Technical note: A new automated radiolarian image acquisition, stacking, processing, segmentation and identification workflow

Emulation, Model Identification and New-approach Characterization of a PV Panel (TECHNICAL NOTE)

This paper provides experimental and simulation tools to characterize a Photo-Voltaic (PV) panel. To achieve this objective, we start from a PV electrical model and we propose a circuit using Diode-based-equivalent PV (DBEPV) panel. This circuit is presented as a prototype of an equivalent PV panel. It is designed to emulate a real PV module in different climatic conditions (irradiance and temp...

Image Segmentation using Improved Imperialist Competitive Algorithm and a Simple Post-processing

Image segmentation is a fundamental step in many of image processing applications. In most cases the image’s pixels are clustered only based on the pixels’ intensity or color information and neither spatial nor neighborhood information of pixels is used in the clustering process. Considering the importance of including spatial information of pixels which improves the quality of image segmentati...

A New Algorithm for Automated Image Registration Using Multiscale Segmentation

Identification of Technical Journals by Image Processing Techniques

The emphasis of this study is put on developing an automatic approach to identifying a given unknown technical journal from its cover page. Since journal’s cover pages contain a great deal of information, determining the title of an unknown journal using optical character recognition techniques seems difficult. Comparing the layout structures of text blocks on the journals’ cover pages is an ef...

An Automated MR Image Segmentation System Using Multi-layer Perceptron Neural Network

Background: Brain tissue segmentation for delineation of 3D anatomical structures from magnetic resonance (MR) images can be used for neuro-degenerative disorders, characterizing morphological differences between subjects based on volumetric analysis of gray matter (GM), white matter (WM) and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), but only if the obtained segmentation results are correct. Due to image arti...
