A New Image-Processing-Based Technique for Measuring Leaf Dimensions
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose in this paper a new method for measuring a number of leaf dimension parameters including height, width, average width, perimeter and area. A digital scanner is utilized to acquire leaf images, which unlike digital cameras, requires no calibration in terms of size and angle of the acquired images. Edge detection, filtering and thresholding algorithms are applied to identify the leaf section of the image against the background. Forty leaves that differ in shape and size were used to validate the estimated parameters against the true values and parameters produced by the popular Li-Cor 3100. Data indicated that the proposed method achieved a constantly high accuracy.

متن کاملProcessing Digital Image for Measurement of Crack Dimensions in Concrete
The elements of the concrete structure are most frequently affected by cracking. Crack detection is essential to ensure safety and performance during its service life. Cracks do not have a regular shape, in order to achieve the exact dimensions of the crack; the general mathematical formulae are by no means applicable. The authors have proposed a new method which aims to measure the crack dimen...

This paper presents a simple yet powerful original approach for approximating dispersivity in porous media. The key to this approach is both use of least-squares criterion and image processing technique. Two dimensional transparent models, including horizontal and vertical configurations, under different combinations of grain sizes and pore velocities, experimented. Concentration data were obta...
متن کاملAn Improved Pixon-Based Approach for Image Segmentation
An improved pixon-based method is proposed in this paper for image segmentation. In thisapproach, a wavelet thresholding technique is initially applied on the image to reduce noise and toslightly smooth the image. This technique causes an image not to be oversegmented when the pixonbasedmethod is used. Indeed, the wavelet thresholding, as a pre-processing step, eliminates theunnecessary details...
