in this article, the results of special effects of privatization of iranian gas refining industry with delphi-dematel integrative approach are presented. according to the results of this research in delphi technique base, all together, experts recognize 39 pivotal factors in privatization of the gas refining companies. then by the aids of dematel technique, in previous step, according to expert...

In this paper we present a retrieval-based application aimed at assisting a user to semi-automatically segment an incoming flow of historical newspaper images by automatically detecting a particular type of pages based on their appearance. A visual descriptor is used to assess page similarity while a relevance feedback process allow refining the results iteratively. The application is tested on...

This paper describes an approach to terrain identification based on pressure images generated through direct surface contact using a robot skin constructed around a high-resolution pressure sensing array. Terrain signatures for classification are formulated from the magnitude frequency responses of the pressure images. The initial experimental results for statically obtained images show that th...

. Paraphrasing Olivier Faugeras in the foreword of [1], making a robot see is still an unsolved and challenging task after several decades of research. The traditional research has been based on the geometric models of multiple views of a scene, estimating a sparse 3D map of the scene and the camera pose. Recent advances have led to fully dense and real-time 3D reconstructions. Also, there are ...

This paper presents an automatic mosaicking method for generating building facade texture from a sequence of color close-range digital camera images. The constraint of straight line bundle and the constraint of known orientation of parallel lines in object space are used for determining the digital camera’s parameters. Similar to the strip block adjustment used in aerial triangulation, a strip ...

Bringing a criminal to justice is a labour intensive process. In the current paper, we explored ways of reducing the police time involved with the construction and identification of facial composites (these are images of wanted persons made by witnesses and victims of crime). A software system called EvoFIT was used that ‘evolved’ a composite by the repeated selection and breeding of complete f...

The paper suggests a great improvement in the recognition rate and speed by overcoming the disadvantage of 3D image processing taking a long time as well as that of 2D images weak in postures through correcting shooting angles with 3D data taken by multi cameras followed by application of the developed hybrid face recognition technology.
