PURPOSE To test the validity of the color component subtraction method, a new objective technique of measuring nuclear cataract, and to correlate the tangent values of the different degrees of nuclear opacities to their corresponding subjective nuclear cataract grading using the Lens Opacities Classification System II and to another objective method of measuring nuclear cataract. METHODS Dens...

Specular reflections and interreflections produce strong highlights in brightness images. These highlights can cause vision algorithms, such as, segmentation, shape from shading, binocular stereo, and motion detection to produce erroneous results. We present an algorithm for separating the specular and d i f i s e components of reflection from images. The method iises color and polarization, si...

let $pounds$ be the category of locally compact abelian groups and $a,cin pounds$. in this paper, we define component extensions of $a$ by $c$ and show that the set of all component extensions of $a$ by $c$ forms a subgroup of $ext(c,a)$ whenever $a$ is a connected group. we establish conditions under which the component extensions split and determine lca groups which are component projective. ...

We describe a new color edge detection scheme and a related diffusion process based on hyperbolic coordinates in color space. We derive intensity, hue and saturation based edge detectors and show that the intensity and hue based diffusion processes are governed by the heat equation familiar from conventional scale space theory. A qualitatively new differential equation is derived for the satura...

We present here simultaneous INTEGRAL/RXTE observations of Sco X-1, and in particular a study of the hard X-ray emission of the source and its correlation with the position in the Z-track of the X-ray color-color diagram. We find that the hard X-ray (above about 30 keV) emission of Sco X-1 is dominated by a power-law component with a photon index of ∼ 3. The flux in the powerlaw component sligh...

Hadronic annihilation rate of 1 heavy quarkonium is given to next-to-leading order in αs and leading order in v using a recently developed factorization formalism which is based on NRQCD. The result includes both the annihilation of P-wave color-singlet QQ̄ component, and the annihilation of S-wave color-octet QQ̄ component of the quarkonium. The notorious infrared divergences due to soft gluons,...

Most physics-based color processing methods define color signals as functions of wavelengths. Such a description characterizes the color signal completely from a physical point of view. This representation has however several drawbacks: the description is redundant and important properties are often hidden and difficult to extract from this representation. Other color representations may provid...

This paper extends the BV (Bounded Variation) G and/or the BV-L variational nonlinear image-decomposition approaches, which are considered to be useful for image processing of a digital color camera, to genuine color-image decomposition approaches. For utilizing inter-channel color cross-correlations, this paper first introduces TV (Total Variation) norms of color differences and TV norms of co...

partial least square and principal component regression methods were applied to various mixtures of Allura Red and Brilliant Blue to determine the concentrations. Colorants, at the same time, were analyzed with UV-spectrophotometry in chemical separation. The obtained experimental data have been evaluated by chemometric methods as Partial Least Squares (PLS) and Principle Component Regressi...

In this paper the color images with dim regions have been enhanced by using modified histogram equalization (MHE) algorithm. This technique uses the lightness component in YIQ color space is transformed using sigmoid function, then the traditional histogram equalization (HE) method is applied on Y component. A relationship between the mean and the average of standard deviation for images have b...
