This paper proposes a new method for melasma pigmentary area segmentation utilizing re action-diffusion based level set model (RDLSM) together with local entropy thresholding. In the adopted level set model, a diffusion term is used to regularize the level set function while a reaction term with anticipated sign property is used to force the zero level set towards desired locations. Then local entropy...
In this paper, we propose an improved fuzzy enhancement algorithm for the moving object detection and tracking. A new membership function is proposed based on the theory of fuzzy sets, which improves the traditional Pal-King fuzzy enhancement algorithm and overcomes the loss of gray information after the processing of enhancement. Since a gray image with multiple targets need more than one crossover...
This paper presents a computer vision-based method to automatically detect concrete cracks. We focus on images containing the concrete: background and crack, where the background is the major mode of the gray-scale histogram. Therefore, we address the detection problem of potential concrete cracks by dealing with histogram thresholding to extract regions of interests from the background. We first...
In this paper, an image-based segmentation method to improve autonomous robot navigation in the forest is presented. The detection is supported by a filtered image generated from a stereo-based pre-processing which is a byproduct of our obstacles detection system. To cope with the large variability of forest paths, the classifier is dynamically adapted to the current situation and the segmentation...
The development of a fully automated robotic endoscopic steering system has been an active area of research for more than a decade. This paper aims at proposing a hardware-efficient iterative thresholding strategy to locate the lumen region in captured endoscopic images in order to enhance traditional endoscopes with certain degree of autonomy and intelligence. The proposed method is characterized...
Body part segmentation and detection in videos is a useful analysis for many computer vision tasks such as action recognition and video search. Conventional methods mainly focus on body part detection assuming upright posture of the human body. Recently, a body part detection framework was proposed to include non-upright postures. This method consists of 2 parts, initial segmentation and computation...
