This article describes the use of an LVQ neural network for the clustering and classification of marble slabs according to their texture. The method used for the recognition of textures is based on the Sum and Difference Histograms, a faster version of the Co-occurrence Matrices. The input of the network is a vector of statistical parameters which characterize the pattern shown to the net, and ...

The main scope was the development of support code for a marble tile inspection machine. Marble tiles running on a conveyor belt are captured with a linear CCD camera, and the images are being used for geometrically inspection within 300 msec, which is the available time until the tile reaches the selection mechanism right after the inspection chamber. Supporting algorithm should be fully funct...

This paper builds up a bridge between the formal and cognitive modeling of human reasoning aspects. To this end, we focus on empirical studies on playing a certain game, namely marble drop, that involves reasoning about other minds, and build up a formal system that can model the different strategic reasoning methods employed by the participants in the empirical study. Finally, we show how the ...

Osteopetrosis, or marble bone disease, is a rare skeletal disorder due to a defective function of the osteoclasts. This defect renders bones more susceptible to osteomyelitis due to decreased vascularity. This disorder is inherited as autosomal dominant and autosomal recessive. Healthcare professionals should urge these patients to maintain their oral health as well as general health, as this c...

A virtual air-hockey game and a virtual and an actual marble-maze game have been created that allow data to be captured while the games are being played. This data is parsed into small parts of the task called primitives and databases of observed primitives are created. A learning agent then uses the database to perform the task. A virtual air-hockey player has learned to select and make shots....

Rice is staple food of Asian countries including Pakistan. Contamination paddyfields with marble waste containing toxic metals has emerged as a key public health concern. Current study aimed to analyze heavy metal concentrations in powder, paddy soil and rice crop estimate probable human risks District Malakand Triplicate dry samples were analyzed through Energy Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence sp...
