iran has not yet gained the desired place in world date market, due to not considering the world standards in the processes of grading and packaging. machine vision and image processing are two of the new techniques that have found their places of application in agricultural industry. in this research, a solution has been introduced for classification of mozafati date introducing 5 different gr...

one of the most important problems in the upstream oil industries is heavy organic and asphaltene deposition that cause to plug in formations, production surface facilities, wellbore, and flow lines. determination of asphaltene precipitation, flocculation and aggregation mechanisms and asphaltene flocculation onset point are too important subjects in asphaltene deposition management. in this wo...

The current methods of turfgrass evaluations are often based on human-based assessment methods. However, eliminating subjective errors from such evaluations is often impossible. This research compared the accuracy of human-based and digital image processing-based methods for quality assessment of turfgrasses. Four turfgrass plots were evaluated using the two mentioned methods. In the human-base...

JPEG is one of the most widely used image compression method, but it causes annoying blocking artifacts at low bit-rates. Sparse representation is an efficient technique which can solve many inverse problems in image processing applications such as denoising and deblocking. In this paper, a post-processing method is proposed for reducing JPEG blocking effects via sparse representation. In this ...

As the information carried in a high spatial resolution image is not represented by single pixels but by meaningful image objects, which include the association of multiple pixels and their mutual relations, the object based method has become one of the most commonly used strategies for the processing of high resolution imagery. This processing comprises two fundamental and critical steps towar...

improving the quality of medical images at pre and post-surgery operations are necessary for beginning and speeding up the recovery process. partial differential equations (pdes)-based models have become a powerful and well known tool in different areas of image processing such as denoising, multiscale image analysis, edge detection and other fields of image processing and computer vision. in t...

speckle is a granular disturbance in coherent images such as synthetic aperture radar (sar) images, modeled as a multiplicative noise. this noise degrades the sar image and complicates the image exploitation using automated image analysis techniques. several approaches have been developed to reduce the effect of speckle noise. recently, the application of compressed sensing (cs) is explored in ...
