The paper describes how neural networks may be used to segment and label objects in images. A self-organising feature map is used for the segmentation phase, and we quantify the quality of the segmentations produced as well as the contribution made by colour and texture features. A multi-layer perception is trained to label the regions produced by the segmentation process. It is shown that 91.1...

This paper discusses three distinct techniques for animation of procedural textures and describes the assisting software tool. Animation is attained by moving the rendered point before texture evaluation, changing the definition of texture space or changing the texture colour mapping. Examples are given for textures that base on noise and turbulence functions in order to simulate natural phenom...

We investigate the use of the standard morphological texture characterisation methods, the granulometry and the variogram, in the task of texture classification. These methods are applied to both colour and greyscale texture images. We also introduce a method for minimising the effect of different illumination conditions and show that its use leads to improved classification. The classification...

Th e drying characteristics of “Granny Smith” apple were investigated using a bench-scale fl uidised bed drier at diff erent temperatures and using blanching in hot water as pre-treatment. Temperatures of fl uidisation for non-treated and treated samples were 50, 60, 70 and 80 oC and airfl ow velocity 3.50 m s-1. Th e aim of the experiment was to get apples with approximately 9% water content, ...

A detailed evaluation of the use of texture features in a query-by-example approach to image retrieval is presented. Three radically different texture feature types motivated by i) statistical, ii) psychological and iii) signal processing points of view are used. The features were evaluated and tuned on retrieval tasks from the Corel collection and then evaluated and tested on the TRECVID 2003 ...

In industrial applications, product identification is the most common thing now days. To kept in mind that we focus on the classification of our industrial product with the help of its texture using segmentation [7] and offset. Texture plays an important role in identifying the characteristics of an image/product. Image has visual features which are characterized as: (i) domain specific feature...

many factors can affect wheat gluten properties and functionality. one of the most important, factors is the wheat bug damages. insect injects a salivery proteinase into wheat kernel that causes weakening of gluten, substansial losses in physical quality, dough properties and baking performance. bread baked with the insect-damaged flour has a much lower volume, poor crumb sensory quality (textu...

Wheat end product quality is determined by a complex group of traits including dough viscoelastic characteristics and bread-making properties. Quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping and analysis were conducted for endosperm texture, dough-mixing strength, and bread-making properties in a population of 139 (MN99394 × MN98550) recombinant inbred lines that were evaluated at three environments in 2...
