Cancer is the second leading cause of death for both men and women in the world, and is expected to become the leading cause of death in the next few decades. The detection of cancer has become significant areas of research activity in the image processing and pattern recognition community. Modern imaging technology has already had lifesaving effects on our ability to detect cancer early and di...

The neighbourhood sequences have got a very important role in the digital image processing. In this paper we give some new results from this area. Using neighbourhood sequences on the n dimensional digital spaces, we give a formula to compute distances of any pairs of points. By practical reasons we underline the special cases of 2 and 3 dimensional digital spaces. It is known that there are no...

Most jigsaw puzzles that are available today consist of several 100 pieces of a single image, and can take several hours to solve. This project proposes to solve the puzzle simply by using a picture of all of the pieces, and an image of the final solution.

Digital metrics on the digital space play an important role in several branches of discrete mathematics, e.g. in discrete geometry or digital image processing. We perform an overall analysis on some properties of neighborhood sequences which induce metrics on Z.

This modern, self-contained, textbook explains the fundamental algorithms of digital image processing through practical examples and complete Java implementations. Available for the first time in English, Digital Image Processing is the definitive textbook for students, researchers, and professionals in search of critical analysis and modern implementations of the most important algorithms in t...

Digital image processing and analysis can be an important tool for the restoration of works of art. This paper presents three applications of image processing in this field: a method for digital crack restoration of paintings, a technique for color restoration of old paintings and a method for mosaicing of partial images of works of art painted on curved surfaces. A digital archiving system for...
