The golden camellia, Camellia nitidissima Chi., is a well-known ornamental plant that is known as "the queen of camellias" because of its golden yellow flowers. The principal pigments in the flowers are carotenoids and flavonol glycosides. Understanding the biosynthesis of the golden color and its regulation is important in camellia breeding. To obtain a comprehensive understanding of flower de...

problem exacerbated by mixed surrounds (4, 7)], in agreement with the behavior of a major class of cortical cells (10), as well as with psychophysical evidence for color/luminance interactions (I 1). All of this bears on Masland's dichotomy between the multiplexing (co-coding) and parallel channel approaches. Models that do not filter parvo cells do not account for the properties of cortical ce...

Content-Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) is one of the most active hot spots in the current research field of multimedia retrieval. According to the description and extraction of visual content (feature) of the image, CBIR aims to find images that contain specified content (feature) in the image database. In this paper, several key technologies of CBIR, e. g. the extraction of the color and texture...

Dietary conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) treatment reduced color a*- and b*-values of cooked chicken breast rolls. Sensory panels rated the color of cooked chicken rolls with CLA treatments darker than the control. The production of carbon monoxide (CO) in cooked chicken rolls increased dramatically after irradiation and was correlated with the increased redness of cooked chicken rolls after irra...

We have developed an elegant and effective method for contentbased color image indexing and retrieval. A color image is first represented as a sequence of binary images each captures the presence or absence of a predefined visual feature, such as color. Binary vision algorithms are then used to analyze the geometric properties of the bit planes. The size, shape, or geometry moment of each conne...

This research seeks to ascertain the impact of hydrogen peroxide bleaching gel on color stability and roughness nano-filled composite restoration. The most important aesthetic elements restoration are surface gloss, roughness, color. It has been claimed that saliva, food ingredients, beverages may compromise integrity aesthetics dental composites, causing them degrade in mouth. For restorations...

In this paper a new quantitative tissue characterization (QTC) program was developed for computing a standardized sets of parameters and quantitative color-mapping of these parameters for non-invasive accurate diagnosis of liver pathologies. In this program, histogram, co-occurrence matrix, runlength matrix, gradient texture feature coding, backscattering, attenuation and speckle parameters wer...

Two-color (800and 400-nm) short (45-fs) linearly polarized pulses are used to ionize and dissociate CO and NO. The emission of Cq+, Nq+, and O+ fragments indicates that the higher ionization rate occurs when the peak electric field points from C to O in CO and from N to O in NO. This preferred direction is in agreement with that predicted by Stark-corrected strong-field-approximation calculations.

Never before in history has image data been generated at such high volumes as it is today. If images are analyzed properly, they can reveal useful information to the users. Image mining deals with the extraction of implicit knowledge, image data relationship, or other patterns not explicitly stored in the images. Image clustering involves the extraction of features from image databases and then...
