Detection of Line Junctions in Gray-Level Images

چکیده
This paper describes an efficient approach for the detection of line junctions in gray-level images. The algorithm is divided into two steps. First, given the lines extracted from the original image, local line curvature is estimated. For this purpose, two different measures of curvature are proposed: The rate of change of direction of the orientation vector along the line and the mean of the dot products of orientation vectors within a given neighborhood. The second step involves the localization of junctions. Examples are provided based on experiments with synthetic and real

متن کاملA New Algorithm for Skin Lesion Border Detection in Dermoscopy Images
Background: With advances in medical imaging systems, digital dermoscopy has become one of the major imaging modalities in the analysis of skin lesions. Thus, automated segmentation or border detection has a great impact on the subsequent steps of skin cancer computer-aided diagnosis using demoscopy images. Since dermoscopy images suffer from artifacts such as shading and hair, there is a need ...
متن کاملEvaluation of gray scale changes of CBCT system images in different axis using the DICOM file
The images of dental CBCT imaging systems used in conic shaped beams, stored in the DICOM format, have various applications in the dentistry, including bone density estimation to select the location of the orthodontic implant, bone loss detection and etc. In these systems, unlike CT imaging systems, the resulting images exhibit gray-scale non-uniformity in each of the different axis in FOV. Thi...
متن کاملImage 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...
متن کاملDetection and Segmentation of Erythrocytes in Blood Smear Images Using a Line Operator and Watershed Algorithm
Most of the erythrocyte related diseases are detectable by hematology images analysis. At the first step of this analysis, segmentation and detection of blood cells are inevitable. In this study, a novel method using a line operator and watershed algorithm is rendered for erythrocyte detection and segmentation in blood smear images, as well as reducing over-segmentation in watershed algorithm t...
