Identification and Tabulation of Axons using Image Processing
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper presents a method for the automated identification of axons using image processing. Several methods of preprocessing are used in conjunction with watershed image segmentation to estimate and tally the axons. Edge detection, morphological processing, and image thresholding were used to isolate the axons in each image before segmentation. Each method was tuned for different image types; a voting system is used to provide consistent results for a wide variety of images.

In this paper, we present a machine vision system that was developed on the basis of neural networks to identify twelve houseplants. Image processing system was used to extract 41 features of color, texture and shape from the images taken from front and back of the leaves. The features were fed into the neural network system as the recognition criteria and inputs. Multilayer perceptron (MLP) ne...

Introduction: Glaucoma is the most common cause of blindness in some countries. In the meantime, the field of retinal image processing has been proposed in order to provide automatic systems for disease diagnosis. Among the methods of medical image processing, image segmentation is a process of identification and change in the display of an image. The objective of this study was to use t...
متن کاملAccurate Fruits Fault Detection in Agricultural Goods using an Efficient Algorithm
The main purpose of this paper was to introduce an efficient algorithm for fault identification in fruits images. First, input image was de-noised using the combination of Block Matching and 3D filtering (BM3D) and Principle Component Analysis (PCA) model. Afterward, in order to reduce the size of images and increase the execution speed, refined Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) algorithm was uti...
