Science Center (LANSCE), covering a very wide neutron energy range. The field of energy-resolved neutron imaging with epi-thermal neut...

This paper presents a comprehensive test of the principal tasks in document image analysis (DIA), starting with binarization, text line segmentation, and isolated character/glyph recognition, and continuing on to word recognition and transliteration...

Segmentation of regions of interest is an important pre-processing step in many colour image analysis procedures. Similarly, segmentation of plant objects in digital images is an important preprocessing step for effective phenotyping by image analysi...

Script identification is an essential step in document image processing especially when the environment is multi-script/multilingual. Till date researchers have developed several methods for the said problem. For this kind of complex pattern recognit...

The energy-dependence of the neutron cross section provides vastly different contrast mechanisms than polychromatic neutron radiography if neutron energies can be selected for imaging applications. In recent years, energy-resolved neutron imaging (ER...

Handwritten character recognition is currently getting the attention of researchers because of possible applications in assisting technology for blind and visually impaired users, human–robot interaction, automatic data entry for business documents,...

We hypothesize that machining grooves and ridges into the surface of radiata pine deck boards will change the pattern of strains that develop when profiled boards are exposed to wetting and drying. Two wavy profiles were tested, and flat unprofiled b...

In this paper, we improve the performance of the recently proposed Direct Query Classifier (dqc). The (dqc) is a classifier based retrieval method and in general, such methods have been shown to be superior to the OCR-based solutions for performing r...

Videos represent the primary source of information for surveillance applications. Video material is often available in large quantities but in most cases it contains little or no annotation for supervised learning. This article reviews the state-of-t...

Diagnostics and treatments of numerous diseases are highly dependent on the quality of captured medical images. However, noise (during both acquisition and transmission) is one of the main factors that reduce their quality. This paper proposes an ada...

This paper presents novel feature descriptors and classification algorithms for the automated scoring of HER2 in Whole Slide Images (WSI) of breast cancer histology slides. Since a large amount of processing is involved in analyzing WSI images, the p...

The theory of hierarchical image representations has been well-established in Mathematical Morphology, and provides a suitable framework to handle images through objects or regions taking into account their scale. Such approaches have increased in po...

Total variation (TV) is widely used in many image processing problems including the regularization of optical flow estimation. In order to deal with non differentiability of the TV regularization term, smooth approximations have been considered in th...

Recognizing texts in video is more complex than in other environments such as scanned documents. Video texts appear in various colors, unknown fonts and sizes, often affected by compression artifacts and low quality. In contrast to Latin texts, there...

In this work, through a phenomenological analysis, we studied the perception of the chromatic illusion and illusoriness. The necessary condition for an illusion to occur is the discovery of a mismatch/disagreement between the geometrical/physical dom...

This paper presents an investigation into the feasibility of using deep learning methods for developing arbitrary full spatial resolution regression analysis of B-mode ultrasound images of human skeletal muscle. In this study, we focus on full spatia...

Neutron radiography and tomography is a non-destructive method that provides detailed information about the internal structure of cultural heritage objects. The differences in the neutron attenuation coefficients of constituent elements of the studie...

Monochromatic documents claim for much less computer bandwidth for network transmission and storage space than their color or even grayscale equivalent. The binarization of historical documents is far more complex than recent ones as paper aging, col...

Re-identification systems aim at recognizing the same individuals in multiple cameras, and one of the most relevant problems is that the appearance of same individual varies across cameras due to illumination and viewpoint changes. This paper propose...
