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...

introduction: nowadays, with the development of imaging systems and image processing algorithms, a new branch of agriculture and food industry quality control has emerged. meat and related products have high commercial value and they are one of the most important items of household food basket (jackman et al., 2011). the apparent color of the meat is one of the most important ranking factors wh...

one of the most fundamental features of digital image and the basic steps in image processing, analysis, pattern recognition and computer vision is the edge of an image where the preciseness and reliability of its results will affect directly on the comprehension machine system made objective world. several edge detectors have been developed in the past decades, although no single edge detector...

An improved pixon-based method is proposed in this paper for image segmentation. In thisapproach, a wavelet thresholding technique is initially applied on the image to reduce noise and toslightly smooth the image. This technique causes an image not to be oversegmented when the pixonbasedmethod is used. Indeed, the wavelet thresholding, as a pre-processing step, eliminates theunnecessary details...

the quality evaluation of agricultural products is one of the key factors in promoting their quality. in this study, a method based on combined image processing technique and artificial neural network was presented. separation of touching almonds under different positions is a very important step in design of grading devices. in this study, an image processing algorithm based on extracting crit...

physical properties of fruits and vegetables are the subject of many researches because of its importance in designing of agricultural machinery. banana fruit is one of important fruit. in this study some physical properties of banana fruit (cavendish variety) were determined. properties which were measured included weight of whole fruit peel and pulp weight, dimensions, surface area and projec...

in this work, cofe2o4 nanoparticles have been prepared by co-precipitation technique. the synthesized cofe2o4 nanoparticles were applied in the preparation of cofe2o4/polyacrylonitrile fiber nanocomposites by the electrospinning process. the prepared nanoparticles and nanofibers were characterized using the scanning electron microscopy (sem) and x-ray diffraction methods. the results manifested...
