Mathematical Discontinuities in CIEDE2000 Color Difference Computations
We examine mathematical properties of the CIEDE2000 color difference formula and illustrate that the CIEDE2000 color difference is not a continuous function of the CIELAB color pairs between which the difference is calculated. Particularly, we illustrate that ambiguities in the computation of mean hue angle and hue angle differences of color pairs contribute to a discontinuity in the formula fo...
متن کاملEducation provision in wound care - does it make a difference?
In 1992 Bennett (1) carried out a UK based postal survey of 27 medical schools to determine how much teaching there was on wound care, the dismal truth was that very little wound care was included (from 19 responses 2 said definitely no teaching, 4 probably no teaching and the average amount was 6 hours). Almost 20 years later when there is widespread acknowledgement of the increasing number of...
متن کاملA FUZZY DIFFERENCE BASED EDGE DETECTOR
In this paper, a new algorithm for edge detection based on fuzzyconcept is suggested. The proposed approach defines dynamic membershipfunctions for different groups of pixels in a 3 by 3 neighborhood of the centralpixel. Then, fuzzy distance and -cut theory are applied to detect the edgemap by following a simple heuristic thresholding rule to produce a thin edgeimage. A large number of experime...
متن کاملMaternal health: does prenatal care make a difference?
This research attempts to close an important gap in health economics regarding the efficacy of prenatal care and policies designed to improve access to that care, such as Medicaid. We argue that a key beneficiary-- the mother-- has been left completely out of the analysis. If prenatal care significantly improves the health of the mother, then concluding that prenatal care is 'ineffective' or th...
متن کاملAuditing chronic disease care: Does it make a difference?
BACKGROUND An integrated audit tool was developed for five chronic diseases, namely diabetes, hypertension, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and epilepsy. Annual audits have been done in the Western Cape Metro district since 2009. The year 2012 was the first year that all six districts in South Africa's Western Cape Province participated in the audit process. AIM To determine whe...
