In image processing area and segmentation algorithms based on thresholding, the intensity of the image (grayscale) is usually obtained in order to differentiate the regions of the objects and the background. The segmentation based on the threshold works well when the image has a high intensity in the contrast, this characteristic is key to make a good classification of the pixels. This document will...
This paper presents a guideline for application development to provide image object detection capability using “Aforge.NET Framework” in conjunction with C# language. In detecting the target object, image processing techniques such as Blob Counter and HSL Color space were used to distinguish the object from the background and determine the position of the target object on the image. This application...
The fast evolution of technology has led to a growing demand for multimedia data, increasing the amount of research into efficient systems to manage those materials. A lot of research has being done by the Content-Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) community in the field of images. Nowadays, they play a key role in digital applications. Thus, contextual integration of images with different sources is vital...
Over the last five years, a number of powerful robotics controllers have become available. Only a small percentage of these are suitable for general use in robotics. In particular, they trivially interface with a large variety of sensors and effectors, have a well constructed software IDE that works with a standard programming language, are self contained and are easy to use. The CBC2 is a new robot...
This research concerns a system, which is called Ubiquitous Multi-Processor (UMP) system, which constructs dataflow network dynamically by connecting function-specific execution modules. The software model of the system was developed consisting only of application-specific execution modules (SS-PE) providing fixed functions. We developed a general-purpose execution module (GP-PE) which performs equivalent...
The time-study data collected at the Station M site off the coast of central California includes high quality still-frame images taken in 1-hour time-lapse increments. The approximately 67,000 time-lapse images collected would take an unfeasible amount of time to fully analyze manually, and therefore would benefit from automated analysis. Towards this end, this work is an aid in the significant effort...
Nowadays, with the development of high quality graphical softwares, almost every presentation, in addition to text, contains some kind of images too. According to the presentation needs, different kinds of images are used by the presenters but different kinds of images needs different type of treatments which evolve the image categorization research. In our work we try to categorize images into two...
We have developed a browsing tool for visualizing information about geographic surfaces using map-based augmented reality (AR). Map-based AR technology enables virtual objects to be overlaid on an actual map, creating a tangible user interface. In map-based AR applications, a virtual lens pointer is often used for object selection. However, this type of interaction is difficult when there are many...
Building on the extensive research in Virtual Reality (VR), we are proposing a new dynamic prototype for modelling and simulating carbon emissions in a virtual village called VIRVIL. VIRVIL is a simulated settlement for the assessment of the impact of low and zero carbon technologies and measures in the built environment. The prototype will focus on the impact on the community as a whole, as well...
As libraries are the most widespread form of software reuse, the usability of their APIs substantially influences the productivity of programmers in all software development phases. In this paper we develop a framework to characterize domain-specific APIs along two directions: 1) how can the API users reference the domain concepts implemented by the API; 2) how are the domain concepts internally represented...
The trend over the past decade in computer science and computer engineering curricula has been to use computer graphics as a junior- or senior-level elective course focusing on 3-D graphics and data visualization. Alternatively, it is possible to develop a computer graphics course that can address core curricular needs beyond its obvious topical and algorithmic scope. The development of an interactive...
