in this paper occurrences of precipitation in iran was analyzed according to random processes by the applying of markov chain model. in order to do that occurrence and non-occurrence of rainfall of asfezari data base for the period of 1961/3/21 to 2004/12/31 was used. this data are for 7187 pixel and 15991 days. by using markov chain model first order two state dry and wet frequency matrix was ...

The paper describes a new method to segment ischemic stroke region on computed tomography (CT) images by utilizing joint features from mean, standard deviation, histogram, and gray level co-occurrence matrix methods. Presented unsupervised segmentation technique shows ability to segment ischemic stroke region.

Classifying scenes (such as mountains, forests) is not an easy task owing to their variability, ambiguity, and the wide range of illumination and scale conditions that may apply. Bag of features (BoF) model have achieved impressive performances in many famous databases(such as the 15 scene dataset). A main drawback of the BoF model is it disregards all information about the spatial layout of th...

The level of quality in segmentation and classification tasks, operating on biomedical digital images, is strongly affected by the ability of the feature functions to map the input structures on “highly separated” data sets. This level of separation is strictly dependent by the “discriminatory power” of the chosen feature functions, meaning with this expression the property of the functions to ...

-This paper proposes a method for extracting GLCM Features on Local Directional Pattern based Fuzzy Co-occurrence matrix for effective face recognition. In this method Local Directional Pattern is computed on the image and then fuzzy representation is used for reduction of image edge responsiveness values. Contrast, correlation, energy and homogeneity features are evaluated over Co-occurrence m...

We describe recent advances in the study of rent seeking and corruption in financial markets. We outline three areas of inquiry: (a) conceptualizing rent seeking, (b) identifying rent-provision channels and their general equilibrium impact, and (c) designing feasible remedial mechanisms. We provide suggestions for making further progress in these areas and review a variety of approaches taken i...

Remanent magnetization curves of perpendicular magnetic thin films are simulated and measured. The simulations are used to investigate the theoretical influence of the strong demagnetizing field present in these films. Conclusions are drawn from this on how remanence curves should be measured and how they should be c0rrecte.d for the demagnetizing influence. The experimental part consists of me...

Statistical Geometric Features (SGF) have recently been proposed for the classification of image textures. The SGF method is easily extended to use other geometric properties of connected regions. Following a brief review of the method, we propose such an extension to the set of SGF features for the purpose of classifying cervical cell textures. The resulting method proves to be as powerful as ...

C 17 O J = 2 → 1 observations have been carried out towards the pre-stellar core L1689B. By comparing the relative strengths of the hyperfine components of this line, the emission is shown to be optically thin. This allows accurate CO column densities to be determined and, for reference, this calculation is described in detail. The hydrogen column densities that these measurements imply are sub...
