In this paper we present how to exploit the textural information to improve scribble-based image colorization. Although many methods have been already proposed for coloring grayscale images based on a set of color scribbles inserted by a user, very few of them take into account textural properties. We demonstrate that the textural information can be extremely helpful for this purpose and it may...

BACKGROUND Wireless capsule endoscopy has been introduced as an innovative, non-invasive diagnostic technique for evaluation of the gastrointestinal tract, reaching places where conventional endoscopy is unable to. However, the output of this technique is an 8 hours video, whose analysis by the expert physician is very time consuming. Thus, a computer assisted diagnosis tool to help the physici...

Cervical cancer is considered to be the deadliest gynaecological cancers which affect women and it now seems that the only way it could be controlled is by employing an automated system. Of all the visual parameters which the brain uses to make sense of the world around us the textural features is the best reliable one. Here we have tried to exploit this concept by analyzing the textural featur...

Fluorapatite from Cerro de Mercado, Durango, Mexico has been used in several important diffusion studies aimed at calibrating the closure temperature of the (U-Th)/He apatite thermochronometer and has become a de facto standard for (U-Th)/He laboratories. Nevertheless, replicate laser fusion analyses of small crystal fragments of the "Durango fluorapatite" typically yield a range of (U-Th)/He d...

Urban form, sustainability, community vision, place specificity, code document clarity, and efficiency of the development process are identified as the essential themes behind form-based codes by Evan Evangelopoulos and Cornelius Nurworsoo. The authors note the need to develop measurable parameters to better study these themes and understand the impact of form-based codes in their effort to ref...

This paper presents a novel approach to scribblebased image colorization. In the work reported here we have explored how to exploit the textural information to improve this process. For every scribbled image we extract the most discriminative features using linear discriminant analysis (LDA). After that, the whole image is projected onto a discriminative textural feature space. Our main contrib...

A classification method based on textural information for metallic surfaces displaying complex random patterns is proposed. Because these kinds of textures show fluctuations at a small scale and some uniformity at a larger scale, a probabilistic approach is followed, considering textural variations as realizations of random functions. Taking into account information of pixel neighbourhoods, the...
