Hough Transform-based Technique for Automated Carbon Nanocone Segmentation
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new technique to automatically segment the L-shaped carbon nanocone structures from Transmission Electronic Microscopy (TEM) images is described. The technique enables robust segmentation of the structures by exploiting a simplified Generalized Hough Transform (HT)-based processing. Exploitation of parallelism on commodity hardware is also explored for efficient processing. Effectiveness of the technique is evaluated through experiments on synthetic, simulated, and real images of carbon nanocone structures.

Detection of Microaneurysms in Retinal Angiography Images Using the Circular Hough Transform
This paper presents an automated method for detecting microaneurysms in the retinal angiographic images by using image processing techniques. In the presented method, in order to fade or remove the pseudo images, first retinal images are pre-processed. Then microaneurysms are identified by circular Hough transform. In the existing methods of dete...

متن کاملIris localization by means of adaptive thresholding and Circular Hough Transform
In this paper, a new iris localization method for mobile devices is presented. Our system uses both intensity and saturation threshold on the captured eye images to determine iris boundary and sclera area, respectively. Estimated iris boundary pixels which have been placed outside the sclera will be removed. The remaining pixels are mainly the boundary of iris inside the sclera. Then, circular ...
متن کاملRobust nanobubble and nanodroplet segmentation in atomic force microscope images using the spherical Hough transform
Interfacial nanobubbles (NBs) and nanodroplets (NDs) have been attracting increasing attention due to their potential for numerous applications. As a result, the automated segmentation and morphological characterization of NBs and NDs in atomic force microscope (AFM) images is highly awaited. The current segmentation methods suffer from the uneven background in AFM images due to thermal drift a...
