Histogram warping is a novel histogram specification technique for use in color image processing. As a general purpose tool for color correction, our technique constructs a global color mapping function in order to transform the colors of a source image to match a target color distribution to any desired degree of accuracy. To reduce the risk of color distortion, the transformation takes place ...

To address the technical shortcomings of conventional histogram equalization (HE), such as over-enhancement and artifacts, we propose a histogram-constrained contrast-tunable HE technique for digital image enhancement. Firstly, input is partitioned into two parts, main constrained histogram, by cumulative probability density threshold; second, redistributed equally in whole grayscale range; fin...

many environmental and physiological factors affect plant temperature. the objective of this study was to use thermal imagery to investigate robust features for early diagnosis of botrytis cinerea infection in cut rose flowers under the postharvest application of methyl jasmonate (meja). three cases treated with different concentrations of meja (0.1, 0.2, and 0.3 µl.l−1), a control (0 µl.l−1 me...

in this paper, the performance of 11 different distances for image retrieval and classification, based on color, shape and texture, is evaluated. the precision-recall measure and the correct classification rate of the k-nn classifier are used to evaluate retrieval and classification performances, respectively. the experimental results for a database of 1000 images from 10 different semantic gro...

The goal of this thesis is to modify projection pursuit by trading accuracy for interpretability. The modification produces a more parsimonious and understandable model without sacrificing the structure which projection pursuit seeks. The method retains the nonlinear versatility of projection pursuit while clarifying the results. Following an introduction which outlines the dissertation, the fi...
