Impulsive noise is one of the imposed defectives degrades the quality of images. Performance of many image processing applications directly depends on the quality of the input image. Hence, it is necessary to de-noise the degraded images without losing their valuable information such as edges. In this paper we propose a method to remove impulsive noise from color images without damaging the ima...

Color science research, color image information processing research and development, as well as color printer product technology development, performed in relation to color image information processing, which is one of the core technologies of the color printing solutions at Oki Data, are described in three chapters of this paper. I should mention that this paper does not provide a detailed des...

noise removal operation is commonly applied as pre-processing step before subsequent image processing tasks due to the occurrence of noise during acquisition or transmission process. a common problem in imaging systems by using cmos or ccd sensors is appearance of  the salt and pepper noise. this paper presents cellular automata (ca) framework for noise removal of distorted image by the salt an...

1. Background and motivation The perception of color is of paramount importance in applications areas such as multimedia, computer vision, graphics, biomedical signal processing, and industrial inspection. Humans routinely use color features to sense the environment, identify and recognize objects of interest, and convey information. Color image processing and analysis deal with the manipulatio...

Image segmentation is a fundamental step in many of image processing applications. In most cases the image’s pixels are clustered only based on the pixels’ intensity or color information and neither spatial nor neighborhood information of pixels is used in the clustering process. Considering the importance of including spatial information of pixels which improves the quality of image segmentati...

Digital image processing is an emerging tool to predict fruit quality; therefore present study was carried out to develop an image processing technique for investigating the storage life of cantaloupe. Potassium permanganate (KMnO4) impregnated materials were used to prolong the postharvest life of cantaloupe fruit and the effects of these treatments were evaluated by 3 image textural features ...
