Recommending points of interests (POIs) is drawing more attention to meet the growing demand for tours. A POI's quality (sightseeing value) estimation is one of the important challenges. In contrast to conventional studies of ranking POIs based on user behavior analysis, in this paper, we propose methods of quality estimation by analyzing geosocial images. Our approach estimates the sightseeing value...
A system to detect macfouling and microfouling on the ship hull is always challenging. The proposed system uses computer vision to analyze types and amount of fouling on the hull for subsequent analysis. The graphical-user-interface in a mobile microprocessor can be accessed and remotely controlled using platforms such as Windows and Android phone. Experiments have been tested on 40 different fouling...
Plants are vital to the health of our biosphere, and effectively sustaining their growth is fundamental to the existence of life on this planet. A critical aspect, which decides the sustainability of plant growth is the quality of soil. All other things being fixed, the quality of soil greatly impacts the plant stress, which in turn impacts overall health. Although plant stress manifests in many ways,...
We present in this paper a single image dehazing method which is based on one dimensional linear filter. The objective of this research is to defog any type of foggy problem by using our algorithm, based on mean enhancement methodology and adaptive histogram equalization method. We are using YCbCr model in our work. The luminance image is used to remove the fog and showing the clear image objects...
Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) deals with the decomposition of general matrices which has proven to be useful for numerous applications in science and engineering disciplines. In this paper the method of SVD has been applied to mid-level digital image processing. SVD transforms a given matrix into three different matrices, which in other words, means refactoring the digital image into three matrices...
Identifying disease from the images of the plant is one of the interesting research areas in computer and agriculture field. This paper presents a survey of different image processing and machine-learning techniques used in the identification of rice plant diseases based on images of disease infected rice plants. This paper presents not only survey of various techniques but also concisely discusses...
An improved method for visibility enhancement of foggy based degraded images is presented. Proposed technique consists of two phases: firstly applied the visibility enhancement algorithm and then automatic color enhancement algorithm. Quantitative metric and qualitative result of proposed technique is evaluated and compared with other existing visibility restoration algorithms. In this paper quantitative...
Edge detection is considered as one of the most commonly used operations in image processing and pattern recognition, the reason for this is that edges form the outline of an object. From this perspective, more developed edge detectors have been proposed to allow not only to detect boundaries but also try to connect neighbor in edge points into an edge. In this work, we explore the method of edge...
With its single cell sensitivity over volumes as large as or larger than a mouse, cryo-imaging enables imaging of stem cell biodistribution, homing, engraftment, and molecular mechanisms. We developed and evaluated a highly automated software tool to detect fluorescently labeled stem cells within very large cryo-imaging datasets. Cell detection steps are: preprocess, remove immaterial...
This paper addresses Visio and path following control problem of a nonholonomic Two-Wheeled Inverted Pendulum Mobile Robot. We propose control architecture based on two control layers. A speed inner loop control scheme is first designed based on state feedback technique to ensure stability of the inverted structure of the robot. A second outer loop control scheme is proposed to help the robot navigate...
This paper proffers an application in order to expedite easy and innate way to find the medicine for the visually impaired people and to take it according to their Doctor's prescription. Visually impaired people need not be dependent and seek others help to find the medicine to be taken. This android application is used to overcome the difficulties they face in this scenario. In this application,...
This paper presents a vision-based SCARA (Selective Compliance Assembly Robot Arm) system for Spanner Fetching and Placing, which can be applied in the traditional factories. The proposed SCARA discussed in this paper has about 50 cm working ranges, and contains 4 degrees of freedom. It is designed in a low cost way. Except for the motors, all the materials of the component is plastic and aluminum...
Digital image processing is an important part of prepress design, is the visual communication professional students need to master the skills, practical subject provides a feasible technology platform to the students to master the prepress design and understand the technology of printing. Take the practice case of digital image processing in book design as an example, to compare the difference of...
Beauty industry has become one of the largest growth industries. The most famous service for beauty clinic is acne treatment. The first process of acne treatment is acne counting and classification which is manually done by dermatologist. In this paper, an automatic acne detection system was proposed and developed as an acne detection device. The system acquired facial image of the patient via web...
The quality and freshness of a fish sample is mainly affected due to the handling and storage conditions during the post harvesting period. The retention time and storage medium are the two main factors affecting the fish quality. This paper presents an image processing based method for automatic and efficient segmentation of gills from the fish sample image which can be used for fish freshness validation...
Computer vision involves image processing which has the use of various algorithms for text extraction as an integral part. This paper delves into the use of filtering based thresholding on HSV plane which serves as a common tool for text extraction in manuscripts as well as inscriptions. The basic and simple technique proposed has provided positive results for various images as compared to the other...
Object detection is a well-researched technology related to computer vision(CV) and image processing that deals with detecting instances of semantic objects of a certain class (such as humans, buildings, or cars) in digital images and videos. It has got some real-world applications such as smart-home automation, etc. Detection of a particular object by the computer's camera is an important aspect...
Tongue diagnosis is an auxiliary, effective and non-invasive technique to evaluate the condition of a patient's internal organ in traditional East Asian medicine. The diagnosis process relies on expert's opinion based on visual inspection of colour, substance, coating, form and motion of the tongue. This work explores the computational complexity of image processing techniques to analyse chromatic...
In this paper, the automatic system is designed for identification of Indian currency notes and check whether it is fake or original. The automatic system is very useful in banking system and other field also. In India increase in the counterfeit currency notes of 100, 500 and 1000 rupees. As increase in the technology like scanning, colour printing and duplicating because of that there is increase...
In this paper an adaptive algorithm to detect arena of a soccer robot, and the position, role and orientation of robots are proposed. Adaptive edge detection using Otsu's method is used in arena detection and adaptive color segmentation using Histogram is utilized in robot detection. The proposed method is shown to be able to detect arena and robots in dynamic environment. The experiment results show...
