In this study, we present an application of neural network and image processing techniques for detecting the defects of an internal micro-spray nozzle. The defect regions were segmented by Canny edge detection, a randomized algorithm for detecting circles and a circle inspection (CI) algorithm. The gray level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM) was further used to evaluate the texture features of the s...

A Clextral BP-10 (type BC45) co-rotating twin-screw extruder was used for texture modification of extrudates. Dry materials were mixed in a mixer for 15 min at low speed before extrusion. Moisture content 21–23% and addition of soya bean flour (0–40%) showed significant influences on the texture of the extrudates. Addition of soya bean flour in the range from 0 to 40% increased the diametrical ...

This paper is aimed at analyzing the electromagnetic (EM) scattering from the twodimensional (2-D) Gaussian rough surfaces characterized by textures. Visual appearances of the stripe texture can be generated through the angle rotating in Fourier transform when the ratio of the correlation lengths in two directions is large enough. The scattering field is derived in Cartesian coordinate system t...

The paper describes a multi-resolution algorithm based on fractal geometry for texture analysis and detection of oil spills in SAR images. The multi-resolution approach reduces the problems of speckle and sea clutter and preserves subtle variations of oil slicks. The use of fractal dimension as a feature for classification improves the oil spill detection, since enhances texture discrimination....

Optical Character Recognition (OCR) is a system that provides a full alphanumeric recognition of printed or handwritten characters by simply scanning the text image. OCR system interprets the printed or handwritten characters image and converts it into corresponding editable text document. The text image is divided into regions by isolating each line, then individual characters with spaces. Aft...

Cytology, a method of estimating cancer or cellular atypia from microscopic images of scraped specimens, is used according to the pathologist's experience to diagnose cases based on the degree of structural changes and atypia. Several methods of cell feature quantification, including nuclear size, nuclear shape, cytoplasm size, and chromatin texture, have been studied. We focus on chromatin dis...

We investigated eleven particle-size distribution (PSD) models to determine the appropriate models for describing the PSDs of 16349 Chinese soil samples. These data are based on three soil texture classification schemes, including one ISSS (International Society of Soil Science) scheme with four data points and two Katschinski's schemes with five and six data points, respectively. The adjusted ...

In this paper a robust approach is proposed for content based image retrieval (CBIR) using texture analysis techniques. The proposed approach includes three main steps. In the first one, shape detection is done based on Top-Hat transform to detect and crop object part of the image. Second step is included a texture feature representation algorithm using color local binary patterns (CLBP) and lo...

This paper presents a new method to correct overlapping textures of a single 3D model where each texture was obtained under possibly different lighting conditions and color response of the camera. This situation arises frequently when a single object is digitized using multiple 3D scanners. Our goal is to remove any visible seam and improve color consistency between the textures in order to mer...

—Due to the problems of the new generation of video coding standard HEVC (High-Efficiency Video Coding), such as high computational complexity and the large computation, This paper proposes a fast inter-mode decision algorithm based on image texture features and by using Sobel operator the edge features are extracted from CU which is partitioned by simulation, and then the final partitioning s...
