Underwater images are difficult to process because of low contrast and color distortion. The in-water light propagation model was proposed several years ago but is relatively complicated to be used in reality. In this paper, the full underwater light propagation model is simplified to be used as the transmission model. On the basis of this model, we propose a new method, called maximum attenuation...
Assessment of aging civil infrastructure should be done periodically to getting information about the structural condition. In context to it, classification, detection, and localization of cracks within these concrete structures is of paramount importance. The most commonly used procedure, i.e. visual inspection, is executed manually by human inspectors, and thus, its accuracy depends on personnel's...
This work details Visio and path following control system of a non-holonomic Two-Wheeled Mobile Robot. We present a control algorithm based on two control blocs. A speed inner loop regulation is first studied based on state feedback theorem to ensure stability of the structure. A second outer loop regulation is proposed to enable the robot navigate along a desired destination presented as a set of...
This research aims to reduce the amount of contaminated grain, people's mistakes, and the cost of imported machinery. Using the principles of image processing, such as Extract Color Plane, Manual Threshold, and Morphology can sort out the grain identity, characteristics, and number of the grain.
In this paper a new approach for image processing technique of different resolutions and size was developed. The method was implemented on specially built experimental setup and utilizing the Python software with its special libraries such as scikit-image. The developed method was tested on series of images of different resolutions (640×480, 1280×720, 1920×1080, 2592×1944). The results of its implementation...
In the field of Image processing, to be more specific new technologies are emerging in the domain of segmentation. This is because the new change that has taken place in computer processing application using color images hence color image segmentation is a kind of interest for the recent researchers. In image segmentation, color space plays a vital role. Different types of color space are RGB, HSV,...
Grape constitutes one of the most widely grown fruit crop in the India. Manual observation of experts is used in practice for detection of leaf diseases, which takes more time for further control action. Without accurate disease diagnosis, proper control actions cannot be taken at appropriate time. This is where modern agriculture technique is required to detect and prevent the leaf from different...
Surveillance denotes close observation and monitoring of behavior, activities, or other dynamic information, of people or objects for the purpose of influencing, managing, directing, or protecting them. With advancement in technology and emerging of various intelligent prediction techniques, it has now become possible to imbibe the traditional video surveillance with intelligence to identify or take...
The iris scan is an automatic biometric identification method that uses image processing techniques and pattern recognition, however, the pattern presented in the iris can provide useful information for other fields not yet explored such as iridology. In this paper we describe an application for scanning the iris through mobile devices without the need to use special cameras, using the resources of...
The seed germination test is an important process for successful farming. This process is time-consumed and needed to be done by an expert. In this paper, the image processing method is applied to measure a germination rate. The proposed method used a digital camera to capture the rice image, the root and seed sections are segmented using the HSV color model. The seed that has root attached is considered...
Cinnamon cultivation is the main income source of a set of areas in Sri Lanka. Peeling cinnamon is a complex task of the cinnamon harvesting process after identifying the matured cinnamon trees. Expertise knowledge is essential to identify matured trees using the traditional method. Otherwise, it may cause the wastage of cinnamon, by cutting immature cinnamon trees. This research addresses the automated...
Camouflaging of twofold images is necessary while information's are communication through image. Technology brings the communication easier, most of the communication today through open network, for this threats also increased frequently. This paper brings the new technique called flow code procedure technique. Given binary image converted into text representation and encrypted using flow code procedure...
Agriculture industry is one of the main economic activities in Asean countries. The activities involved a lot of crop planting and yield production in paddy, rubber, oil palm and so forth. Meanwhile in Malaysia, paddy is the third most widely planted crop after oil palm and rubber. Rice, produced by paddy, is considered to be one of Malaysia and Asean staple food and cereal crops. Due to its importance,...
Escherichia coli (E. coli) bacteria is one of the major biological contaminant of water in developing countries. According to WHO nearly 4 billion cases of diarrhoea and 2.2 million deaths in developing countries is because of E. coli. chlorination is an effective and scalable way of decontaminating and making water potable. The correct amount of chlorination is crucial; under-chlorination does not...
In today's competitive markets, industries have to focus on quality of their products to retain their competitive edge. Automatic Optical Inspection (AOI) or Automated Visual Inspection (AVI) is one commonly used tool used in the industry for quality control and monitoring. In high speed mass production units, the inspection time available for each product is small and it becomes a critical design...
Groundwater contamination by Arsenic is a huge problem in many countries. In a developing country like Bangladesh, with widespread Arsenic contamination and lack of laboratory facilities, usually field detection kits are preferred to detect arsenic in tubewells. However, these kits produce a significant number of false positives/negatives due to human errors in matching the detection test-strip colors...
Urine is waste that must be discharged from living bodies. In the medical field, urine is very useful for analyzing and curing diseases. The kidneys extract waste from the blood. Urinalysis is used to determine and inspect urinary function and system. This research developed an analytical System for a Urine Strip Test Using Image Processing to compare among human eyes and Urine automated with 100...
Foot pressure measurement is necessary for classifying disorders of the foot and designing insole for individual person. This present work uses optical sensor (webcam) to capture the foot-pressure image. Image processing on Raspberry Pi with OpenCV library is applied to process image and color coding corresponding to foot pressure. The hardware system uses the transparent acrylic plate and uses the...
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...
Recently, pathological diagnosis plays a crucial role in many areas of medicine, and some researchers have proposed many models and algorithms for improving classification accuracy by extracting excellent feature or modifying the classifier. They have also achieved excellent results on pathological diagnosis using tongue images. However, pixel values can't express intuitive features of tongue images...
