The particle size distribution (PSD) of a dispersed phase is a fundamental geometrical characteristic that needs to be determined from digital images for many industrial processes involving a multiphase flow. Nevertheless, when dealing with 2-D images, only the projections of the particles are visualized and therefore the particles can overlap each other. In this way, this paper aims to develop and...
Traffic Sign Recognition (TSR) system is a significant component of Intelligent Transport System (ITS) as traffic signs assist the drivers to drive more safely and efficiently. This paper represents a new approach for TSR system using hybrid features formed by two robust features descriptors, named Histogram Oriented Gradient(HOG) features and Speeded Up Robust Features(SURF) and artificial neural...
This paper introduces a polygon-based method for removing overlaps of printed circuit board (PCB) pattern with circular-arc. The algorithm takes a sequence of object contours in Gerber files which consist of circular-arc polygons (i.e., polygons that have straight or circular boundary edges) in a plane as input, and outputs high quality and non-overlapping layouts. Instead of combining circular-arc...
Active one-shot scanning techniques have been widely used for various applications. Stereo-based active one-shot scanning embeds a positional information regarding the image plane of a projector onto a projected pattern to retrieve correspondences entirely from a captured image. Many combinations of patterns and decoding algorithms for active one-shot scanning have been proposed. If the capturing...
3D-point set registration is an active area of research in computer vision. In recent years, probabilistic registration approaches have demonstrated superior performance for many challenging applications. Generally, these probabilistic approaches rely on the spatial distribution of the 3D-points, and only recently color information has been integrated into such a framework, significantly improving...
The Paper work presents an approaches to classify chilli class from their bulk sample chilli images using RGB and HSI and L∗a∗b Model colour features. A rule based algorithm is implemented taking into account, best RGB, HSI and L∗a∗b colour features, 9 colour features were computed for R-(red), G-(green), B-(Blue), H-(hue), S-(saturation), I-(intensity), L-(brightness), a-(chromaticity layer red&green),...
Plants are considered as one of the greatest assets in the field of Indian Science of Medicine called Ayurveda. Some plants have its medicinal values apart from serving as the source of food. The innovation in the allopathic medicines has degraded the significance of these therapeutic plants. People failed to have their medications at their door step instead went behind the fastest cure unaware of...
Development of an automated system for identifying and classifying different diseases of the contaminated plants is an emerging research area in precision agriculture. Identification of the diseases is the key to prevent qualitative and quantitative loss of agricultural yields. Rice (Oryza Sative) is one of the essential crops in India and losses due to the diseases badly impact the economy. Manual...
Recognition of fruits automatically using machine vision is considered as challenging task as fruits exist in various colors, sizes, shapes and textures. Additionally, when images are acquired of them, variation is introduced due to imaging conditions also. In this paper we have recognized nine different classes of fruits. Fruit image dataset are obtained from web as well as certain images are acquired...
We address the problem of hole filling in RGB-D (color and depth) images, obtained from either active or stereo based sensing, for the purposes of object removal and missing depth estimation. This is performed independently on the low frequency depth information (surface shape) and the high frequency depth detail (relief) by way of a Fourier space transform and classical Butterworth high/low pass...
We propose a new approach to segmenting a hand accurately from a single depth image. Given a depth image, we extract first a rough hand region of interest (RoI) including a hand and a part of an arm. Then, the RoI is partitioned into triangles by using a constrained Delaunay triangulation (CDT) approach from which hand segmentation proposals are generated. Each segmentation proposal is evaluated by...
Various soft biometric traits have been used as hints in forensic investigation. Tattoo, as one of those soft biometric traits, has been used extensively because it is easy to be remembered and described by witnesses and appears very often among criminals and victims. Most of the tattoo retrieval systems currently used in police departments are still text-based systems. They depend on labels tagged...
Colour, texture, shape, and relative position descriptors are fundamental visual descriptors. In particular, a relative position descriptor is a quantitative representation of the relative position of two spatial objects, and a basis from which models of spatial relationships (like inside, above, around, near) can be derived. The affine properties of visual descriptors have been the subject of much...
Superpixel decomposition methods are generally used as a pre-processing step to speed up image processing tasks. They group the pixels of an image into homogeneous regions while trying to respect existing contours. For all state-of-the-art superpixel decomposition methods, a trade-off is made between 1) computational time, 2) adherence to image contours and 3) regularity and compactness of the decomposition...
Traffic panels contain rich text and symbolic information for transportation and scene understanding. Fast detection of traffic panels facilitates text information extraction but has been paid little attention by the community. In this paper, we propose a fast and robust approach for rectangular traffic panel detection from traffic scene images. Considering the rectangular shape of traffic panels,...
Traffic Sign Recognition (TSR) system is a vital component of intelligent transport system. It plays an important role by enhancing the safety of the drivers, pedestrians and vehicles as traffic signs provide important information of the traffic environment of the road and assist the drivers to drive more safely and easily by guiding and warning. This paper represents road sign detection and recognition...
Sparse decomposition has been widely used for different applications, such as source separation, image classification and image denoising. This paper presents a new algorithm for segmentation of an image into background and foreground text and graphics using sparse decomposition. First, the background is represented using a suitable smooth model, which is a linear combination of a few smoothly varying...
Grabcut is an efficient image segmentation technique which facilitates easy user interaction by locating a rectangular bounding box to include the foreground objects. However, when the foreground objects exhibit similar colors to that of the background, it often fail to work to accurately classify the pixels within the interior region of the bonding box. In this paper, we propose an adaptive region...
Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) is one of the leading causes of blindness amongst the working age population. The presence of microaneurysms (MA) in retinal images is a pathognomonic sign of DR. In this work we have presented a novel combination of algorithms applied to a public dataset for automated detection of MA in colour fundus images of the retina. The proposed technique first detects an initial set...
To achieve the goal of frontal vehicle detection in night-driving condition, we propose an effective method to detect the red taillights of vehicles. The challenge is that the taillight images captured with automatic exposure typically are overexposed, which makes red color segmentation often erroneous. Instead of customizing the camera hardware to tackle this problem, we combine morphological and...
