Dam Crack Image Detection Model on Feature Enhancement and Attention Mechanism

Image De-Noising and Micro Crack Detection of Solar Cells

Solar cell is known as a sustainable and environment friendly source of energy in nature. It converts sunlight directly into electricity with zero emission and also without side-effects on the environment. But, solar cells have optical and mechanical defects which include the type of micro crack, the size of crack, and the noise from electrical or electromechanical interference during the image...

Morphological Filtering for Image Enhancement and Feature Detection

Image Segmentation Based on Visual Attention Mechanism

A new approach for image segmentation based on visual attention mechanism is proposed. Motivated biologically, this approach simulates the bottom-up human visual selective attention mechanism, extracts early vision features of the image and constructs the saliency map. Multiple image features such as intensity, color and orientation in multiple scales are extracted to get some feature maps. The...

A novel underwater dam crack detection and classification approach based on sonar images

Underwater dam crack detection and classification based on sonar images is a challenging task because underwater environments are complex and because cracks are quite random and diverse in nature. Furthermore, obtainable sonar images are of low resolution. To address these problems, a novel underwater dam crack detection and classification approach based on sonar imagery is proposed. First, the...

Image Enhancement via Reducing Impairment Effects on Image Components

In this paper, a new approach is presented for improving image quality. It provides a new outlook on how to apply the enhancment methods on images. Image enhancement techniques may deal with the  illumination, resolution, or distribution of pixels values. Issues such as the illumination of the scene and reflectance of objects affect on image captures. Generally, the pixels value of an image is ...
