Inspection of food quality is an important operation in food and agro industries. Nowadays computer vision is frequently used for such operations as it can provide fast, economical, non-invasive, consistent and objective assessment. This paper presents a study on identifying the qualitative grades of rice bran using computer vision. The study is performed using three samples of rice bran collected...
Color and texture have been proven to be very discriminant attributes in image analysis across many works. This paper proposes a color texture analysis method based on the graph theory, in which we convert the texture in question into an undirected weighted graph and explore the shortest paths between four pairs of pixels according to different scales and orientations of the image. Basically, we extend...
Traffic sign recognition (TSR) represents an important feature of advanced driver assistance systems, contributing to the safety of the drivers, pedestrians and vehicles as well. Developing TSR systems requires the use of computer vision techniques, which could be considered fundamental in the field of pattern recognition in general. Despite all the previous works and research that has been achieved,...
One of the promising new directions for Content Based Video Retrieval is object based retrieval which allows the user to manipulate video object as a part of searching and browsing. The major obstacle for the use of objects in video retrieval is the appropriate representation of objects in video database. The purpose of this work is to present an object based framework consisting of entire processing...
In the field of video-based fire detection, traditional fire color models have poor adaptability and susceptibleness to environmental interference. As fire can be divided into fire core, inner fire and outer fire layers depending on its temperature and color, a new fire detection model based on dispersion of fire color components has been proposed by the author. In order to further reduce false alarm,...
Hand gesture recognition is highly valued for its potential applications in contactless human-computer interaction (HCI). Aiming at the problem that the gesture recognition system based on ordinary camera is susceptible to different lighting conditions and complex background environment, an improved algorithm based on depth image for fingertip detection and gesture recognition is proposed. Firstly,...
Recent work in terrain recognition for outdoor mobile robots mainly focused on several typical pure terrain sample classification, and only one terrain feature is extracted for terrain sample description. In this paper, a segmentation scheme for complex terrain samples is designed for the terrain recognition process. The segmentation scheme is achieved using the graph segmentation followed by the...
Semantic parsing of large-scale 3D point clouds is an important research topic in computer vision and remote sensing fields. Most existing approaches utilize hand-crafted features for each modality independently and combine them in a heuristic manner. They often fail to consider the consistency and complementary information among features adequately, which makes them difficult to capture high-level...
Face detection is already incorporated in many biometrics and surveillance applications. Therefore, the reduction of false detections is a priority in those systems. However, face detection is still challenging. Many factors, such as pose variation and complex backgrounds, contribute to false detections. Besides, the fidelity of a true detection, measured by precision rate, is a concern in content-based...
Leukemia is a worldwide disease. In this paper we demonstrate that it is possible to build an automated, efficient and rapid leukemia diagnosis system. We demonstrate that it is possible to improve the precision of current techniques from the literature using the description power of well-known Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs). We extract features from a blood smear image using pre-trained CNNs...
This paper presents a new technique to solve the single image super resolution reconstruction problem based on multiple extreme learning machine regressors, called here MELM. The MELM employs a feature space of low resolution images, divided in subspaces, and one regressor is trained for each one. In the training task, we employ a color dataset containing 91 images, with approximately 5.3 million...
Retrieving images depend of specific features In Content Based Image Retrieval (CBIR). A common approach is to divide retrieval process into two stages; the first one is based on high-level features followed by the second that is based on low-level features. We focus primarily on medical images, and follow the above approach but make the following two basic contributions: a) introduce the gray cluster...
The quality of life of people is increasing together with the developing technologies. One of the most important factors affecting daily life is smart cities. The quality of life of people is positively affected by emerging this concept in recent years. Autonomous vehicles confront with the term of the smart city and have become even more popular in recent years. In this study, a system of traffic...
Nowadays, merchandising is one of the significant method which allows to increase the sales. Therefore, activities such as monitoring the number of products on the shelves, completing the missing products and matching the planogram continuously have become important. An autonomous system is needed to automate operations such as product or brand recognition, stock tracking and planogram matching. In...
The human brain is able to rapidly understand scenes through the recognition of their composing elements and comprehension of the role that each of them plays. This process, related to human perception, impacts in what people care when they see an image and the priority they give to each element. The idea of priority, also referred as importance, is based on biological features of perception and social...
The frequent occurrence of road congestion and traffic accidents has affected people's travel efficiency and travel safety. Traffic sign recognition has become one of the key research objects in intelligent transportation system. This paper studies the identification of road traffic signs based on video images. First of all, collected image will be image preprocessing with image reduction, brightness...
Potato as the fourth largest staple food in China, The external defect detection directly affects the industrialization of potato and deep processing. As the currently domestic testing method are mostly based on specific circumstances, specific light, which does not satisfy the testing requirements of actual environment. Therefore, this paper presents a non-destructive method for the study of green,...
Smart human tracking systems based on surveillance camera are very popular recently. For example, retailers and museums use head counting to analyze the consumer statistics. This paper proposed an approach to detect multiple heads, which can be applied in smart human tracking system. The computing resource of this kind of applications is so high that it is not applicable in embedded platforms. So,...
Digital image processing techniques are commonly employed for food classification in an industrial environment. In this paper, we propose the use of supervised learning methods, namely multi-class support vector machines and artificial neural networks to perform classification of different type of almonds. In the process of defining the feature vectors, the proposed method has relied on the principal...
Technological advances in digitization with a variety of image manipulation techniques enable the creation of printed documents illegally. Correspondingly, many researchers conduct studies in determining whether the document printed counterfeit or original. This study examines the several statistical feature sets from Gray Level Co-occurrence Matrix (GLCM), Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT), Spatial...
