Drying is one of the widely used methods of food preservation and it is a sensitive food processing operation due to undesirable changes in the quality of dried product. In this study the effect of osmotic dyhedration and ultrasound pretreatment prior to convective drying on quality properties of apple slices was investigated. Apple slices were pretreated by osmotic dehydration in two concentra...

Video enhancement approach aiming to achieve high qualities in entire video. Proposes a Superimposing algorithm for improve quality of intraframe based on multiple regions-of-interest and create piecewise tone mapping curve for entire frame, interframe constraints to improve the temporal quality consistency and based on result extract histogram. Two step are used for object quality retrieval (i...

It is generally accepted that the color of salmon products is one of the most important quality parameters. Therefore, color plays a decisive role when evaluating the quality of the product at point-of-sale. The colors resulting from the deposition of carotenoids are considered to be of significant behavioral importance to animals. However, in addition to their coloration properties, the carote...

The major trend in the antioxidant market is the growing consumer demand for natural antioxidants. Tea, one of the most widely consumed beverages in the world, is an easy way to obtain antioxidant components from a natural source. Our objective was to develop burdock root tea (BRT) with potent antioxidant activity and good color quality. In order to obtain maximum antioxidant activity and quali...

microwave assisted fluidized bed drying is a novel drying technique which reduces drying time and yields higher quality products. in this study the effect of this method on color changes of whole and cut hazelnut kernels was investigated. the parameters of color and resulting total color change, chroma, hue angle and browning index were also calculated during drying in three temperatures (40, 5...

The detailed performance comparison of four orthogonal transforms for grayscale image colorization using Thepade’s Transform Error Vector Rotation(TTEVR) algorithm is done here with five different color pallet sizes. The Thepade’s transform error vector rotation algorithms use binary numbers represented by four error vector sequences (Haar, Cosine, Slant & Hartley). The proposed technique uses ...

The video capture of surgery is becoming widely used but the colors reproduced by conventional RGB-based video systems differ from the original. In this work, 6-band multispectral video was applied to the open surgery for highfidelity color reproduction, and medical doctors visually evaluated the reproduced image quality. As a result, 1) the 6band video system was rated significantly higher in ...

Much of the work on visual quality assessment has been devoted to gray-level images; metrics taking into account color information and the temporal component are still relatively rare. This paper presents a quality metric for color video which is based on a recent contrast gain control model of the human visual system. It is used to assess the quality of MPEG-coded sequences and exhibits a beha...
