Delving into the Whorl of Flower Segmentation

We describe an algorithm for automatically segmenting flowers in colour photographs. This is a challenging problem because of the sheer variety of flower classes, the intra-class variability, the variation within a particular flower, and the variability of imaging conditions – lighting, pose, foreshortening etc. The method couples two models – a colour model for foreground and background, and a...

After years of fi ts and starts, the often stalled but always prodigious machinery of the dryeye pipeline appears to be moving forward. Thanks to improvements in designing clinical trials, monitoring patients’ signs and symptoms and evaluating the performance of therapeutic agents, a number of drugs are making their way through the clinical trial process. These agents include new mucomimetics, ...
