In this paper, a new method to segment the blastocyst images in JPEG compressed domain is proposed. We exploit valuable features of a DCT transform to automate the segmentation process in a blastocyst image. A two layer feedforward backpropagation neural network is trained using the derived features of DCT coefficients of JPEG images to learn the characteristics of blastocyst different components...
Recently cloud computing has gained enormous attention in the industry with an increasing number of cloud service providers. Their tendency to cloud computing is of benefit for cloud users, as the increasing number of cloud providers results in a competitive market for attracting and satisfying new and current cloud users.
